You have to do the work to benefit from the reward

We all have a habit of wanting things but not wanting to put the work in. When it comes to being healthy inside and out that won't work. If you commit to doing the work, sticking to your diet (etc) you will reach your goal. It's hard work but you will feel amazing. You will have more energy, feel stronger, your mood will improve and most people report sleeping better too.

Maybe you've chosen a new fitness journey for the sake of your children, maybe for yourself. Make a plan you can follow, a schedule you can actually do. Don't set yourself up to fail before you even start! Set your goals and then go for them the same way you would go after the new leather knee high boots you've been stalking on amazon. Don't allow yourself to make excuses, "I'll start tomorrow, or monday." There is no rule that you have to start on a monday. I know so many people, myself included, who let weeks go by because, "oh its wednesday, guess I'll wait till next monday."
Be the force in your life, drive yourself towards your goals and then kick their ass!

You can do this, and I can do this. We can do this together. ;)
