So, a few weeks ago I got this youtube link that has gone viral in the triathlete community…. and then of course there is a running version, a cycling version… ..and you guessed it – “Sh*t wives say”, “Sh*t anybody says”, and of course “Sh*t nobody says”…. hundreds more – I mean where does it end? There has been talk about starting a “Sh*t people say who live in the South Bay”. It’s pretty funny. I wanted to see if non-triathletes saw any humor in it, and, sure enough, my sister thought it was hilarious. Then she asked me how many things I have said from the video. ”Ha! NONE” I responded quickly…. then… “I don’t think any”… then I got to thinking…. (as my husband chuckled in the background)… maybe I should watch it again.
OK. So I will admit I counted 5. And, let me tell you, I will think twice before saying any of them again. Now, of course some of them are warranted (ha! here I go already in denial)… But here is my “result”:
1) ”Have you tried TRX yet?” – I TEACH TRX I should be saying that (right? right?).
2) ”I think I need a massage” – Again, warranted? Who doesn’t say that?
3) ”Cycling is my weak sport” (when asked – ONLY when asked)
4) And just recently, while trying to decide what races to do in 2012 I’ve been caught saying “that race is sold out” numerous times. They ARE sold out.
5) Finally, because it is my “off season”, I am “developing a base”. Say no more.
It’s still funny. It could be even better because most of will read it and be in denial. I say embrace it. I mean, if you can’t laugh at yourself who can? Even if you don’t think these are funny, I guarantee one out there will resinate with you.
OK, I will go back to wearing my compression socks now.
Yes, 2012. It’s not a review of 2011, it’s about 2012. Start fresh. I say “year in review” because I think it’s good to see yourself at the end of the year. What have you accomplished? Did you reach your goals? Are you a better person? Did you have fun? Think about it. Really think about what you want to accomplish this year. Some of you have made resolutions (supposedly 85% of Americans), some don’t even bother. It’s a no wonder why!! According to surveys, only 8 percent of Americans successfully achieve their New Year’s resolutions so 92% are not kept. 80 percent of those who make New Year resolutions have failed by Jan. 20. Really? How’s that for motivation?
I am already writing this past the point where 80% of people fail. Where do you fall in the mix? Still going, still motivated I hope!? Why not be the 8% this year?
Here is my advice. Don’t just have a resolution. Write it down. Share it with others. Then – make an action plan of how you are going to get there. Writing your goals demonstrates your accountability to yourself. If you say “my resolution is to lose weight” there is no definition to it. If you say “I want to lose 10 pounds by June 1st by going to spin class 3x a week” – now that has more meat in it (no pun intended). It becomes more of a goal than a wish.
Do you have a wish or a goal? Redefine it into a goal. Tell me about it. Then get out there and achieve it. Believe in yourself and MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! Cheers to a beautiful, successful 2012.
