Sacrifices
Hell-O cute and perky people!!!
It is a beautiful day today. Know why? Because I’m alive to enjoy it.
I’ve already done my lifting for today. I did it at 4:00 this morning. Yes, you read me! FOUR!!!
Sometimes, you do what you have to do.
I’ve had a lot of writing projects going on lately, and it’s really been eating into my gym time.
So, I had some choices to make. Either give up the writing or find a way to fit my gym time in.
And I wanted them both that bad. I want the writing badly enough to use my gym time. I want my gym time badly enough to use my sleep time!
What’s that? It’s called a sacrifice, people. Do you hear me? A sacrifice!
And it is worth it. But isn’t anything worth doing worth sacrificing for?
That junk food I used to eat…it wasn’t worth sacrificing for. So, I gave it up.
That sitting on the couch watching TV… it wasn’t worth sacrificing for either. Gave that up too.
Going out to eat junk food with my friends…wasn’t worth the gym time it cost me or the feeling of lethargy and fatigue that always lasted into the next day.
Life should be filled with things worth sacrificing for.
Anything else is just too ordinary…and you are too fabulous to be ordinary!

You make such a great point. Lots of us on BB make sacrifices for our gym time, but we often forget to apply that same philosophy to other goals in our life. It took me months for the writing-gym correlation to click. Now I’m currently trying to figure out where I need to snip my time to make it work.

Well, that is extremely admirable. I could not give up my sleep. Otherwise, I would just get sick and not be good for anything. So I just give up my perfectly clean house. It is a huge sacrifice, but somebody has to do it. lol…

thanks for posting this. Results require hard work and sacrifice. And too many times, we sacrifice for the wrong things.

Beautiful!! Loved reading that! I totally get the trade off mentality and making sure what you chose to trade is worthy of the sacrifice!
