So today is weigh-in day....I stayed the same this week and I'm not too upset but, more so, it has given me a new strength to look at what I am doing in my life, what makes a difference, and to be content with what life brings my way as long as I know I am still tying to be healthy and not giving up. My life has been out of order the last few weeks but I believe it will be getting back is some sort of order soon. I am trying to take care of myself and get healed up so I can get back with more exercise, I have realized how important exercise is and what a large part it plays in losing weight. I am on light activity for a couple more weeks but will be back on track soon!
As you know I have been posting about INTENTNESS. Here are a few more thoughts about intentness that I want to share with you.
Intentness can mean determination, it can mean persistence, it can mean tenacity or perseverance.
Intentness is the ability to resist temptation and stay on course, to concentrate on your objective with determination and resolve. Impatience is wanting too much too soon. Intentness doesn't involve wanting something. It involves doing something often for a very long time, possibly a lifetime.
The road to real achievement is usually bumpy and long, but you do not give up. You may have setbacks. You may have to start over. You may have to change your methods. You may have to go around, or over, or under on your path. You may have to back up and start again. But you do not quit. You stay the course. To do this....you must have INTENTNESS.
Be persistent. Be determined. Be tenacious. Be completely determined to reach your goal, what every it may be. That's intentness. If you stay intent and your ability warrants it, you will eventually reach the top of the mountain that you are tying to climb.
Thinking about intentness has inspired me and I have wanted to share it with you. I'm not sure where I am with intentness yet.
I feel like I am in a fog right now and searching for the path, fumbling along the way. I do believe I have seen the warning signs out there that lead me of the path but most of the time I choose to ignore them. Somehow thinking I know better, not trusting that the warning is real, only to fall in to a deeper fog and way off the path headed in a different direction. I'm trying to get my fog lights hooked up and running so I can see a little clearer down the path! Being intent on reaching my small goals is helping me see where I want to be even though the path is still foggy.
I hope you are all being intent on reaching your goal....no matter what it is big or small.....let me know where you are in the fog and what you are being intent on. Hope every one is having a great week......and remember.....never give up!

I think I know what you mean about intentness. I know that I am in a place that I have never been before with my weight loss. I am seeing the big picture now not just a smaller size. A better quality of life, a stronger body...I never thought about that stuff all the times before. Before it was vanity that motivated me. I love your post. It was so inspiring. You will make a difference in someone's day today. I know you have made a difference in mine.
test....I didn't see my comment
I think that this blog could be a history of my weight loss life. But my eyes stay on the goal and I have no doubt that I will make it. The fog may make it harder at times but I still see with my inner eye what my goal is and so I keep trying. Hope you are getting better and are feeling well soon. connie from Texas
