A week after the new year I started eating right and going to the gym 6 days a week. That was last week. I was full of energy and couldn't wait to start fighting for my health! Starting this week was a little different. I woke up this morning sore, and the only motivation I had was to stay in bed for the rest of the morning.
I asked M (my husband) to give me some words of encouragement and his response was "Just do it.". It struck me. For so many years I just heard it as the Nike slogan, and never really put any more thought into it or what "it" was. Today I got it. It was just what I needed to hear, and it was so simple!
As I got dressed, my body ached and I had to remind myself "Just do it". I continued doing this in my head until I got to the gym and through my workout. It helped me to keep going through the hour of strength training and cardio sets that Skip had put together for me. Nearing the end of the session I was so out of breath and sweating like all the delicious butter I had eaten to get me to this weight was literally melting off if me. I asked for one more set. When skip shouted the beautiful words "Session's over!", my first thought was:Just did it! And it felt good.
