an eye opener
i’ve been out of the gym for about 3 weeks now with a back injury. the wife and i have been going out for walks daily and today we even played a little tennis. I went to the gym for the first time yesterday and felt really good while i was there. now it’s back to my usual routine. i knew it would be challenging so i tried to look for motivation to work out. who would have ever thought that i would encourage myself when i read my last blog post…..so i decided to post it again below!!! LET’S GET IT!!!!
you’re really doing a great job getting up at 4:30 every morning in order to get a good workout in. I must admit that i admire you for having the dedication and determination to push through all of the obstacles and excuses. besides, you could always say that you had a very long day at work, or you’re tired from having the baby with you ALL DAY, or blah blah blah….but not you!!! you have a goal in mind and you see the finish line. you have become painfully familiar with what it takes to travel the lonely road to greatness. your sacrifices inspire me to be a better me. But self, most of all, it is your relentless, ignorant pursuit of perfection that baffles me the most. I love you self, but i must tell you that you can never be perfect. maybe it’s in your best interest to put all of this working out foolishness aside and enjoy life instead…..c’mon, you could be drinking, eating junk food, and partying all night long. doesn’t that sound like the life you want. Self……haven’t you noticed. that has become the American way. there’s no need for you to punish the both of us by exercising that now extinct principal you like to call DISCIPLINE! take comfort in knowing that given the circumstances………………you NEVER stood a chance!!!!
Or you could
PROVE ME WRONG!!!!!!
til next time………
