Whenever I am on Pinterest I always check out the Health and Fitness section. That's where I usually find quotes that are inspiring to me. I found this one a couple of days ago and really liked it.
I have a perfectionist personality. It is something I am trying really hard to manage. I have had to learn through this new journey, that it is a slow process. I am not going to be perfect, I'm not going to get a perfect body over the course of a few weeks. It takes time. Lots of time. And even after lots of time, my body will never be super model perfect. My body has been through a lot. I have endured three pregnancies and have more stripes (stretch marks) than a zebra! I have learned to look at my body as an instrument, not an ornament.
I sometimes get discouraged that I'm not losing weight fast enough, or that I still am not that physically strong. So when I saw this quote, it really spoke to me. I really need to work on looking at the big picture. I need to realize just how far I have come! If you had asked me 3 months ago to run three miles, I would have laughed. I have come so far. I have done things that I would have never thought myself capable of doing. I love pushing myself farther each time I run or workout. It gives me faith in how much further I can go.
