Weight Loss Confessions: The Video I Didn't Want You To See!!!!! (Episode 38)

http://www.myhealthyshores.com/lourileylive | Today, more than any other day, I want to say thank you to the most high. Without the part of him that lives in me, I would be absolutely nothing. This morning was rough. That is as simple as I can put things. I did not want to go to the gym. My energy level was fine, but my mood was flat. I did what I could to shake things off, but it just didn't work out for me.

I decided to give a friend a call to chat while driving to the gym. I started off by saying that I didn't feel like exercising. The followed up with the foul mood they were in. Before long, the conversation turn into a complaint festival. It's not hard to find people that will feed into your negativity. We all have it. Still, I was headed to they gym, so I figured at the least I would get in a sub par work out. I figured some exercise is better than none.

I was dreading the thought of exercising. I had visions of turning my car around and heading back home. I wanted to just go to bed and worry about not working out later. As I pulled up to the gym, I noticed a familiar vehicle. It belonged to a mentor of mine who is a fitness guru. God must have know that I needed the extra push this morning. The first thing he said was "What's up slim! Man you have lost a lot of weight!" Being the human I am, that immediately changed my mood. To myself I was like "yeah, I'm really going to work out today!"

After putting in about 1.5 miles, I came back inside and started my routine for the day. I was shown a few finer point of some of the exercises I was doing that made them much more challenging. Call me crazy, but a part of me likes the pain and discomfort that comes along with being challenged in the weight room. I guess the more appropriate thought would be that I like conquering the pain and discomfort. It gives me a sense of accomplishment.

After three rounds of a strenuous workout, the bad mood I started my day with turned into an appreciation for the challenge. I am so glad I did not turn that car around and listen to the voice in me that was telling me to give up. I battle against this demon on a weekly basis. I don't know if it will ever leave. What I do know is that the stronger I become, the better equipped I am to deal with things. I always hear that coal must first undergo pressure in order to turn into a diamond. I know that the success I am looking for exists. In fact, it lives inside of me. I will remain constant in my efforts and I will not give up on becoming the person I am supposed to be.
