You can when YOU are ready

I hate when people say “if I can do it, you can do it”. I always think, how could they possibly know what I can do and if I even want to. I LOVED working out with my dad as a teenager but somewhere along the road of wife and motherhood very quickly after, I forgot how much I LOVED exercising. Was it the time with my dad or the high from all those endorphins or both. My guess both but nevertheless I didn’t keep up that lifestyle. Now, I’m paying for it as my 40 year old body looks like an overinflated version of 25 year old me with multiple chins and saggy jowls. I saw it coming in the mirror and on the scale but being the world’s best procrastinator I figured Monday I would worry about it or on the first of the month. Maybe after Christmas, New Years resolution , ohhh Valentines Day, oops Easter. You get the point. It was never the right time FOR ME! A few months ago I prayed God would give me the motivation I needed to get healthier. I prayed as I cleaned the house and went into my bedroom to fold laundry. I sat on the bed and it collapsed right onto to floor. I imagine God laughing. Not the hysterical laughter from my family but the little chuckle of “be careful what you ask for” laughter. I looked up, nodded to him and scheduled a try it for free day at Orange Theory Fitness. After 4 months I’m still going. It wasn’t a Monday or the beginning of the month and the holiday season was fast approaching. I didn’t care. It was MY TIME. THANK YOU GOD!
