Yesterday, I was having coffee with a new friend I met at the Gym over the weekend and her husband competed in Fitness competitions as well. She was telling me all of these fun tips to be aware of. Well, her and her husband are good friends with the owners of Armburst Gym, it is my dream to workout there (when I'm in primo shape), and I'm super excited to go with them, in the near future (hopefully in like 2 months, near future)...and to top it off, they know Mr. Olympia, Phillip Heath, too bad I had to kick a bad habit to the curb cause that's his idol.
Speaking of the bad habit, I was asked why I decided to do this...and in all honestly it was because of my breakup with the bad habit. I wanted to do something for myself and not do something for someone who didn't care, and this was perfect! My sister said I would be perfect for it, so that pushed me towards the YES line :D, and she keeps me there, sometimes I feel like she's my answer book to my questions... :p So I thank you 'bad habit' and Michelle :D
Today was a perfect day to describe the downer I sometimes feel after a day in the life of Monique. Work wasn't straining at all, but as soon as 5:00 rolled around, I was T-I-R-E-D. I knew what I had to do, W-O-R-K-O-U-T. When I got home, I turned on my Kruger and brewed myself my drink that gives me life, coffee :D, and 15 minutes later, I'm at the gym getting my cardio on!. Figured this quote was perfect for today....
-It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. You will need to make healthy decisions. It requires sacrifice. You will need to push your body to its war. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH it!

i love that quote...because there are so many temptations and it takes longer than we'd like, it will require dedication and will power to reach our goals. SO true! great job for working out last night. i was super tempted with delish pizza and brownies this weekend, but i said NO! i have goals and i want to get there! woo hoo!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great. Describes the struggles you need to go through in order to get to your health and fitness goals, but guess what, it's worth it!...I was soooo tried last night after my workout and getting the boys stuff ready for today, I passed out in the living room... lol ....good job on not eating the pizza and brownies, especially after your emotional weekend, thats's awesome. We should totally have our cheat meal on the same day next week, when we celebrate Mom's bday... we could have pizza and brownies...lol :p
