There will undoubtedly come a time where your health throws you a curve. Since I started my exercise program of 6 days per week back in October, the most I've missed is 2 consecutive days. In fact, it makes me crazy thinking about not working out. This makes me want to truly laugh out loud because the better sense - my logical side- says 'it will all be ok'. Taking a few days off is not going to break me. But I'm so dedicated now that I can't imagine life without it. The morning routine, my headphones on and listening to podcasts fuels my mornings, followed by my exercise.
But can you believe I wasn't like this 6-8 months ago. I never could have maintained 6 days a week routine. I could barely pull 1 day and I would often find an excuse just for that one.
Isn't it amazing how our bodies want to go into homeostasis- it doesn't like to be awakened. But once it is, it's a case of 'get out of my way'.
It's hard getting started, but it's also hard being told to "stop". For those of you out there who maybe suffered an injury or an illness, or as me, got sidelined because of a colonoscopy, trust that the time can be used wisely to reflect on what you 'have' done up until now, the lives you've influenced including your own. I was blown away by how many of my clients said they were doing double workouts: one for them and one for the one I couldn't do . Now 'that' is one cool gesture. Isn't it?
Be grateful today and reflect.
