Happy Late Day 3.
Saw this in November and thought it was post-worthy. These are photos taken by Howard Schatz of women athletes in their prime and at the top of their individual sports. Read the full article here. It is fascinating to me how many differences there are. When we think about our goals and what we want to be or look like it is important to remember two things: what are we trying to accomplish and where are we starting from. As we analyze our individual strengths and weaknesses we can use those to become our individual best. With my personal physique it would be crazy of me to try to be a rhythmic gymnast. With my personal strengths I am more suited for long distance and endurance activities.
And, while my dreamy-dream is to be a super-athlete, the main thing I have always tried to accomplish is being a healthy child-bearer, child-raiser, wife, and church-member. And these are the hardest and most challenging pursuits of all. Which is all the more reason to step it up. Be realistic: we don't have a personal trainer, dietitian, team, and host of medical advisers, and all the fitness equipment and gear we could possibly need. But we do have the internet. And friends & family and plenty of resources. And me. So no excuses, either.
So take a gander, oooh & aaahhhh, & think about what's possible, don't get discouraged, dream, set goals, and keep on working at it. We'll get there...eventually!
Always remember:
Be your fabulous self!
Just a healthier version!
