Keep going. Life gets in the way. Things get disheveled. Believe me I know. I moved businesses and am working in the middle of a construction zone for goodness sake! With all the work that needs to be done there, it's easy to brush aside the exercise, and find excuses on why I can't work out. Yes I go through the same struggles you do. It's important that no matter what you still make your health a priority. As we get deeper into the holiday season, I want you to really make that a focus. Stay true to what your goals are. Dig in, even when it's tough and we have a million things to do. We got this! Strength:

It's been a crazy time with construction, but so many things are happening so quickly. It's so exciting to see things getting built, and I can not wait for the finished product. The original gym was only 800 square feet, below is a picture of that gym. You're basically looking at half of the gym in that shot. We've come a long way and in a year or two, we will be laughing and joking about how crazy it was to be doing the workouts in construction in the cold. Thanks so much for being patient. It gets a little better every day. 11-13-19 Workout

What kind of script or story are you running in your mind? Is it a story of empowerment or disempowerment? Is it a story that serves you well or does it create negativity within you? Does your story create joy in your life or discourse? The cool thing is your thoughts are not you, you are the person watching your thoughts, so at any moment you can decide whether that thought is serving you or not. At that time, you can completely flip the script. You get to choose. That's the awesome thing about being human, we always have a choice. What will your choose today? 11-7-19 Workout

Do something... The key to success is to first get started. Do something, anything. Nothing happens until you do something. We see this all the time, people stop getting results or fail to get results due to lack of activity. Many spend a lot of time waiting and hoping for motivation, but in reality, starting is what creates the motivation. Get moving, start eating healthy, even if it's one small step, any progress is better than no progress. If you've fallen off, get back going, make a movement towards progress.

One year ago this month, I walked through the doors at CrossFit Bartlett, and my life was forever changed. On that day, I was miserable. I felt awful about myself. I didn't find myself attractive, and I referred to myself as "the fat friend". On Enlistment Day, I did not want Justin or Krystal to even look at me, because I felt like they were going to find me disgusting and assume I was a lazy person who made excuses for being overweight. That is how bad I felt about myself. I didn't even want people to look at me.
Before I started my journey at this gym, I had tried everything and my weight was up and down for years. I tried weight watchers, I ordered multiple as seen on TV quick fixes, I joined gyms, I tried Couch to 5k, I tried not eating, I relied on medicine, and I even did a few other things I am too embarrassed to mention. Nothing worked.
I started to believe that I was living in a body I was meant to have, and during one point in my life, I completely gave up. It wasn't worth it anymore. I did everything society said I should do, and I still failed.
The first 6 weeks during my journey, I was
Later, I joined the nutrition program and got my eating under control. It is now a year later, and I cannot believe who I am today. I show up and put in the work, but if it were not for the staff, I would have not been successful. These people push you, support you, and educate you. They pave the way for the person you want to be.
My life has been enriched by this program. I no longer let the scale control my happiness, and I no longer say negative things about myself. I love myself fully for the first time in my life. When I decided to put myself first and to make my health a priority, everything changed, and I became a better friend and wife.
At the beginning of my journey, people would say, "I don't even know who you are anymore", and this would make me uncomfortable. When people say it now, I smile and say, "me either". Hearing those words is the best thing in the world.
