The Journey is Just Beginning

Over the years I have been on varying levels of health. As time passes, work becomes more stressful, and life becomes more challenging, some of us (prime offender right here), use those as excuses or place them on a higher priority than the most basic benefit we are given as able-bodied humans....HEALTH. Many people are not able to enjoy the simplest tasks in life such as getting out of bed. This year more than ever I had to re-prioritize my goals, find the motivation that I once had, and remind myself that life is much too short to take it for granted. Having lost many family members to health related issues such as cancer and heart disease, I don't take this lightly. Sure, I should be fit knowing that fact but I have been guilty of defeating myself and becoming unhappy through complacency. This Journey could not have come at a better time. I have a surge of energy, motivation, and excitement as I am committing to reach my goals, not just for the next 60 days but for life. The past two days have lifted my spirits. Eating healthy, pushing myself through an intense yet satisfying workout, and doing this along side of friends and new acquaintances has me looking forward to the next 58 days and the accomplishments I can make. I am working towards a new ME, putting myself FIRST, and making sure I remember that nothing is impossible!
