Excuses.

I didn’t get enough sleep.

This bed is too warm.

I am too comfortable.

I will go tomorrow.

I will just eat really good today.

I will start again on the right foot next week.

No, I am not going, I am just simply too tired and I need that extra 20 minutes that I probably won’t even use to sleep…

All the excuses.

Not a damn one of them are anything good enough to keep me from getting my lazy butt up and getting to the gym.

I thought there for just a minute that they had my brain warped.

I must say I am glad that I got up.

I am glad that I made the decision to go because I know how much better I feel sitting here right now.

I feel happier.

I feel lighter.

I feel like I have way more energy.

I am not sad or upset with myself.

I am not depressed.

All those negative things I most likely would have experienced if I had not gotten up and went.

Look, I totally get it…

I have three girls, a husband, a house, and a full-time job.

I have friends whom I love dearly and a family that matters more to me than life itself.

I have responsibilities and obligations.

I have realized though that I cannot excel at any of those things if I don’t take care of myself, too.

One day at a time...  Baby steps…  But we are all capable of things we never realized.

What works for me may not work for you but there is a way to make it work and you just have to figure out your own personal journey.
