Unfortunately, that is far from true. Although I now can say that I actually love working out, I definitely struggle each day to get myself going. At least for 15 minutes, while I tell myself, "OK, it is time to exercise" I fight my mental weaknesses. It is SOOO easy to just take a break for a day or two. But, I force myself whether I'm moaning and groaning throughout the whole routine or jumping for joy after receiving the boost of energy that physical activity brings.
You know, my life is soooo busy that I often find myself missing meals or scrambling to find a decent and affordable healthy meal at a grocery store or fast food establishment. I wish I had the time to prepare meals ahead of time, but I don't. I'm struggling as it is to make time to workout.
You may be asking, "why don't you fall off like many have?" Or, "why does it seem to come easier for you?" Well, I made a decision before I started this program. I decided that this was a way for me to measure my own self worth. To show myself how much I truly valued and appreciated my life! I know I am worth it! I know I deserve it and so do you! You deserve to live a life that breaths fitness and health. Where you no longer need to wake up in the middle of the night because you can't breath. Where you no longer have the high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, or any other ailments that come with an unhealthy lifestyle.
Everyday I tell myself, "I deserve this. I deserve to feel good and to be proud of myself." I wake up grateful everyday that I made it through the rigorous routines that we, Power 90 users, go through. Grateful that I chose to eat a fat free yogurt instead of a bowl of chocolate ice cream.
Celebrate the small accomplishments! Build upon them and before you know it, you will have exceeded your goals. Take each moment as they come, its a battle we face everyday, but most importantly: BRING IT!
