Thrill Seeker

This morning I did seventy sit-ups and I realized that I've entered a brand new world. This is unchartered territory, for me, to be able to do 70 sit-ups and to continue doing more and more every day. To run, to do push ups, to be athletic. This is a way of life I've admired without ever thinking I could join in. I've always thought I was not athletic. I believed that voice in my head that told me I couldn't do it. 

Now that inner-mind voice blathers and I ignore it like I ignore the voice of my daughter's annoying little friend, who is always asking me why the backseat of my car isn't clean. As I'm learning to notice but also ignore the voice that tells me I can't do lots of things. I was so used to that voice, that I didn't even realize how much control it had over me. 

I'm 1/6 through the project, with no signs of stopping. It is working. I am thrilled.
