Ok. So, these past few weeks have not been what I have expected. Although, I did have a great Holiday season, I was sick the whole entire time and was unable to train the way I wanted too. It has put in a mind set of confusion and sadness. I write this to you to show you how life can and does affect a fitness competitor,fitness model,etc....
I guess it has a bit to do with I was so on track right before the holidays then was derailed during, that trying to get back on without momentum is somewhat crippling me to move on....does that make sense? I am a Fitness Coach/Nutrition Consultant and love to help people achieve their very best. But, I feel if I don't let you guys in on the ugly side of training then I feel you guys will be misled into thinking it is always easy for us.
Well, I am happy to announce that it is NOT EASY!!!:O) In fact, It is so hard at times that I just want to cry for I feel like I am being such an em-poster to others and myself. Well, this is me telling you that right now I am struggling just to go to the gym( yeah that is right--the person that breaths the gym). But, that doesn't mean that I am not going to dust myself off and go anyways.
I will not let self-pity and self-doubt enter my mindset!! I will not let my body and how it feels(unless I cannot move because of some heinous sickness)dictate what my goals are!! I will not Let negative thoughts ruin the peace I have inside. I thank Jesus everyday for the ability to come to him and just download. I thank him every day for bringing people into my life who can encourage me and lift me up. I thank him every day for being so in the middle of my life that when moments like this happen he gives me an outlet to release the struggle inside. I am so blessed to have such an amazing friend in my life. God you are so good to me. Thank you.
Isn't it wonderful to be able to have sometime bigger than us to be able to go to in times of trouble. I encourage you my friends to reach inside yourself and find that something and let it guide you in the direction you should go. Let it help you through the hard times. I always say the only way to truly have a stellar outside is to have your inside at peace and in balance--that doesn't not just mean your physical inside but your spiritual inside as well. If your spiritual inside(your mind and thoughts) are off balance then your physical side will follow and become off balance.
It all works together. I call it the triple threat to optimal health and well being--mind, body, and spirt...with the spirit at the center. With that combo on our side what can't we do!!!!
As I write these words to you I am encouraged. I feel I can go on with the day know that My God has my back today and forever!!! My mantra! One day at a time, one workout at a time, one meal at a time, one small victory at a time...and for me today that is just merely to go to the gym and work it out!!!!!! Be blessed my friends and remember!! Stay fit, Always have fun, and Stay Focused!!!!
