You have a Choice

I have an entire gym 10 feet away from where i’m typing this

And there are plenty of days where trying to get a simple 20 minute workout in is the last thing I want to do.

you will have hard dayS

You can remove all of the perceived barriers you can imagine.

We are all human… and that’s okay.

Often times, it’s even appropriate to do something easier, walk away from the gym for the day, or even take a break from it for a period of time.

This is one choice that you have.

Somewhere, there is without a doubt a reality where you continue to push forward, to embrace the suck, and get it done.

If you can see that, you are already ahead of most. You have taken yourself out of the realm of unconscious ignorance and you’re giving yourself the grace of having a choice.

This choice is one of many, put don’t tell yourself you don’t have that choice.

For as long as I can remember

I’ve chosen to play it safe, and to do what I felt was appropriate. My body has felt great, i’ve progressed, but I want more. I want my body to look better, I want to be more proud of what i’ve become, and I want to continue to grow.

So last night I did what I felt was inappropriate.

I’ve decided to jog 2 miles every day (like a 13min pace, slow…)

After working 10 hours on my feet (i’m heavy, it sucks), I got home and was hit with the wall of “this is the last thing I want to do”.

It was 30 degrees at 9pm at night, my watch died, I procrastinated until dinner, and I chose to tell myself to do it.
