After 55 weeks of Physical Therapy, 2 surgeries, countless complications I am finished. Yesterday I fired my PT or did she fire me? Either way we determined that whatever we thought was best just led us down another path, probably the wrong path. We decided it was time to give up on our approach and just see where nature takes us. It’s a bittersweet time. Having a professional partner urging you forward and not letting you give up is huge. I know that from the challenge groups I run. I also know that there is a time when you have to give in and accept that the old gray mare ain’t what she used to be. I did 10 Minute Trainer Yoga today. Tony Horton kicked my ass. I don’t have the strength or flexibility I did a year ago and it’s frustrating to start over from the very beginning. I’ve had to accept that I’m not where I once was. I have to accept where I am right now and I will improve but I may never get to where I was. That doesn’t mean that I won’t try that I won’t work hard it just is adjusting my reality. Starting today I am starting over from the very beginning. I have more advantages now than I did in 2012. I have more knowledge of fitness, more knowledge of my body, a great support system and a determination to be my very best. Maybe not the very best I’ve ever been but the very best that is possible for me. I’ll still be better than if I just gave in and gave up and accepted this as how it has to be.
