I can do hard things

My department at work is starting a weight loss challenge next month. It will go on for 4 months and the winner gets $1,000! Can you believe it? I'm so excited for whoever wins (but I hope it's me)! My goals include losing 2 pant sizes and approximately 20 pounds (give or take based on muscle increase). Can I do it? Yes, I can! You know why? Because Donnie's blog post about running a 1/2 marathon inspired me when she said, "I CAN DO HARD THINGS". I like to repeat that to myself when I'm killing myself during lunges and suicides. It's totally true: I can do hard things!

If I win, I'm also giving myself a special treat: Betsy's haircut. I hope I look half as cute as she does with this 'do.
