In 2006, my mantra was "I don't need a pizza fix in 2006!". Has kept me off pizza since then (major binge food for me). I have not eaten commercial pizza since then, had healthy home made pizza one time.
So, my mantra for the next year as I prepare for IM AZ 2009 is this:
"I am a Triathlete; I am training for Ironman.
Food is my fuel, not my medication or lover.
I fuel my body - I don’t abuse it with food.
I love myself by eating healthy and am grateful I make that choice".
I am going to drill this into my thinking and meditate on it often.
I am also grateful for you all!

Gah! You are doing Ironman AZ one year too early!! {stomps foot} Oh well!!! You go and rock it, Duane!!! ANYTHING you set your mind to, bro!! ANYTHING!!
the grilled pizza almost doesn't count! :)
That's a great mantra! (Food is fuel reminds me of Finding Nemo's Bruce the Shark saying "Fish are friends, not food" which makes me smile. :D) Mantras are powerful things. I am a firm believer in them! (Amazing job on eliminating the pizza!)
I have taken your postive attitude and smacked my negative self-talk with it. I have mantras! Thanks Duane!!
positive is always the way sweetie.
:)
Love the new mantra. I might have to steal it and say it to myself from time to time as I lead up to CdA.
Love your mantra!!! Keep up the positive thoughts and the great work!
