Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
– Henry Ford

For a captain of industry, Henry Ford was remarkably pithy.  This week’s comment makes a lot of sense to me though.  Goals are critical to our success – without them, our entire day can seem like an obstacle.  With them, though, each day that passes is a step closer to reaching that goal.

Observations on the Week

• Not only can I see the veins on the back of my hand, but they’re starting to surface.  Haven’t seen that in many years.
• I ran TWICE this week – First Run, and Second Run.  Second run was even better – didn’t stop at all for that mile.
• Adding protein to each meal to keep my metabolism running higher seems to be working – 5 pounds this week, and the only real differences were running and shifting when I eat protein. (Running a mile is supposed to be 117 calories, so that alone wouldn’t account for the additional weight loss)
