Yesterday wasn't the best day for in my quest for weight loss. I stayed hungry all day and make a concious effort to snack healthfully. I also hurt my calf muscle climbing the stairs. I don't think it's much more than a charlie horse or just a muscle strain. I didn't go to the gym so that I could give my calf time to rest and heal a bit. I elevated it and put an ice pack on it with an ace wrap. I read a quote from a book last night and I would like to reprint it here. I think alot of people will be able to relate to this. It certainly puts my fight into perspective.
"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take it's place. If I quit,however, it lasts forever. That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with? The temporary pain or the constant reminder of failure? Facing up to that question and finding a way to go on is the real reward, better than any trophy."
Lance Armstrong-It's Not About the Bike
I think that about sums it up.
