So D sent me a video from a cross training guru...it was images of people working their asses off to get in shape...and a guy voice over talking about the motivation to do it. The thing that stuck out to me was the reference to being EXHAUSTED and it being a positive connotation. Exhausted is a state I am used to, but it's not positive. It comes from being under rested and over fed on processed junk and running myself ragged. I hate the word exhausted because it is a statement of something that HAPPENS to me, that I am a victim of.
It's a new paradigm to look at EXHAUSTED as a goal. I don't know if I am ready to go there yet, but I kinda like the way it sounds. I'm exploring this in my mind, turning it over and examining it and trying to figure out how it will feel...to be EXHAUSTED from caring for myself, from doing something beneficial...from leaving it all on the treadmill or track or wherever.
Tonight is my first results weigh in. I had a pretty good week food wise, at least relatively. I'm excited to see what I accomplished. Maybe this coming week, I will try to get EXHAUSTED at least one time.
