The reason I went to Chicago was for my dad's weightlifting competition. While we were there they had a ton of different t-shirts and hoodies with different sayings. I ended up buying one that had this quote on it:
I picked this one because it is the complete truth. Every single day I have to make a decision to "show up and train hard." Sometimes it is extremely difficult to make that decision.
Somedays I want to be lazy and do nothing.
Somedays I would rather eat a pint of ice cream than do another squat or push-up.
Somedays I would just like to give up.
But I don't. Every single day I show up. Not only physically, but mentally. I don't want to be the person I was before. I want to be strong, I want to be healthy, I want to be a better me. It's hard. It can really suck. But it is so rewarding! I have never felt better! I have never felt in more control of my life. I feel awesome, and because of those feelings, I always make the decision to show up the next day. To try harder than the day before, to push myself more.

Yesterday I complained that I had to run on the treadmill because it was too hot and windy, but I actually ended up running and doing my workout with my man. It about killed him. I was laughing. It was funny because my husband is actually pretty physically fit and I was killing him. I loved it. Every single minute of it. At the end we sat on the floor dripping sweat and he looked at me and told me I was an inspiration. It was great! I love my man. :)
Today's W.O.D is not going to be fun. I'm already dreading this one. Why? I hate burpees. They suck. I just couldn't bring myself to put 10 reps on my workout. Eight sounds much more reasonable to me. :)
