| I need to do this again |
I know that there has been a lot going on lately and I ignored you for quite some time. I know that I let stress and fear take over my life and pushed you away. I am sorry. I need you to come back. I am ready to change and become the woman I am supposed to be. What can I do to make you return?

| And I need to flip tires! |

| Rappelling down a building! |
There was a time that I wouldn't have even considered skipping the gym or a run. Sometimes I would spend extra hours at the gym. I loved how I felt. I miss that feeling. I had that feeling because you were such a strong presence in my life.
You taught me that I could do whatever I put my mind to. You pushed me to do a half marathon, to rappel down a building, to join CrossFit, to try mud runs, and to even do the Tough Mudder. I am ready! Come back to me!
Please consider returning! I am ready to take on this healthy lifestyle and lead by example. I know what to do, but without you, I cannot seem to get it started.

| I did Tough Mudder! |

DeleteI'm right there with you, my motivation to do anything at all left me for a few months and I was beginning to think it wasn't coming back, but I do believe it's finally on it's way to being back full steam!
ReplyDeleteIf you need someone to rappel down a building with you, let me know. As long as you don't mind rappelling with someone shaking so bad they can probably feel it inside the building...
We need to do that this year! It is in August! You will be surprised that you can do it! I was! Yes let's push each other!!!
DeleteNO EXCUSES is right girlie! You can totally do this! I find motivation through motivating OTHERS - that accountability makes me work on days I just want to Sleep!!

DeleteCan you share some? I have never felt excited/motivated to exercise. Somehow all the endorphins are gone by the time I get home and dread my next workout every single time.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya lately! There is a change when you do it regularly. I remember and miss that feeling... so less tired too!
DeleteYou are worth it & you deserve it! :) Be kind to yourself too - we all have issues that sometimes sideline us.. :) Reach out if you need to!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jody! I WILL beat this! :) xxoo
DeleteAMEN sister! I'm starting with my mind and going from there!
ReplyDeleteWell we all know that that is the place that hurts us every time right??? That darned mind! Keep me updated!
DeleteThis is great! I think the biggest problem regarding weight loss is that people don't eat enough which results in metabolic damage which then results in people spending the rest of there lives trying to get in to shape. So many people get in shape from eating dangerously low amounts of calories and excessive amounts of cardio and then then they gain it all back and can't get it off again.
ReplyDeleteThanks

Thank you for typing up this post, motivation is something I frequently struggle with as well. Motivation comes and goes but its a question how bad do you want it? Keep up the good work!
