I've had this pair of jean in my closet for 6 months now. They were really cute jeans that were WAY small when I bought them. Yesterday I wore them to work! I was so excited they fit. ESPECIALLY in light of the fact that I haven’t been losing much in pounds. Now I have been losing inches, just not pounds. Apparently because I get a bit of an “attitude” when I don’t see the scales go down much, Jake said I am 100% and permanently banned from the scales. Period.
So I came home kind of in a funk, and tried on the jeans as part of my pity party. Imagine how amazed I was that they fit!! The pity party went out the window and it made me realize that maybe there is a reason he is the trainer and I am the trainee.
It also made me think of goals, because I can’t believe these were my goal jeans. It is time to get another, and smaller, pair of new goal jeans. As I was talking to a good friend about this she started laughing. She said “do you remember what your goal was this time last year?” Then it hit me – it was to walk without my cane. Today walking is so second nature to me, that I forget that this was my goal for YEARS. So maybe I’m not the size I hoped I would be. Maybe I still get UBER tired after a challenging workout. Guess what? I’m tired because I’m DOING something and more importantly, am ABLE to do something. So my new goal isn’t to wear a smaller size, it is to figure out how I can reach as many people as possible and let them know that they too can set and OBTAIN new goals. Seemingly unobtainable goals. Seemingly……
Oh, and to wear a smaller size. J
