Crash! (Trying to squeeze my tush between two shelves and knocking something over)
Boom! (Falling on my tush when doing aerobics *Pretty sure the neighbors thought it was an earthquake)
Thwack! (Hitting myself in the face with the thera-band... OUCH)
ERGH! (Pushing though, pushing through, pushing... passing out)
Oh if only it were this simple:
But it's not... The reality is that it takes HARD WORK (YIKES!) It's kinda like expecting to breathe without oxygen. It's not going to work very well... So yesterday - I DID NOT want to work out... so I didn't... And I actually woke up more sore than I have in a while (lesson learned) - Trust me I am not (and most likely will never be) the next triathlete, but I will be true to me. And sometimes when you are fighting for something it means you are fighting against yourself. That little rebellious brat that hides inside of us just waiting to rear its stubborn head. So this morning I had to give it a good talking too:
Me: "Ok, we're on Day 21 - Yesterday was not a day to give up."
Brat: "I don't care, I hate exercise and I MISS CHOCOLATE!!!"
Me: "I miss chocolate too but I miss me more... so let's get back on track"
Brat: "You can't make me... I will do what I want - who cares anyway"
Me: "There are a lot of people care but even if it was just me... that's enough... so get up and get to it"
Brat: "Fine but I don't have to like it!!!"
And that just about sums it up... I don't have to like it... I just have to do it. I hate taking vitamins but they are an important part of my health so I take them anyway... there are some days (keeping it real) that I may not like work very much, but I like and NEED my paycheck so I come in and give my best. And I am learning... trust me... I am learning that the more I apply myself, the more I do it with a smile in spite of the situation, the more the rest of me falls into line like it should. So yes, sometimes,
I FAKE IT TIL I MAKE IT.
Until my dreams line up with my reality... I will not give up!!! So let's go!! Let's Step! Let's move!!! Let's Live!!!
“I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God.”
Psalm 139:14
So right now I am focusing on the wonderfully and 86ing the fearfully ;) No, seriously, each of us are amazing if we just open our eyes and look... See us for who we are... Love us for how He made us.
MONDAY BLUES CHALLENGE: Comment Below (Or email me) 1 Amazing thing you like about yourself... Can't wait to see what you have to say!!!
Make it or fake it, I like it! word of wisdom...“God may choose to use us in big ways or small ways, but we are just a tool in his hand to be used how he wishes.” Putting ourselves out there may look small in the eyes of man, but trust me, it’s big in the eyes of God. And that’s all that matters.
ReplyDelete1 amazing thing I like about myself? maybe the fact that I have a heart, that I care too much, even when it hurts me I still don't let it stop me. <3
