Baby steps

Was working out this afternoon and realized something I really need to learn to do is take baby steps.  Most everything I have done in life has come easily and I have been known to skip steps in life.  Well lately things haven't come so easily and with that I am needing to learn to be patient.   Today I weighed before my workout on lunch and got pissed because I hadn't lost any weight since I weighed in last Monday.  I was mad because if I hadn't of drank both nights this past weekend I wouldnt be in this situation.  I was mad because the scale is not my friend.  Then I started thinking it took me how long to put this weight on.  Its not going to come off all over night.  I have done good with what I have lost this year and I have a lot more to go.  So instead of worry what the evil devil scale says im going to focus on what my clothes tell me.  I may not have lost weight but I have moved weight around.  One of these days I will get on the scale and a big number is going to fall off.  I just have to try and stay positive.  The baby steps theme can be applied to other parts of my life.  I am notorious for jumping from dating to serious relationship over night.  I am going to focus on baby steps there too.  I truly think that is why most of my past relationships have failed is they moved to fast.  So from now on Im going to slow down.  So my goal for the rest of life is to learn to be patient!

 

 

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,
or listened to rain slapping the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight,
or gazed at the sun fading into the night?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.


Do you run through each day on the fly,
when you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,
with the next hundred chores running through your head?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.


Ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow,
and in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch, let a friendship die,
'cause you never had time to call and say hi?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.


When you run so fast to get somewhere,
you miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,
it's like an unopened gift thrown away.

Life isn't a race, so take it slower,
hear the music before your song is over
