Getting yourself to execute your good ideas can be one of the hardest things for people to ever do, but once you make those initial movements in the right direction, and build up a strategy, it then becomes a simple matter of repetition…Eat, Train, Sleep, Repeat..those 3 essentials must be written into your daily agenda and then you just cross them off the list…When I feel a little “weak in my will-power”, I just move faster…I move faster to the gym, I move myself faster off to yoga, I plough through my meal prep, (as I’m doing right now) even though all I want to do is watch a movie with my guy after all the family commitments we had to meet. Still, my desire for success the rest of the week and the year overrides my short term desire to flake out on myself…I will not allow myself to be wasted talent, and when I start playing mind-games with myself, I just remind myself that all successful people face these challenges and we all have to overcome them…You know what I told myself today in the gym?  I kept reminding myself how much I LOVED the feeling of moving the weight, even though I was benching heavy and almost failing, I drove that bar up and didn’t lose momentum.  I figure all women with great muscle go through the same emotions and feelings, and you just have to learn to love it and love that sense of accomplishment that you did something brutal and incredible.  Nothing in the world can take that away from you.  There is nothing worse than feeling like you backslid on yourself…I promise myself every day that I will stay focused, balanced, and grateful for this turn-around in my life.  I used to be so sick and hard on myself in my twenties…no more!  I am loving life, I love the daily challenge of getting the job done, and every ounce of will-power I can build on will serve me well in all other aspects of my life in the long run….
Just some thoughts while I finish off a major food prep tonight!
