#Fightforit




Its almost NEW YEARS!!!  It makes me SO excited to set goals for the NEW YEAR.   But I didnt always feel that way....

New Years used to overwhlem me.....I would set goals...then not keep them.  And GIVE UP.

In fact..the biggest CHANGE in my life happened on a random day.   I was 6 weeks post partum with my 4th baby.  I had 40 lbs of baby weight to lose.  I was TOTALLY EXHAUSTED...and wondering how I was EVER going to keep up with my life.  My husband was in graduate school...I had to go back to working nights at the hospital...I was OVERWHELMED.  I was DEPRESSED and I was MISERABLE.

That day in desperation...I prayed.  In my heart swelled the answer.  YOU GET TO CHOOSE.  I could etiher give in and not get out of bed....or I could CHOSE to move forward.  I could CHOOSE to FIGHT for MYSELF.  I alone COULD CHOOSE.  I could CHOOSE to change.

So I did.  I bought the INSANITY workout that day.  And I commited to myself that would DO IT.

Then came the day I started the program....... I cried through the first workout.  It was HARD.  But even more...I was AFRAID.  I was a afraid to go backwards....I was a afraid of feeling sad and trapped in my life when I had SO MUCH to LIVE and be GRATEFUL FOR.

So I made a choice to PUSH PLAY EVERYDAY. 

I CHOSE to define myself by not what I was THEN
....or even how I FELT in the moment
...but WHAT I WAS CHOOSING TO DO...to BECOME.

Humans....we have an INNER desire to FIGHT.  Sometimes it gets burried in baby weight, or an eating disorder, or a marriage struggle.  Sometimes that desire to fight is SO SMALL...but its lives.  And when we FEED IT with our  daily CHOICES.   IT GROWS.  And we become STRONGER...and HAPPIER...and a BETTER VERSION OF OURSELVES.


The best lesson I ever learned from working out
.....THAT I AM WORTH FIGHTING FOR.


Its NEVER easy.

Sometimes I FAIL.

But I will not stop fighting. .....EVER

It all boils down to a CHOICE.  What will YOU CHOOSE.  Are you READY TO FIGHT for YOURSELF??

NO one can do it for you.  YOU must rise up and MAKE THE CHANGE.  YOU must CHOOSE DAILY to #FIGHTFORIT

I Workout for.......



worked out today....at 2 pm. It took me an hour ....to get through my 40 minutes of planned workout!!! (INSANTY Max 30 and a little added strength circuit ) 

I didn't workout Christmas Eve or Christmas ......and I was hell bent determined to workout today.  

Why?!!

One reason.....
I do it for me.  
For years thought doing anything for ME was selfish.  A noble self sacrifing trait right?!!

Wrong!!!!  

I workout because it makes ME HAPPY
I workout because it makes ME feel strong, and calm, and energetic
I workout because when I do I am a better wife, mom, and person

I went though periods of my life when I worked out  to be skinny.  I starved myself, made myself throw up, obsessed out every pound, and about perfection. 

And you know what??!! Why would I do that?!! Why would I treat myself like that. 

Perception of perfection.

I wanted to be perfect.  I felt so much pressure to be there for everyone.  To lift everyone..help everyone...that it destroyed ME!!

Truth...you can't help anyone if you're s mess!!

Thank God for my husband and for God helping me see that  ...I am worth it.  I am a wonderful, beautiful, powerful person....just like I am!!!!!

So I just am!!!

And I am ok.

I gain and loose weight.

I miss a workout here and there...I eat treats here and there.

But I workout and eat healthy almost everyday...and I always will

Because I do it for ME!!!
And I am worth it!!  

I'm not perfect.  I'm a work in progress!  

But the trick is....to love yourself right where you are!!!!

Be a Progressionist ....not a perfectionist 


XOXO
