I did it. Four months today. Well actually, if you count the time before I “technically” started, it is actually six months. I swear, it has been so long that some days it feels like my eyes are about to bug out.
It’s all good though. I can do this.
I started off my week doing something I never thought I would do…get up freakishly early to go workout. Yes, every Monday morning I head to the gym before most people even wake up or brush their teeth. But it is worth it!
Don’t get me wrong though, it is not like I wake up with a pep in my step ready to greet the day…..noooooo. Not yet anyway. I look more like death warmed over.
However, upon my arrival at the gym I discovered two great reasons why I will never miss a workout appointment and would actually WANT to get up at the crack of dawn to go sweat for an hour. I have been enticed by candy….and I don’t mean M&M’s either. Yes, I said it…eye candy.
But don’t forget, I am doing this for you! You know…taking one for the team. It is my promise to you that I will do whatever it takes to show you how to live and lead a healthy life; and by golly if it means I have to look at hot guys for an hour every week, then I’ll do it. Oh how you twist my rubber arm! ;o)
Hey, whatever works, right? Any bets on how long I’ll last? LOL
After my hour workout with Ted (www.tedloofitness.com) on working at beefing up my badonkadonk, I felt alive again and ready to take on a whole new week. Walking home I no longer felt like death warmed over, but rather a sense of peace, joy and happiness wash over me. The endorphins from working out, the natural high that follows, and the abundance of energy after make it all worthwhile. It feels good to be back in the saddle and taking charge of my health.
Are you remembering to take care of yours?
