Getting past "I CAN'T"

Sorry about the last blog post. I was in a downer mood.  Could you tell?  Anyhoo...on to bigger and better things.

Long before the 100 DHC came along I knew I needed to change.  There were always reasons (excuses) that I couldn't make it happen.  Days would come and go and nothing would change.  Through these times the thing that would hold me back were the two words "I Can't".  I can't go to the gym because of the kids and even if I did go to the gym I am too fat/uncoordinated to do anything there.  I can't buy these deliciously health foods because my kids won't eat them.  I can't take time to take care of my self because it takes time away from my kids and husband.  The word CAN'T was taking over my life. 

Over the last 45 days I have learned that I can.  I can take time for myself because it's important not only for my body but for my mind.  I can buy healthy, delicious food and my family will eat it.  While it maybe hard at first, I can do different things to work my body other than just the treadmill or elliptical.   Last week I tried something new: Kickboxing.  It was a challenge but I made it through the workouts.  I was really sore the next day but it was okay because I know that I had worked hard.  There were somethings I couldn't do exactly like they were doing but I figured out how to make the necessary adjustments and still got a great workout. 

I just need to remember that I can do anything as long as I try.
