I'm on this quest you see...and it is a tough one. I'm on a pursuit of ultimate fitness, health, and athleticism. With those 3 elements come a plethora of bonuses such as happiness, motivation, and energy just to name a few.
Since 2009, I have experimented off and on with CrossFit. I didn't join a gym right away because of the fees and instead, investigated the popular new fitness craze and made my own work outs. I ate the best I could but failed constantly. I just LOVED pizza, cheeseburgers and beer WAY to much!! Haha. Well, December 2011 I made the leap and joined a local gym here in Oak Harbor. I have never regretted the decision.
So..once I got that down and worked out 3 times a week, I was starting to see some crazy awesome results. Increases in stamina, energy, and a clear mind even! Then I was introduced to my second photo above, Advocare. It's a line of supplement products designed for energy, overall health, and optimal strength. Guess what I did? Began what's known as a 24-Day Challenge!
Let me tell you...the challenge + working out = AMAZING things. I was skeptical at first but shit, I lost 5 lbs and a pant size in less than 10 days. To be honest, I didn't work out but 2 times cause in those 10 days cause I broke my toe. How awesome is that? And the bonus? You can EAT!!!! This isn't your average, water and lemon juice diet. This is a deal where you eat 6 times a day and STILL lose weight.
Anyways, long story short. I feel awesome. I was thinking about it today, just doing normal day off stuff. Cleaning, prepping some meals, playing on FB...playing the guitar...the whole time feeling just awesome about life!
It took me awhile to get committed to it. It took me awhile to understand how to really use my day and do things I want to do and how to mix that into things I didn't want to do. Also, how to have fun doing whatever it is I didn't want to do. Haha. I typically go in spurts with motivation and "making the most" of my day...but with my new goals athletically and physically, and really taking charge of it like I did when I was kid trying to get a scholarship, I am motivated EVERY day to do SOMETHING. Your idea of a great day and my idea of a well used great day are going to be completely different and that is ok. Every one has a different opinion!! But as long as at the end of the day you can honestly say with a smile, "Man, today was a good day!" then you won! Hell, yesterday my idea of a great day was not doing a DAMN thing!!!
All I'm trying to say, is that if you are on the fence about taking charge of something in your life, or you don't think you have time, or whatever the excuse, I just want you to know that you CAN at ANY moment take charge. Even if you just start off with taking charge of eating something in the morning EVERY morning, or you take charge with taking a walk every day, or maybe its an emotional thing. Maybe you are too quiet and need to speak up more in situations where your opinion is needed! JUST DO IT! ;) I bet you $100, you've never heard anyone say they regretting trying something (unless its a type of food. That "trying" situation can go bad sometimes. haha)...just some food for thought. ;)
