Day 1
It seems like I have been here before,at Day 1.
That's fine with me.I am intentionally starting over,at the beginning. I am approaching this 40 day cycle as if it was the first time. I am allowing myself to experience the energy and emotions that brought me success in the past. I am enjoying digging out the tools and skills that I have let go unused .
It's more than just a refresher course. It's more like attending basic training all over again.
I do want to put out there that it's not as if I am where I was 4 years ago when I started this Journey. On the contrary. I'll give you an example. Last night I was introduced to a potential new Why Weight client. My brother pointed out my before and after hanging on the wall. She then looked me up and down and commented "Wow.....you look great!". I was flattered......however I knew better!
I knew I am not comfortable at my current weight or with my current eating protocols.
Example #2.
I was reading through an email from a high school friend. We both wrestled heavy weight ,often against each other in practice.
He shared with me how thrilled he was to be back down to size 36 slacks, someplace he had not been since our entering high school.
I sent back an email supporting him and congratulating him on this epic achievement knowing full well that if I am wearing size 36 slacks , I am certainly anything but happy about it!
It does feel good,even special, to be starting again,at Day1,with the enthusiasm and promise of what the program will do for me.
For the next 40 days, this will be my primary focus.
Yes, I still have work to do. I still have a bus to drive.
The yard still needs my attention. The pool will have to be opened at some point during the next 6 weeks.
And I have a number of other "hot button" items that I will attend to. 
The program will be #1. 
My day will start and end with it. 
Every morning,I will brief myself on how I will approach the day and every evening I will spend some time evaluating my experience.
It feels fresh, nd that's a good thing. And as always, I am glad to have you along for support and encouragement.
Thanks!
