Motivation for Fitness

Today’s challenge (is very late! I’m sorry, but I spent the day in Boston with a friend from Brazil) revolves around our cultural obsession with success.

I want you to try something that you know you will fail at.

Something you have always sucked at. Maybe you love to do it, but you know you are just terrible at it so you stopped trying.

I want you to do it anyway. Maybe it’s drawing, or singing, or playing guitar… whatever it is… do it. Try it. Fail miserably at it, but let yourself enjoy it while you do.

You don’t have to be the best to try your best. You are worthy of all your endeavors, no matter if you excel at them.

Their called runners because they don’t play.

Their race is not a game. And there are no opponents.

The only opponent a runner has their self.

And there’s no other opponent harder to beat.

Restraint. I currently have none. Damn you malted waffles with whipped cream and fresh fruit! DAMN YOU!!!!

I regret nothing!!!!

In case you ever wondered, weighing yourself after you run and poop that thing that girls supposedly don’t do, is like cheating. 

The happy center in my brain needs to put on a blind fold while the logical portion of my brain scolds me for thinking it was a good plan… I will only be disappointed on Monday if I do this to myself. (Item of note: I sweat like a damn professional boxer when I run. I literally shook out my tank top after my run and sweat droplets flung everywhere.)
