Love Yourself

Love the Effort .. Love Yourself

(I am sharing this not because I have reached my goal nor feel that I have come to my full potential because I have so much work yet ahead of me, but to share with those that feel like they are alone, too tired and just simply CAN’T … No, a year from now, you would have wished that you started TODAY)

~ Hi Everyone, just wanted to update you on the workout progress. This is my beloved trainer Shadow: My Mentor, my Guru, my Motivation, at times my Nemesis but always my Strength. He has led me down a successful path of finding my self worth. You know obtaining a physical goal is bigger than just the losing the weight.

For me, it was the monkey on my back that symbolized everything else within that I was struggling to let go of. Trust me, there were a couple of teary-eyed moments. Like when I did a full work out with a weighted vest (8lbs he says, but what to me seemed like EIGHTY) & finally taking it off and feeling like the world had been lifted off my shoulders. I cried because it was just that. I made it through the workout so now I can make it through any daily obstacle in my life – lighter of course. Or like the other time my reps got better and better with every circuit. Gosh, I found out that day that the resilience I had was unmatched for the fear I used to allow to take over.

The effort that one has to put in, has to be whole-hearted. It has to be RAW and completely primal. This is so that the outcome is in its PUREST form. No holds barred, right?! Lay it all out on the line and what one can achieve is limitless ~

Only those who risk going too far, can possibly find out how far one can go ~ T.S.Eliot
