When the going gets tough…..

So it’s over 100 degrees here in Missouri and this girl doesn’t want to even try to get used to it. It’s basically miserable and an excuse to not workout, right? OK, so maybe not but it’s been mine lately…..ironically, in my mind, it was too hot long before this heat wave. I tend to get home at night and feel exhausted from work and just want to sit around watching TV and basically doing nothing. Guess that type of thinking doesn’t get your results.

I have a great mentor who’s been where I am and I see my future self in her. What a great combo….I love talking to her and feel special that she takes the time out of her new, busy life to talk to me and give advise. It’s amazing how someone believing in you can make such a difference. I’m truly thankful for her…..

She understands that I just don’t want to work out some days and I shouldn’t feel guilty about it. She always says "you shouldn’t sell yourself short of what you could be. Don’t let yourself get in the way of a better future….get up and DO something about it. It’s time to start loving yourself enough to change the things you hate about yourself!" Great points to ponder and take to heart…..

No matter what I’m blessed…at least I have a chance to change things. So here’s the motivation I needed to….get going!

"Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it."
…..now it’s time to start moving…..with no excuses…..
