DEL.ICIO.USWOW!!! Mixed Emotions Week 2
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Week 2 has been amazing. I have learned so much form Sara about correct form which is something I have always had a problem with. I have also been having problems with my knees and Sara has been able to work magic on them through PT. David the acupuncturist is brilliant. The acupuncture I know has helped my knees as well and he has been very informative on supplements and nutrition. I know I will be able to apply what he has shared with me on a daily basis to eating healthier. I also had my first massage this week, Harry is very talented. I was very relaxed. I also have the opportunity of speaking with a psychologist during this process. My first meeting with Linda was very helpful and made we realize how helpful it is to talk about the fitness challenge and be healthier. It truly is about mind, body, and soul. I am letting God take care of my soul.
This week has been a mixed of emotions, I knew it was going to public, but I didn’t realize how public for me. At church I know a couple of dozen of people congratulated, many more are praying for me and encouraging me. Although with all this support the fear of failing is very real. More than disappointing myself, I worry about letting everyone else down. This is an emotion that I wasn’t expecting to deal with.
My friend Jay told me to post little notes everywhere to inspire me and remind myself that I can do this. As well as remember scripture that will inspire me. I am in the process of doing this. On the flip side I know I can do this and how fortunate I am to be a part of this challenge. Keep the comments coming they help me get to the next week!

Laura fear is very real when you are doing something new. I am trying to shed a few lbs and it is hard to be focus all the time. Keep looking up and you will succeed.

Laura, that’s a great idea about the little notes. I’m going to try that. My trainer told me to be sure to pray about this as he knows I’m a person of faith as well. It IS such an emotional process — so much of this is in our HEADS. Gotta get the head in the right place in order to get the body in the right place. Keep on keepin’ on!

Laura, with The Lord’s strength you are doing great! I pray that your faith will endure through this trial. And, remember, with God ALL things are possible! “Facing The Giants” would probably be a good movie for you to watch this weekend. May God continue to bless you and keep you on this spiritual and fitness journey!
