Hey America this is day 18 of Ted's blog and I wanted to
talk to you a little about Motivation, Motivation is
what has to happen if you are going to get on any exercise program
and stick with it. You have to have some goal, just like
climbing a mountain, you know if you start off at the bottom of the mountain
and you're walking up to the top of the mountain, you can see the crest of the mountain
peak and you are saying "can I make it" and
the thing that mountain climbers have over other people is they have the drive and the
desire to get to that peak and make it to the top.
That's one of the things that I'm finding out as I'm working on my
exercise routine everyday. Is getting myself
motivated, trying to get myself to get to that mountain top, right now
I'm at the bottom of the hill, you know I just started going up and I
am looking up at the top of that mountain and I'm thinking "well you know I wanna lose 25 pounds"
I want to get in shape, I want to get myself really healthy
healthier than where I'm at right now, I mean it's slowly happening
at a pace where it's just like the climb of the mountain
I'm going to keep my eyes focused on the
mountain peak and keep walking up that hill
until I get there. One of the things that's driving me to
succeed in this whole thing is just
seeing the progress that I've had just in the last couple of weeks. Being able to feel better
walk a little more briskly and just having my head clearer
and then just looking at pictures of myself
when I was 16 or 17 years old and I was a lot
lighter. And wanting to get my body frame down
to that size again. I realize the frame isn't going to change a whole lot
but the stuff that's around the frame hopefully can.
I myself personally am a little bit bigger ***
and a little bit more of an around the bone type of person
than a lot of bicycle riders so it will be interesting to see what's going to happen with me
where I will get in the end if I keep on this program.
So anyway I just wanted to give you a little update and remember
when you're on an exercise program
and we're all climbing up that mountain and we're all trying to make it to the peak.
And I hope everybody is able to do that and that's what I'm going to keep my eye on.
