This is Your life...Are you who you want to be??

Just thought I would share a little something that inspired me!! :) I was working out this evening, and this song came on Pandora. It's not really a good work out song, but it was a GREAT song for me at that moment. Isn't it funny how things seem to fall in your lap, right at the moment that it's needed?!

I tried pushing myself tonight on the treadmill. I did the "Hill" setting at a level 10, at 3.8 MPH (OUCH), for 30 minutes (plus 5 minutes for the cool down) - maybe a little too ambitious but Hey - I finished it!!! LOL I had hit maybe the 14 minute mark, and the incline went up to 7.8 and I thought my legs were going to fall off!!!! This song came on about that time, when I was thinking about just stopping there, and going back to the "Manual" setting and taking the easy way out. But I started to actually LISTEN to the words, and I realized that I wasn't going to be the person I wanted to be, by CHEATING!! Yes, folks, slacking on a workout, or giving up when it's getting a little tough is the same thing as cheating!! :) Sorry to burst bubbles here!!

I guess my point is, when things start getting tough, and you are thinking about quitting, or thinking about caving in on something that you really shouldn't do, ask yourself...

"This is your life...Are you who you wanna be? This is your life...Is it everything your dreaming it could be?" If you're answer is NO, then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! For me, it's not giving up, not cheating, when my workouts get hard, or when I'm tired and don't feel like working out. If I want to change who I am, and become who I want to be I need to do what it takes to get there!! :)
