Adina’s Cute & Perky Blog!

In case some of you missed it, I was asked by the Editor and Chief of FitnessRXmag.com to keep a featured Blog about weight loss. 

So…while this one is for motivation (I hope!!), that one is for weight loss support.

So, I thought I would show you what I’m posting up over there today.  Since it is a football story, I thought my guys might like it!

Speaking of guys….WELCOME Adam’s mom!!!  Isn’t it funny how we forget we all have real names and not just screen names?!  When she said Adam, I was like who?!

Oh…and did you see we had a rare addition to our Cute and Perky Breakfast Club yesterday?  A MAN who will ask for directions!  Way to go MadFun!  WOO HOO!!!

But anyway….here it is!!

*********************************

We’re talking about EXCITEMENT this week.  Something you’ve got to find to achieve weight loss success.

Let me take you back.  Twenty years back.  To my senior year homecoming  game.

We won very few games that season.  And as luck would have it, our homecoming game was against a team that was undefeated.  FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.

UGH!!

So the game started.  And we quickly fell behind.

The crowd was uninspired, as we saw no hope.  I mean, come on!   THREE YEARS UNDEFEATED.

But there was this one guy who saw it differently.  And sometimes, that’s all it takes.

As it turns out, this guy was a college cheerleader in visiting relatives.  And he was not content with the lack of excitement in the stadium.

And so he did something about it.

He started where he was.  He stood up and started yelling.  And as he got louder, the people around him joined in.

He didn’t stay where he was.  He moved over a few rows and got some more people worked up.

But he didn’t forget the first group.  He kept running back to them too.

And before I knew it, he was on the sidelines…firing up the guys on the field.

And our little stadium was as loud as I’ve EVER heard it.

And y’all…we won that game!

We beat the unbeatable team…by one point.

And twenty years later that game ball still sits in our school trophy case.  Dead center.  And that game is still referred to as THE Dangerfield game.

Excitement can lead to actions that you don’t think are even possible.

I want you to get excited about the journey you are on….because you are going to find that same excitement and beat what you think is unbeatable!

It is in you.  I know it is.

Until tomorrow,
Adina
