I have been thinking about this for awhile. losing weight freaking sucks and is hard. There are times where I wish my body would just release the weight. But...it comes down to what do you really want. And honestly, I haven't been as diligent with my eating as I should be. This is why I have a coach. And I have groups to help keep me accountable.
Losing weight is hard. And being overweight is hard and hurts and sucks. But I can either stick to what I know I should do or just settle for where I am at or the good chance that I gain weight and keep getting bigger. Which is not an option for me.
Recently, I have told a couple people that next month I am getting my personal training certificate. I keep thinking, how can they take me seriously when I look the way I do? Would I want to work with a trainer who was so far from their goals? I start to second guess myself and what the crap I am doing wrong, and get into that nasty downward cycle. Just before I started writing this, I had been mentally putting off my workout. Even as excited as I am to do a new program, I'm tired. It would be so nice to just skip it and rest. But it comes down to what do I really want?
Do I want to continue the way I am or do I need to stop making excuses and stick with my plans.
Guess what? As much as I was mentally putting off my workout I freaking did it. And once I felt myself start to go through the motions @chrisdowningfitness said "there's so much more in you". This was when there was about 5 minutes left and it freaking out a fire in me. I pushed harder. I fell on my butt in the crab crawls again but I didn't stop. I finished strong. And yes, I had 3 little mini cookies today but I am still on my way to reaching my goals because I refuse to give up. #i just have to work harder on being more diligent with my nutrition.
