Being that you are reading this, you’re probably into working out and share a great love of the fitness lifestyle.. So like me, I’m sure you hear/get certain comments ALL the time that you are just really tired of hearing.. Below are a few of mine..

-“I use to look like you.. When I was younger.”  First thing that comes to my mind.. What changed?!?!  If you use to look like me, why wouldn’t you want to maintain that and continue looking awesome.. Okay, okay.. So you had a baby.. well… that was 3 years ago.. You’ve had plenty of time to change things around.. there are AMAZING women out there that have had children and you wouldn’t even be able to tell.. They didn’t make excuses, so why should you! 

-“I wish I had time to go to the gym”…. I understand some people are busy.. But there is ALWAYS time for it if you really want to do it.. You will make time for it…. You have time to go home and sit on your butt watching TV right.. How about taking a walk after dinner.. Just getting up and doing SOMETHING is better than sitting there wishing… I chose to get up and go to the gym at 3am, so that I have plenty of time to workout, pack my lunch and get ready and be at work by 6am… I make time for it…  If you have children, take them to the park.. Have them ride there bike while you go for a walk.. Just stop being lazy!

-“I wish I was as dedicated/motivated as you”…I admit there are days were I just want to sleep in, stay home do NOTHING.. But I get up anyways.. I know I will feel much better once I do.. But why can’t you be as dedicated as me?!?!  It’s a mental thing.. You see it as this unattainable task.. Like its SOOO exhausting.. So you defeat yourself before you even try..  I just don’t give myself an option.. Just do it.. Because when I’m standing there looking in the mirror and I’m not 100% satisfied with what I see, I only have myself to blame.. It wasn’t my boyfriend sitting there eating chips on the couch.. No it was ME because I couldn’t resist and had to stick my hand in the bag… You just have to want it bad enough and the motivation and dedication will follow.. I also have pictures of awesome bodies everywhere.. I have them at work on my walls, on my phone, on the fridge.. Fitness magazines literally everywhere in my house!  So I’m not perfect.. every now and then I still need me a pick me up.. So I go online and look at my favorite physiques… Before you know it I’m putting on my gym clothes and heading out the door cause I cant wait!
