She Turned Her Cants into Cans and Her Dreams into Plans

I was told last night that I walk like a "cute penguin."  Its a good thing the comment was prefaced by the word cute. But its hard walking different since my surgery.  Its hard looking at a flight of stairs let alone go up or down htem. I get frustrated and stuck sometimes in my recovery.  I miss the easy days where I rolled out of bed full of energy, ready to take on the world. I miss pretty high heel shoes and well moisturized feet.  I cant wait to reach my feet.  I cant wait until I walk normal.  But this life is the journey not the destination and it is with each and every step that I'm turning my cants into cans and my dreams into plans.

Goal Calendar, Not For Sissies.

I'm not messing around!!! I am going to reach my goal or I should say I'm going to accomplish multiple goals.  When I think of my big picture goal, I get a little overwhelmed. I question whether or not I can do this.  But when I think in terms of smaller goals, I feel so much more capable. I have realized that the key here, is to always keep going with new goals.  There is no stopping point where suddenly I can go back to eating junk, treating my body like crap, and not exercising.  I will never see that day. 

I put some of my favorite quotes and a couple pictures on my calendar to help me to visualize my goals.  It is also a place where I can mark off my daily work-outs and progress.  The last calendar I made had my inspiration Birthday party dress.  This one I put pictures of hot bikini bodies.  Whatever is driving me, I want to be reminded. 

My favorite quote right now is "Eat for the body you want, not the body you have." 
I know what the body I want looks like, it is strong, athletic, and lean. 
My goal is not for sissies and either is my calendar.
