The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off!

I felt really guilty for skipping kickboxing yesterday morning. I have had 4-5 hours of sleep the last couple of nights and this girl does not function well on the kind of sleep. I make stupid impulse choices. So I did not get up at 4:15. Well I did but only to reset the alarm. So I hurried home last night after work, put another coat of paint on my bedroom walls and then off I went to evening kickboxing. I deserved it. I am so close to seeing "onederland" that I owed it to myself to go. Trent went along and occasionally he will kick the bags a little but then go play, I was tickled to see him doing plank jabs with us! My 5 year old doing plank jabs!!!

I have been having a salt issue the last few days! I want anything salty! Chips, pickles, olives, cheese puffs AHHHH!! What is it about the salt?? I don't know really but maybe I need to drink more water? Hey it is worth a shot. I may spend more time peeing then at my desk but oh well!

Back up this morning for a 5am workout. After going for a week and a half to morning class and then doing it in the evening last night I realized my intensity is so much higher in the evening. I have to figure out a way to get the intensity in the morning. Morning workouts is what I have to do right now to make it fit in my schedule. Which brings me to what I want to mention today. You can't get what you never had if you keep doing what you've always done.

 

If you expect to see weight loss. If you expect to see toning. If you expect to see muscle building. If you expect to see a drop in body fat percentage...you can not expect these to change if you keep working out and eating as you have always done. You HAVE TO change something! Maybe it's the type of workout your doing. Maybe it's the food you are choosing to eat. Maybe its the frequency or intensity of a workout. You can NOT workout once or twice a week and expect to see a change. You can not eat at McDonald's three times a week and expect to see a change. You can not eat chips and pizza every night and expect to see a change. I can not tell you in general what you need to change because each person is different. What is it you need to change?

 

A workout is not convienent for anyone. There aren't always enough hours in the day. The kids have ball games, church activities, birthday parties, boy/gril scouts, the spouse has long hours, I have to work late, I have to work early, I have to clean the house, laundry is piled up, the windows have hand prints all over them, the cat puked on the floor, the dog ran off, one of our fish died, I have this, I have that. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING!!! This will NEVER change as long as your on this earth! There will always be something! How bad do you want it?

This may piss you off just by me saying this but you have to face the truth. The only thing getting in your way is you! How important are you to yourself? Are you going to sit back and do nothing? Are you going to put yourself on the back burner and let excuses take over? Face the truth. It is only you coming up with excuses. Face them, get over them and move forward!!

 Somebody else is doing what your doing and more. Time goes by weather you use it or not. What are you going to do? It's your choice. Mine will not be wasted!
