I haven't lost as many pounds with this challenge as I had hoped but my mind-set has improved tremendously. As I was doing my 3 miler on the treadmill on Saturday I wanted to stop quite a few times. I kept looking at - OMG I will be doing 13 miles in June and that was too overwhelming. So I kept repeating to myself "Failure is NOT an option. Failure is NOT an option." And I finished. For me, failure is not an option. Bad week? What-EVER. I am sooo over beating myself up for it. Again, great post! xo I love, love, love this!!!!

I don't think this post could have come at a better time for me. Once week I'm succeeding, the next I'm reaching failure. The important thing is I know what I'm doing wrong! I'm just have a hard time, NOT doing those things I'm doing wrong. Of course, I'm never going anywhere but where I am (with my weight) if I don't get off my ass and quit hanging out in failure :P YOU ROCK, April.

I hate the word "failure" although I think my weigh-in this week might fall into that category, lmao!!!!! Anyhoo, I flt like you were speaking to me (and spying on me through my computer- SCARY!). Can't undo what I have done, I can only change what I am doing now. April, you are SO smart and I love this post.

I love this post - I have a horrendous fear of failure, and it's something I've been trying to face. Reading this has helped a lot! Thank you so much!
