I was just thinking about the last time I did this contest and why I was so successful then and why I’m not so successfully this time.  Of course I came up with some thoughts, but that stuff is boring to talk about.  I’m sick of hearing my own excuses.  But then I thought about one woman who dropped out last time and I remember not understanding how she could just give up.  Now I understand what motivated her to make that decision.  When things are rough, it’s hard to pull out of that.  I do not want to give up and won’t.  I just have to remind myself that I am capable and can do this.
