What do we do when we don’t know what to do?

We do what we normally do.

  • ask someone
  • Google it
  • procrastinate
  • do nothing

A million reasons to make today another day we don’t exercise.

Which then makes tomorrow even easier to do nothing when we don’t know how to stay motivated.

Being fearful of exercise, wellness, and good health is a prison

Gut instinct doesn’t require any reading of educational books

 

Being fearful of exercise, wellness, and good health is a prison.

Fear is a prison.

We don’t belong in jail.

The only way out is to feel we deserve wellness, and that we are capable of creating it.

We do deserve it.

We are capable.

The long way is the short cut.

School door sign
Let us learn that not quitting is it’s own reward

 

Twice in 10 days doesn’t sound extraordinary. Should it? Exercising twice in 10 days almost seems poor.

Setting a personal record in a core exercise and then repeating it 10 days later is extraordinary.

Not quitting rewards us when we least expect it.

Rewards are not the goal.

Not quitting is the goal.

And not quitting is it’s own reward.

Read this for solace in our struggles and successes, as they ebb and flow

we win some, we lose some

 

Read this for solace in our struggles and successes, as they ebb and flow. It feels like win some lose some doesn’t it?

Dropped below 160 two days in a row. This morning back up to 161.5. Darn it!

And yet, four days ago, set a personal record for parallel bar plank at 40 seconds.

There was a time the plank couldn’t be held for one second.

There was a time when anything over 155.0 felt overweight.

We’re in this for our lifetime right? Setbacks are temporary.
