    Watching them come across the finish line.....

    I have been reading all the threads that started in January on staying AF for the month, or 30 days. I feel like I am at the Olympics right now! All the runners are coming down the line. I am standing on the side of the track in a crowd of cheering fans, yelling, "GO, GO, COME ON, YOU CAN DO IT!" My voice is hoarse, but I continue to yell anyway.

    I know you all have today to get through yet, but I want you to know that watching you all come across that finish line is going to be very exciting!!!! I can't express enough how motivating it is. I want to be one of you in February.

      I was at the starting gate, but I tripped on my shoelaces and fell down

        dexterhead - don't worry, you can try again. you should get some of those shoes with the velcro.

          Dexterhead...that's funny! I also like Croft's suggestion of Velcro shoes!

          The vision of you tripping over your laces left me envisioning myself taking off from the starting gate and spilling my drink. I guess it's a good analysis - you just can't cross this finish line with a drink in your hand! ha ha

              SoCal - "spilling your drink at the starting gate" lol
              That reminds me of when I recommended to dexterhead that she dance like her cat whenever she felt compelled to drink. That way she would spill her drink all over the place. Not sure she took my advice.

                    Congratulations to all who are crossing the finish line...you are truly an inspiration to the rest of us.

                    I'd like to also congratulate anyone who set the goal and met it even partially as that, to me, is also considered a success, perhaps on a smaller scale. Remember where you "were", where you "are" and where you "will be".

                    Congrats to everyone who is better now than they were!!!
                    Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find joy in overcoming obstacles (Helen Keller)

                          Its really nice to have goals and people to help us get there, as was the case with going AF to the end of the month.

                          Not to sound like a douche but honestly, for me anyway, i don't feel like I'll cross the finish line till my dying day. Only then will all the points be tallied and a winner (me or AL) will be determined.

                          Don't get me wrong I'm not taking away from anyone who is meeting short term goals....if anything it reminds me that little slip ups along the way can definatley be overcome in the long run. It also helps keep me from getting cocky because I'm doing well at present. That can be overcome as well if I let my gaurd down..

                            I think life is a series of accomplishments. If you are runner, you never just run one race and then stop satisfied with your accomplishment. You keep taking on new challenges.

                            believe - I hear what you are saying - the struggle feels endless. Congrats on the progress you have made so far!!!
