I am writing this and realizing it has been over a month since I posted. I have to apologize up front for that. Sometimes we have to make priorities and when the bottom line is a blog post or exercise then I am going to choose exercise at this point. And that got me to thinking isn’t that what life’s choices boil down to. When I talk to people about losing weight, getting healthy and getting the results I have gotten and continue to get you can not imagine the excuses I hear.

“I am too busy”

“I don’t have the money”

“That sounds hard”

You name it I have heard it and I really have to check my heart and pray for forgiveness. I do not know about you but I get tired of the excuses and sometimes flat out lies. Tell me your scared, I can handle that we can work though that together. Tell me what is really going on and we will figure out a plan but telling me an excuse equates to telling me it isn’t important enough. Think about the implications of that. You are telling me out loud that you don’t feel your health and by extension the happiness of those around you is worth you making it a priority. 

Henry Ford is quoted as saying “Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t, your right.” How true is this! Instead of giving excuses ask yourself what can I do to achieve this. How can we shift my priorities to get the result we are after? This can only be answered individually however we can work together and make a plan. Share with people and seek advice from those who have gone before you and already dealt with the same struggles and won. Surround yourself with winner in an attitude that your a winner.

I am not a runner! I was teased in school for my lack of running ability and running day made me dread class. I however have a goal! To run two miles regularly before Nathan comes back from Army training (somewhere around June of 2011) I have been building up endurance and walking then running then back to running. It is amazing what you find yourself capable of with the proper motivation. Fear of being left behind when Nathan comes back from boot camp and the knowledge that running really revs your metabolism have been the push I needed to commit to learning to run. It is amazing what the right motivation can do for you but before your gut reacts to this question really think about what your fire is. Your motavation needs to be a picture of something that realy gets your passion running. Then nothing can stop you.

Till tomorrow. Yours truly in health!
