Can you see beyond the fog.....


Last week I posted a bit about INTENTNESS and I ask.....what are your thoughts on intentness? tell me how you are being intent.. I loved what you had to say about INTENTNESS!!

What a great post!! Lets see, I am intent on never going back to what I was nor letting life drag me back there. I am intent on always facing forward and not letting the pot holes suck me down. I am intent on being, every day, better then I was the day before. I am intent on being the best me not only for me but to me.

I am intent on following my goal to be healthier. I am intent on identifying the triggers that keep me from obtaining my goal.

Intentness is huge in trying to become fit. It requires that we remain focused and committed to this one purpose, not ignoring other needs but incorporating them into the fitworld (rather than the other way around.)

Hmmm, intentness. This week I will accomplish the goals I set forth for myself!

Thank you all for your great comments! I was so Inspired by them!! I would love to hear from more of you if you get a chance to leave a comment.

This week I have been thinking about the "fog" in life. The things that come up in life that seem to fog up your goals and make it hard to see the light. As I've said before I have a hard time seeing the ending goal of my weight loss. It seems so far away....I can't even imagine what it will be like because I have never been there. Sometimes I feel as if I can't reach the goal because I can't see it. I'm not sure what it looks like. Or how to get there.
Right now I have been focusing on small goals of losing 5 pounds at a time and that is helping me "see" where I'm going. Five pounds is not so far off in the fog that I can't see it. I can see 5 pounds on the scale and I can feel it in the way my clothes fit. This is so much more attainable to me. It is still hard to get to where I am going and takes focus but I can "see" more clearly to losing 5 pounds. Eventually the small goals will add up to a big goal some day and I will be able to see more clearly where I am going. I had a foggy week this last week not knowing where I was going at all (you can read the post before this one to understand why I say that).

Do you have a clear view of your goal or are you in a fog? If you have a clear view, how did you get there? What are some ways you use to "see" through the fog? Do you set small goals? reward yourself? (I want to give myself rewards but haven't figured out a good system yet) Put your fog lights on and leave me a comment, I love hearing from all of you, let me know where you are in the fog and how you cope with it.

Good luck getting through your fog. I think breaking it up into 5 pound marks is a great idea! My fog comes and goes. I try to focus on 10 pound marks.

I haven't even tried to think of my final goal! I'm just trying to take it 5-10 pounds at a time like you.
My problem is that I get so busy or stressed out, that I 'forget' about eating healthy. I have had a lot of stress put on me over the last few weeks, and in trying to get everything done and please everyone else, I stopped taking care of myself. I guess that would be my 'fog'.

I really appreciated your post. I wish I had been in on the last one. It was also very helpful. Thank you so much.

I have answered some of the questions you ask on the post that I wrote on my blog for today. If you would care to visit me, you can see where I am coming from. I feel as though I have just come out of the "fog". now I can see more clearer where I am heading. I am not sure if you have my blog address or not, it is: http://willorway.blogspot.com

Thanks again for your post. connie from texas

I think to get through the fog, you have to realize you are in one first and ask yourself why. When you can come up with each little answer one at a time, there is always a way out of the fog and into the sun. Make sure that you know are a worthy of the time you are giving yourself to find the healthy path ;)
