67 days...

My friend commented on my facebook wall today.  All it said was "67 days".  I had many emotions about that number: shock, frustration, sadness, and motivation.  What had happened?  We planned a trip to Mexico in August.  It was meant as a goal trip to work on ourselves and have a treat at the end.  If all had gone right I would have been walking the beach in a bikini (which has been stored under my bed for the past 5 years).  As it stands now, I have lost around 10 lbs.  That's not enough to get me where I wanted to be in 67 days.  Where did the time go?  What have I been doing?  How did I lose my focus?  I vow, here and now, to re focus myself.  Many things have been going on in my life to put exercising on the back burner, but no more.  I have to focus on me.  I can't come 2nd, or 3rd, or 4th anymore.
I WILL stop looking at those next 67 days with upset and look at it with motivation.  I will still hope for a bikini.  I won't be upset if it doesn't happen, as long as I gave it my best effort.  I want to be healthy.  In shape.  Ready for whatever is about to be thrown at me.
