This is an original oil painting I created in class and keep over our mantel. Art skill requires work and this helps remind me that AND weight lifting is a skill, too.

You are not a single choice. Your success is a series of positive moves in the right direction.

I will remember this. I think I can, I think I can...

My choices = changes, excellence, growth and success. Even if it takes a year. I'm on the path.

Doing it to feel awesome daily.

Though the weight lifting raises my spirits more than anything these days. Love to realize I do have some power in this world.

On the darkest days, it is harder, but every time I go to the gym, the possibilities are endless. :-)

Or met a naysayer who is fit and fab? You know, "Oh, don't do that. You'll look like a man." LOL. Fools.
