But I have the solution for you! Have you tried Crossfit? Do it! There are several affiliates in the Atlanta area. (Just Google "Crossfit Atlanta" or go to Crossfit.com.) It will turn you into the athlete you want to be.I Can Has Barbellzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02152913706623347488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048227863749244576.post-73477413148946737772012-05-22T08:22:47.489-04:002012-05-22T08:22:47.489-04:00I found a great little mantra that keeps me motiva...I found a great little mantra that keeps me motivated when I feel defeated: <br /><br />" Remember that girl who gave up? Neither does anyone else."<br /><br />Today is a new day. Do one thing today that will get you back on track. Grab those sneakers and get outside, if only for 20 minutes. It's not how often you fall, it's how quickly you get back up. You can do it!Crissy Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960584706958582064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048227863749244576.post-44303579754197886392012-05-21T16:13:45.936-04:002012-05-21T16:13:45.936-04:00Oh that is such a bummer to be sick on race day! S...Oh that is such a bummer to be sick on race day! Some things just end out out of our hands, and that was one of them. But you staying with the body you have now? I don't think so...you are too much of a fighter, and YES, an athlete. Honestly, I think most of your feelings are coming from not feeling well physically - as soon as you're back to 100%, you will be singing a happier tune. Hang in there - you are going to do this!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268130692900152965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048227863749244576.post-71820531937963302412012-05-21T14:57:50.757-04:002012-05-21T14:57:50.757-04:00Would you like me to go with yoga to you again?

I wish I had some answers for you, but all I can say is that even if you aren't succeeding the way you WANT to be succeeding, it's still a far cry from where you'd be if you did truly throw in the towel.

I also relate to the feelings of defeat that sometimes encroach into our consciousness. But remember, feelings AREN'T facts. And every thought that comes into our mind is not necessarily the truth. You have made remarkable progress, worked hard, and come such a long way on this journey. This slump will pass. It is a tough road at times.<br /><br />I know you aren't giving up. And neither am I!<br /><br />Also - thank you for the offer of possible help for Jean when she begins job hunting. We may just get in touch! <br /><br />Hang in there, Tina - you're a winner already.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401609334253676307noreply@blogger.com
