Things of worth take work

Success!  Well, a little success.  A small victory.  I've checked something off my list.  Three weeks into picking up my journey again, I've lost 20% of the weight.  10 lbs so far.  40 more to go. 

I should note that the first steps are always the easiest.  My feet are fresh.  My way is clear.  I'm not fatigued. 

A few of the things that have helped me get here are:

• no caffeine
• lots of water
• oatmeal for breakfast (from whole oats with a little Splenda and salt)
• lots of exercise

I should note that these small steps took time to develop.  I did not give up caffeine overnight, or love drinking water immediately.  Things of worth take work.  You've got the energy to do the work, too.  You can achieve your own goals if you plan for success, put in the effort, and keep the goal in sight.  Go out there and get your own first ten.

I will post some of my athletic goals for the year and other nutrition tips that have worked for me in later posts, because there is more to my past accomplishments and more will go into my future successes than four bullet points in my first blog.  I'll also list some of the gear that I love and some the gear that I would love to replace.
 


Now to rest so I can destroy a spin class tomorrow morning.
