I was just sitting here thinking about how busy we all are in this day and age. A lot of you have asked me how I manage to workout and handle all of my other responsibilities. Let me be the first to tell you: It ain’t easy. I miss workouts sometimes and don’t always eat like I’m suppose to. Still, it usually only takes me a few days to get back on track. You want to know how?

Honestly, part of the motivation comes from the fact that I’m helping others get into better shape. In order for me to keep motivating people, I feel like I have to stay in shape and not let myself fall back into bad habits. How am I suppose to help you if I’m not helping myself? Right?

Another motivator are all the things I can do now which I couldn’t at the same time last year. I can run down a field and not get winded halfway, play sports and last longer in a game, etc. My self-esteem is much higher than it was before, plus I’m getting hit on a lot more, LOL.

But seriously, your physical health plays an important part in your over well being. When I workout consistently, I keep a more positive frame of mind. That is a great feeling and something which I don’t want to lose by slipping back into my old ways.

So is it easy to resist the old temptations? Sometimes yes, other times not so much. But when I sit down and look at my life now vs. before my weight loss journey, then I come back to the realization that it was (and still is) worth every aching/sore muscle I’ve had and will have in the future.

You’ll stumble and fall down here and there, but as long as you get up and keep going you’ll get to where you want to be. Even if the progress is not as fast as you would like, just be patient and make sure you’re sticking to your workout plan as closely as possible.

Until next time, keep pushing play.
