Encouraging Results
Encouragement can come from a good many places, but my favorite is results. This week has been a good one for me as far as visible, if small, results go. To start with, I was out at a park feeding the ducks with my wife and son and I spotted a bit of playground equipment that I suspected would work to try to do some pull ups. I hadn't tried doing a pull up in almost a year, and the last attempt was rather disheartening. While I didn't quite manage a full pull up this weekend, I came awful close, and suspect that if I keep at it over the next little while I might be able to break that barrier in short order. I have been considering putting a pull up bar in the garage since that near victory.
The other encouraging result that I noticed this week was the recognition that I'm using the last hole in my 44" waist size belt, with room to spare. That noted, I wandered out and quickly tried on a few belts and left the store with a 40" waist size belt that should do well for me at present, even if I have to let it out a couple notches because I lost control at the buffet.
What results do you see that encourage you to stay on track?
