why wait

[janet]

I was recently watching an episode of The Biggest Loser. Normally I don't agree with some of the shows tatics but there was a comment by one of the past contestants that hit home. He said that he was tired of waiting for that day when he was thin enough or strong enough. He had recently lost a substantial amount of weight but still wasn't what society would call fit. He had for many years sat on the couch and watched ironman competitions on television. He finally convinced himself to give it a try and started to train. By competition day he still didn't look like the rest of the competitors but he went ahead and started the swim. It took him just slightly more than 17hrs to finish all three legs of the race which meant that he had been disqualified. But you have got to give the guy credit, what guts to even attempt such a feat. I think this will be my new mantra - WHY WAIT!
