determination

You’ve got to get out of bed every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.

This morning I woke up feeling tired and feeling a bit defeated but I kept moving.  I didn’t give in and I could have, theres nothing wrong with that, right?  There’s that fine line between pushing thru and deciding to hang back.  For me I can’t stop.  When I got on that Precor today I wanted to get back off but I didn’t.  This is new for me.  It’s a different type of determination.  I am realizing we all have those things that come natural to us and then those things that pain us greatly like exercise or eating well or the idea of quitting smoking or whatever it is that you want to be on the other side of.  For me its to have exercise be a part of my life, like breathing.  Unfortunately it doesn’t come as natural.  But as I start my 6th week of committed exercise where I actually leave sweating, I am starting to see my mind change.  I am starting to feel the habit forming and it feels pretty amazing especially in the midst of that first mile where I want to quit but it’s just not an option.  It’s starting to spread into my life.  This idea of personal commitment is becoming something I want more of.  I want to feel good and look good.  I want to make the most of this body that I have been given.  I am so grateful that I have all my limbs and an able body, I want to use it.  So thank you for letting me share and thank you for whoever is reading my blog.  I hope you get something out of it that benefits your life in some way.
