The results aren’t happening fast enough

Nursing incredibly untimely injuries is a huge challenge to staying the course.

When we have too many disappointments for too long, the devil’s temptation to just say, “It’s not worth it, I quit” becomes much more appealing.

It’s too hard.

It’s taking too long.

The results aren’t happening fast enough.

I’m tired of the pain and disappointment.

Blah, blah, blah.

Right?

How bad do we want it?

And what exactly do we want?

We’re thinking lifetime plan, right?

What if the driving goal was a lifetime of health and wellness, and bathing suit season?

The never ending battle with things that make us want to quit exercising

Exercise may take an unplanned backseat today. Being down a parent, early morning cable service call, and an early morning school rehearsal have all come together to a head.

And so it goes.

Heck yes it is challenging and simply easier to quit

Heck yes it is challenging and simply easier to quit. Duh.

Without a million reasons to not quit we are doomed to quit.

One foot in front of the other, day after day, after day.

It is difficult.

It is repetitive.

It is boring.

It is glorious.

It is rewarding.

It demonstrates personal integrity.

And yet quitting will always be easier.
