As of mid August I was blessed with the opportunity to move home, quit my full time salary job and finish my final education practicum in a near by community. Everyday I wake up at 5:45am. I get ready for my day, post in my support groups, check in with challengers, message coaches, and then head on my way! During my 45 min drive to my internship I take advantage of the opportunity TO LISTEN to personal development so I can grow as a person, wife, future mom, girlboss, coach and friend.
I then spend my next 7 hours completely unplugged from social media as I focus on my students! (with the exception of a couple minutes at lunch time)
At the end of the day I tidy up, do some last minute "to do's" and head home. ANOTHER 45 min!
By the time I get home I am tired. I want to just lay on the coach and NAP.
BUT I have goals --- I am working on working out for 100 days STRAIGHT! So far I am on day 37!! SO I don't put this off! I am not a morning person so my workouts have to wait until I get home!
BY 6:30 I am done working out. I am done making supper (as most of it is prepped on sunday) and my hubby and I are eating!
THEN it is time to shower. Now I am really tired. I could go to bed --- BUT I have planning to do, I have a business to run, and I have family and friends. ALL of these things are important to me and in the PAST would have been enough to make me STOP working out.
BUT --- if I am not healthy and happy in my body then what QUALITY of me will my loved ones see? See working out and eating right aren't ALWAYS about your body. So much of our mental and emotional health is tied to your physical well being. Not being active can cause stress levels to increase. It can cause anxiety, poor self image and a lack of self belief.
So for me --- my workouts ARE more than an image. THEY are my life.
