Day 25 - Never Put An Age Limit On Your Dreams!

I have been watching the Olympics and what I find interesting about the athletes is their persistent and goal oriented attitudes. Dara Torres was interviewed and she made the comment "Never Put An Age Limit On Your Dreams". Michael Phelps said during an interview "Never let anyone tell you cannot do something". I think most importantly, never believe when someone tell you that you cannot do something. I usually try to prove them wrong!At a young age, Michael Phelps was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and instead of his mother taking the negative path and giving him drugs to mask his disorder (I say mask because the drugs do not cure), she put him in swimming. I am sure there are thousands of parents who have a "doom and gloom" attitude when told that their child have ADHD.I was watching gymnastics and Alicia Sacramone fell off the Balance Beam right at the beginning of her routine, and I was impressed when she got back up on the Beam and then did a flawless routine. I cannot imagine falling with millions of people watching me. Now that takes courage.What I find compelling is that these athletes Do Not Give Up!

I generally do not watch TV when I workout because I find it distracts me and prevents me from focusing on my workouts. The only time I do watch TV while working out is when it is a sporting event. I find watching sports while working out causes me to push myself more.

Only 25 days until the big day and I feel good. Unfortunately I have to increase my cardio again and now I have to do cardio 5 days a week. Yikes! I am going to have to do cardio in the morning and weights in the evening. Wish me luck, I don't like waking up early but I will have to, only 25 days so I can do it! Maybe, I'll finally become an early bird and wake up early in the mornings. I know my mother will laugh at that one!
