Just thought I’d do a quick post…
I went to my favorite Power Pump class at the gym Saturday morning. It is such an awesome class! I work every muscle in my body to the MAX! It’s insane. Love it though….time well spent, that’s for sure!
The lady that teaches the class is 5 foot, nothin’ and I’m sure she doesn’t weigh more than 100 pounds. She is so tiny and buff and is probably pushin’ 50 or so! She really motivates me!
Anyway, while I was working out, I had some deep thoughts I thought I would share.
Nothing earth shattering, but just some things that made me think.
I realized we have all been given just one life, one body. What we choose to do with the time we’ve been given is up to us. I’m not just talkin’ “health”, but for the purposes of this blog, I will just focus on health.
Soooo, we are all just getting older….every day. The time will pass whether we want it to or not. So, if we choose to do nothing to improve our health (or worse, do things to diminish it), we will never improve.
So, a month (or year, or however long) from now, do you want to look back and say, “Awesome, I really worked hard and I can definitely feel and see the difference!! Yay!” Or, do you just want to be frustrated once again that you can’t seem to get a handle on your health, weight, sleep habits, etc.?
Ask yourself, “Does my life control me???” or “Am I controlling my life?” If you need to make changes, make them!!! If you mess up, that’s okay; in fact, it’s expected! Just get right back to work!
Make your life what YOU want it to be!
Make it happen.
Sacrifice as necessary.
You will never regret it!
There, those are some of the thoughts I had.
I need to constantly remind myself and recommit myself every day!!
I mess up all the time!
But, I think I’m slowly, but surely making progress.
Here’s a little motivational thingy I found on the web…
Love it, so true.
Hope you all are doing well and living life to the fullest!!
xoxo

I love the post Mel. Very inspirational!
I’m going to keep similar thoughts in mind. As I get older and look back on my life, I want to remember the great things I achieved, and not regret the great things I thought about doing but never did.
Thanks for all the support and positive thoughts. It helps!
