"You Again?"

   Yeah thats how I feel every time I look in the mirror and I see something about myself that I do NOT like. Seriously, it is like the fat, that wrinkle, mole, hanging thingy, scar or whatever won't go away. It is only a couple weeks into the new year and what I wanted to happen did not really go right. The days I wanted to workout, I missed a few. Whats a couple extra MISSED miles really mean at the end of the year......

      Well, each mishap I make in the step to my healthier self, is a reflection to the imperfections I identify with. When I don't run, go to the gym, or each crappy foods, then I am reminded of that each time I look in the mirror and see something I don't like. Another moment of that "You Again?".

     This year, this month, this week is a different You Again!! Thats what I am going to say to myself every time I put on my running shoes. I feel like that is when I am at my best. Every little imperfection is not who I am! I will not identify myself with those things; When I am searching for the person I want to be in the mirror,  you know referring to my better self, to the person who gets up at 6am to go run 10 miles. I will say you again, to that person. Smile when I put my shoes in the gym bag to go after work, or when I don't hit the snooze button, when I eat salad instead of fries, or do 6 sets instead of 3. I will say, "You Again!". Not with a question, but with confirmation that this is who I am. This is who I will be.
