You Better Work

Fitness fascinates me. What the human body is capable of is quite incredible. I love to see people who are top athletes who have worked their butts off to get to the top. The amount of dedicatino and determination to get there is staggering. I am not on that level. Not even close.

But I am dedicated to my workouts and to my diet. It’s hard work, and I still after years of lifting have days I don’t want to go to the gym, what I really want is huge bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream. But it takes saying no to the bad and yes to the good, over and over and over. Sound annoying? Well it is sometimes.

But seeing your body transform into something else is a pretty awesome journey.

Don’t be discouraged regardless of where you are. I have come a long way but I still have a long way to go to hit my personal goals. I am constantly trying to discover new techniques, new diet tricks to reach new goals. Every year I set new fitness goals for myself. I’ve just about hit mine for this year and I’m excited to make new ones.

So do whatever it takes, whether lifting is your thing, running, swimming, biking, hiking, whatever it is, get out there and do it. And do it consistently. Don’t quit just because it starts getting hard. That’s when you need to grit your teeth and push yourself beyond your limits. You can do it.
