Have you ever heard the term “walk your talk”? I have and this week I’m gonna put those words into action. Having dreams are great but acting on them well that’s just power. It’s a power that you can’t understand until you feel it. The over whelming feeling that you are about to put into action something you have wanted to do so many times but never had the guts to just do it. Well this Saturday I’m gonna do something I never thought I would do, much less do it 3 years into my health journey. For many years even in the unhealthy years I wanted to do something like this. I would see marathons on TV and think I wish I could do those things. Now is my time!
As you all know I’ve added morning workouts to my gym routine. There are a hand full of women that are there and one of those ladies will kick your butt into shape. Everybody in the blog world knows her as SkinnyMeg. Check out her blog her story is inspiring. When we work out its very peaceful, I think maybe that is why I like to go and work out with them. Meg helps me with areas of my body I want to target and tells me what I need to correct. This is week 3 of working out with her and I already see a change in my body. The past few weeks I have heard Meg and a few of the other girls talking about The Dallas Climb. I had no idea what it was about nor did I want to ask for fear they would ask me if I was doing it. I knew that it involved a lot of steps. I stayed safe until this morning when Nicole looked me straight in the face and said are you going. I said let me think about it, I’ll let you know later this morning. It was all that was on my mind. I texted several times thanks for the invite but I’ll pass this time. I just couldn’t hit send. I had a conversation with myself as to why I couldn’t hit send and this is what I decided. I wanted to do it, if I said no I would never know if I could or couldn’t make it all the way to the top of the building. So I took the leap and sent one last text, I’m in! So this Saturday I’m gonna do the Dallas climb. I believe I’m ready for this after 3 years of working my butt off to get healthy. I might not be the fastest or the best athletic form but I’m sure I will finish.
When opportunities like this come up you have 2 choices. Sit back and watch or jump in with both feet. I’m gonna jump in and run with it just to see what’s at the end of this challenge. I’m sure that I will be sore, tired and maybe a bit disoriented by the time I’m half way but the power of trying is worth it. I’m excited to feel the steps beneath my feet and the sweat all over my body. It’s gonna be a very Blue Happy moment for me. I’ll blog on Monday to let you know what it was like at the top. Have a Blue Happy Tuesday.
