"Bring It On!"

I had a appointment Tuesday with my fabulous Harbor trainer, Teri and she said something quite funny, yet profound as we were talking about my recent physical health challenges. I told her that my doctor was concerned at a recent appointment when I was complaining that my left foot had been numb/tingling a bit. The doc had me go in for an MRI of my spine, and it showed that I have a slight narrowing in my cervical spine. (degenerative disc disease is the official name)

Well, I had just gotten this news prior to meeting with Teri, so I was pretty bummed and anxious about it. The more we talked though as I was cruisin' along on the treadmill, I realized that this is really just a bump in the road on my fitness journey. There are worse things to have to deal with; this is something that is quite common, and this is something I can adapt to. My mood lifted the more I walked and the more we talked. I came to the conclusion that nothing's gonna stop me from my goals, and then Teri yelled out "Bring it on!" We had a great laugh over it - (thanks Teri!) I will tackle this roadblock, just like any others that has come along. Like I keep sayin', deal with it...keep movin' forward...and keep my eyes on the prize!
