Since I have started this journey to become healthy, eat right and prepare myself for an incredible challenge, I am now entering week 6!! I am also happy to report, I am still ... Beer Free!!! I knew going into this challenge that it was going to be more like playing Super Mario 3 for the very first time. I was going to have to visit every world one at a time, there was not going to be any secret whistle that I could pick up to send me directly to the end without putting in the work. As each week passes I feel a since of accomplishment!!
The family took an overdue trip to the lake house last weekend. It was perfect weather and I was even able to get outside in the morning before everyone got up and did some running. If you have not been to the Ozarks, let me tell you THERE ARE LARGE HILLS. Driving there you do not think much about it, however, running up a steep incline, I thought about it a lot!!!
Hitting those hills I started to think, yes thinking is a dangerous thing sometimes!! But I was trying to get my mind off of my legs which were burning and onto something else. Figure I would share those thoughts that I had going through my head! The first hill I ran down I thought, how easy is this!! So glad that I did not have to work very hard, I was gain some distance on my run without having to spend very much time doing it! There was a slight wind blowing, my music was rocking, my head was high, I felt great, I felt like I was on top of the world....well as I soon found out not so much on top of anything, but down in a valley. Soon the easy down hill came to an end, the road flattened out and ahead of me was the hill back to the top!!!
Just remember, I was feeling good I thought I could tackle this, well I thought that until I got about half way up the hill. I had to slow down, I REALLY had to slow down!! Holy Hill I said. As much of an easy road I had down the hill, I had an extremely tough time back up the other side. Once I finally got to the top and back to level ground I started to think about what just happened and realized something. All those hills (or times in life) that you put limited amount of work or effort into what you are doing, it will eventually change and when it changes it will be drastic!!! Once you make that change you are going to have to work twice as hard going back up or getting to where you once were in life.

Kinda sounds like when you make the decision to eat healthy? Taking the easy hill down, not worried about your health, eating what you want...until you reach the bottom. Now the hill back up is going to be so hard, so tough and a lot of work!! I want to make sure I am the person when going back up that hill I do not give up and take the detour back to the hill to go back down.
Now for
We did some talking about Super Mario 3, how about we take a trip back to the original commercial!!
Have a rad day and an awesome week!!
