Slow and Steady Wins the Race...

Day 2 of 40

When I start something new, I am excited, pumped up and focussed.  I want to get on the scale after two days and see 20 pounds dropped, LOL (don't laugh at me, just with me).  The reality is that is UNREALISTIC and if somehow I could pull that rabbit out of the hat, those pounds would come back with a vengeance three fold.  For me in my journey, "slow and steady wins the race".  Consistent working out and good food choices pay off high dividends over a long period of time.  So though I'm on Day 2 and I have worked out today and am keeping true to the goals of the 40 Day Quest, the winners circle is at the end on Day 40 when I can look back and see, feel and revel in the cumulative results of the daily accomplishments of the journey.  The finish line is far off but I'm focussed on getting there as I navigate the terrain, I'll get there "One Day At A Time".  (SN: Why that song was one of my grandmother's favorites becomes clearer and clearer to me each day.)

I must highlight that today I received TWO surprises, I am blessed to be surrounded by such loving, caring and giving people that thought I deserved their thoughtfulness.  It's one thing to receive a gift but it's another when the thought behind it is as unique, thoughtful and perfect for you.  Thanks to them both I am feeling extraordinary!

So Day 2 was a very good day, it's my last day of my 21 day detox and tomorrow I'll keep moving slow and stayed to win the race being conscious of what I eat and looking forward to working out.

Feeling special,
