Showing up is Half the Battle

I am officially the first and only person to throw up during a work out for The Thinnest Winner. Thank God they didn't get that on tape. Really only my team knows about it, but it was embarrassing.

I shouldn't have felt so bad about it (I didn't puke on the floor or anything, I made it to the toilet) but I keep wondering if there was anything I could have done to prevent it. Probably not except staying home. That wasn't going to happen because I love my workout now--I wouldn't miss it for anything!

Ryan was really nice about it--he said I could have chosen to stay home because I felt nauseous, but I didn't. He said that more people should be as committed as I am and he believed I was going to the top.

I think it's an important lesson. I used to let every excuse stop me from reaching goals. I'm sick, I have a kid, I was in a car accident, I don't have enough time--EXCUSES. You know what? I don't have time for excuses right now. I don't want to have time for them again EVER. They're a waste of life:)
