HAPPY NEW YEAR Teammates!Today let's all take a look forward. But not TOO far - we still have a big hurdle ahead of us in about a week.
But this morning I affirmed my new outlook on life by getting up and going to the gym and doing a workout on the dreadmill. But that wasn't just the hard part. See - I sometimes (depending on what I eat) suffer from a slight bout of GERD (acid reflux) - and this morning it woke me up.
But despite that feeling (which if you've never had is OH so wonderful) I went anyhow. And I coughed and gagged through my workout. But work out I did.
Because my health is of paramount importance to me this year. As is my team. My charity efforts. My family.
This year I resolve to do everything I can to be the best me possible. Not too broad, huh? I also resolve to allow myself to indulge when appropriate, and not think of it as "bad" - just as a "treat". For instance - new years eve ice cream. :) Not bad. Granted, my stomach is not happy today. But did it stop my workout? No sir! (Or ma'am!)
And how about you? What are YOU going to do for YOU this year?
And more importantly - what are YOU going to do for OTHERS this year?
Let's take Team Voice to the next level in 2009. Let's bring the happiness and magic to others! Let's commit to making a difference in the world!
Who's in?
MAIN STREET AWAITS!
You know I am all in. I to suffer from acid reflux and man I hate the days it acts up. I do have to say since I started running and exercising I have had less attacks and also I do not need to take my over the counter med. everyday. See you real soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for visiting my blog, which has been much neglected and I didn't even notice you visited until today (sorry..working on being a better blogger!)
At any rate, I know how you feel about indulgences and guilt. If I eat one Hershey's Kiss I feel guilty, and I shouldn't because I know probably 95% of the time I am eating healthy. One little treat isn't going to negate that.
Hang in there and best of luck. I can't believe the day is almost here for you!!
