Stopping at third base adds no more runs than striking out.

I saw this quote and smiled. The words just made so much sense to me. One can put all kinds of effort into reaching a goal or getting close to a goal..but if you stop short of it....then all that has come before has been done in vain. Or if you get there and then strike out....where does that leave you.
I guess the game of losing weight, maintaining it and staying healthy means you never stop short. I think somewhere deep within I thought all my struggles would be over once I reached goal.. I guess I thought once I reached a fit me I would simply stay there, effortless...after all the struggle to get to goal was enough.
As the month's go by and I remain fit I realize it is because I never lose sight of that which I have now. Sometimes I stray.. but I come back and continue to try and be the healthiest that I can, but it is and will be a never ending struggle..
Don't get me wrong there are so many benefits to finally being a normal size, and healthy and fit enough to try and do anything I chose. I love wearing clothes that are stylish, I love being able to run....to play. I love the fact that I am no longer an embarrasment to my family ( they would never admit that I ever was...but I know...).
I have been doing very well on my plan since returning from Florida. I find at times I procrastinate... yesterday I was going to go and run at the gym at 5am..I finally got there at 830 pm....I guess that is a little bit of procrastinating...but the important part is that I went.. I really wasn't in the mood to, but I knew I needed to . The funny thing is on days like that when I finish I feel even better than I do when I just get up and go.
Just know that it is far from over once you have reached your goal, and the only way to keep your dream a reality is to work at it....don't ever let go...
