Day 3- knowing I could do better

One of the motivations to workout recently shared with me was: “I hate looking in the mirror knowing I could do better.”

Today as I think about these words, I feel a connection to the drive within me that this creates.  There is truth to this…I KNOW I can do better.  This is where the guilt and shame play a factor.  I have not been ALL in.  I know I COULD do better.  

To live a life in accordance with my values and desires is living a good life!

Laying my head down on my pillow at the end of the day knowing I gave my all…knowing I did my best, is an amazingly invigorating feeling!  I WANT to feel this!

Allan often encourages me to reflect on the concept: If people on the outside looked in on my life actions, would they know what matters to me most?  (Not his exact words…but you get the idea…).  Not yet…but SOON!

Thirty Seconds to Mars- Get Up Kid

*Today was challenging.  My lack of patience already kicked in.  I’ve been dedicated ALL week…where’s the progress?  What’s the point of all this work if it’s not going to change how I feel?  

Get up kid…

I remember hearing it said ‘getting to the gym is half the battle’.  “C’mon girl…commit to showing up for 5 mins and then you’re free to leave”- I said to myself.  Once I stepped into the gym, motivation found its way to me..grateful for that quiet voice today. 

A quick little late night bike ride back home to process my day, and I’m done.  I can feel proud of my efforts today.
