State of Mind

With three weeks left of training for my meet on June 8th it is time to focus on a number of things. Rest, nutrition and building a plan of action for the meet. The meet I did in March, my blood sugars were running real high all day. This time around, I am going to disconnect from the insulin pump and give myself a shot of Lantus to cover me for 24 hours. I will have to give shots for highs with my humalog. I haven't done this in almost ten years. I can't believe I have been using my pump for so long.

The thing about the meet that has been a big hurdle are the weights to choose to lift. I feel good about my opening selections, but not so sure for my second and third attempts. I guess I will just go by feel.

Here is something my dad emailed to me today. He doesn't know the great timing of it!

State of Mind

IF YOU THINK YOU ARE BEATEN, YOU ARE.

IF YOU THINK YOU DARE NOT, YOU DON’T.

IF YOU LIKE TO WIN BUT THINK YOU CAN’T,

IT’S ALMOST A CINCH YOU WON’T.

IF YOU THINK YOU’LL LOSE, YOUR LOST.

FOR OUT IN THE WORLD WE FIND

SUCCESS BEGINS WITH A FELLOWS WILL.

IT’S ALL IN THE STATE OF MIND.

IF YOU THINK YOU ARE OUT CLASSED, YOU ARE.

YOU’VE GOT TO THINK HIGH TO RISE.

YOU’VE GOT TO BE SURE OF YOURSELF BEFORE 

YOU CAN EVER WIN A PRIZE.

LIFE’S BATTLES DON’T ALWAYS GO

TO THE STRONGER OR FASTER MAN.

BUT SOONER OR LATER, THE MAN WHO WINS IS THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN
