Know your WHY!

Today I have really been thinking about something "deep". As a Beachbody coach, I am always talking about knowing your "why" and sometimes people don't know what that means. So, here I am to explain it to you and tell you all about MY WHY!

So everyone is going to have a different definition of what their "why" might be. It might be that you want to lose those extra 5 pounds before your wedding or a friend's wedding, or that you want to be able to keep up with your kids better and run around with them, or maybe that you want to get back into your one size smaller jeans....Any of this sound familiar? Maybe you just want to feel better in your own skin? That was me. That is my why. I wanted to match my outward appearance to the person that I know is inside of me. I wanted to show everyone that the person I am inside who is loving and caring and giving, supportive, encouraging and a good friend and now...a good COACH. So, I set off on my fitness journey to match those two things up. And now, I am on a bigger journey with no end in sight, to help as many people that I can on their own journeys. I won't say that I am done working on ME because I still have a ways to go, but I feel better about me now. I feel like the inside ME, matches the outside...better. Reading personal development books like The Slight Edge keep the inside ME on track and doing the workouts and drinking Shakeology, keep the outside ME on track.

One thing to note is, coaches fall off the wagon too! We aren't perfect! Sometimes we have to start back at the beginning, the basics to ground ourselves again. I know for me as soon as I saw the # on the scale go down I felt a little invincible and like my journey was over and I could NOW, FINALLY eat and drink whatever I wanted...... UMMMMMMM  NOT. THE. CASE. That my friends is called LAZINESS! So what do we do? What should you do? You GET. UP. and GET. MOVING. that is what you do. You stop making excuses, you confront your demons. You WORKOUT. Because that is how progress is made.

Because one bad meal won't make you fat, and one good one won't make you skinny. Same goes with working out, skipping one won't put you back where you started but compounded over a few days, weeks, months...You better believe it will! So.... thanks for reading my blog as always and feel free to leave me some love, some comments etc. Have a great night!
