The Fitness Struggle is Real.....

My fitness journey has always been a struggle. I don't enjoy working out.....that's pure honestly. I feel great when I do, but that doesn't make me like the process anymore. I am able to stay dedicated and focused for about 12 weeks, and then I slowly start to dwindle....and BOOM that's it, I give up and fall back to my unhealthy ways.

I want to be active, and fit, and put my clothes on and feel great, but once I have reached the point of giving up, it is really hard to get that motivation back. You would think when I was told my active, healthy dad passed away suddenly of a massive heart attack, I would get it together. Well I did, but in true fashion, I didn't stick with it. Why can't I just change my lifestyle and stick with it? Your guess is as good as mine. I can't possibly be the only person in the world with this problem. Let's do this together! I always look at the big picture, okay a year from now I want to be this, whatever "this" is in my mind. A YEAR!! That seems so far away, and I have never been able to commit to a year of any kind of healthy active lifestyle.

I have decided that blogging about my journey, my mistakes, and mishaps, the good bad and ugly will help me get over that 12 week hump. The days I want to give up and quite, I need to remember I made a commitment, to you, my followers and my family. Those who are going to support me, and make sure I don't give up.

I woke up this week and made a change. I thought this is it, now is my time. I am 31 years old, and time doesn't go backwards. If I don't get my ass in gear now, when will I? Cadence is 4, she watches everything I do. Today she said to me, "mommy, you are such a great exercise girl." How can that one sweet statement not be an eye opener. I, mommy, am a great exercise girl, and I better keep showing that to my girls. I started BBG, I took a spin class this morning, and I just signed up for Nancy Anderson fit. I am all in guys!

I will be sharing my journey weekly with you. My raw honest opinions on how I am doing. I would love for you guys to join me. We can keep each other motivated and accountable. Accountability is the key to success when it comes to health and fitness, for me at least! If you have other advice, here is the place to share! I look forward to taking this fitness journey with you all! We got this!
