Here’s my most recent picture:

Yesterday, I seriously felt like crap. It’s my time of the month, my back hurt from shoveling my driveway twice, and I was just not a happy camper. My appointment wasn’t until later in the day, and about two hours before it, I decided I may cancel. I knew I’d be losing out not going, but the Advil wasn’t kicking in, I felt miserable, and exercising was the last thing on my mind.

….but I went anyway.

I sat there, and said to myself, you’ve made excuses your entire life. Now you’re 40 and fat. Excuses is how you got here. It’s one hour of your life, so get over there and workout, and what’s the worst thing to happen, I’ll feel a little worse for the wear?

Here’s the cool twist to the story, I ended up feeling better after I worked out. Go figure!

I just wanted to share this with you. It’s so easy to make an excuse. What’s hard is getting up and doing what you should be doing. So I did it, and in those moments, I’m proud of myself. I’ve spent 20 years having reasons WHY I couldn’t do something, and now I’m done with the excuses. It’s changed my entire attitude about what I can and can’t do. So if you’re making excuses, how many more years do you want to make excuses for? I wasted 20 years of my life making them, but I’m done with that. I go and get the workout that I need in, and my body says thank you, each and every time.
