I 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
