Stop Saying You CAN'T

Doubts...insecurities...negative thoughts...we all have them. But you can't let those negative thoughts control you or hold you back from achieving your goals. And so many people do.

Your mental attitude is KEY, I can't stress that enough. Your mind is a powerful thing. If you think you can't do something, then you probably won't. If you keep saying, "I can't do this, I'll never lose weight, I'll never have the body I want", then that is most likely what will happen. You won't ever get the body you want because you keep telling yourself you never will!

It's amazing what you can acomplish if you just believe in yourself. It's so simple, yet SO true. Get rid of your doubts. Push away the negative thoughts. You can do whatever you set your mind to IF you really believe that you can do it and you want it bad enough.

Visualize yourself where you want to be/how you want to look and then committ to doing whatever it takes to get there. Don't even contemplate NOT getting there. Have it in your head that you WILL get there. NO matter WHAT. It's the only way you'll be successful.

Cange your mindset. Stop saying you can't do it. You CAN.

  1. I've learned the hard way... this is absolutely the truth.

    When I first started training, I would say to myself, "Train the mind and the body will follow."

    Well it did follow. I don't have to say that every day; but there are definitely times when I recall those words to get me to face a new physical challenge.
    Keep reminding us!

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea
People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm
