Pushing Your Limits

Have you ever not wanted to do something and someone forced you to do it and you were thankful for it later? For example, my kids fight me on homework almost every night and I tell them that they have to do it. When the teacher tells them the next day how great they did, they feel great! Well, that is how I felt today. Today we were lying around the house and watching movies with the kids and I knew I had to workout. I kept putting it off and putting it off, but finally Stu (who is also my coach, partner) got my butt in gear and got me off the couch to go work out. Guess this goes back to my previous post, its great to have a partner on your journey.

During the workout there were numerous times I felt like quitting. I just wanted to go upstairs and sit back under my blanket. At this time I closed my eyes and envisioned myself in the bikini I want to wear this year. I envisioned the body that I want and I then opened my eyes and worked even harder.
