Push Yourself. It works.

Are  you 100% Satisfied with your body right now? Do you wake up every day feeling that you have reached all of your goals? 

If not, and I believe I speak not only for myself but for many of us out there, YOU MUST PUSH YOURSELF EVERY SINGLE DAY. You want this?? PUSH. 

Every day, SOMETHING will come up that will get in your way. Meetings, kids, social gatherings, traffic, illness, you name it. You keep giving IN, you keep taking a few steps BACK and you get closer to GIVING UP.

THE ONLY WAY TO FAIL IS TO GIVE UP. THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS TO PUSH HARDER.

I woke up this morning in Seattle and my legs were ACHING from DOMS. I walked around my room and I'm saying to myself, "This hurts a lot, I really shouldn't do it this morning. I'll run when I get home tomorrow night..." SCREW THAT. 

I thought about what I was saying and realized that this is how WIMPS talk. Do you think all the badass runners, Olympians, marathoners, fitness competitors - DIDN'T WORKOUT WHEN THEY DIDN'T FEEL WELL??? Do you think they said, "Nah, I'll just sleep in...." 

THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

You want the physique and level of fitness that 95% of the population doesn't have? THEN WORK FOR IT. Wimpyness and Whinyness have no place here. 

I listened to my inner wimp and thought, "Kelly do you want to be a RUNNER? Because a REAL RUNNER runs when it hurts. You think a marathon is gonna be light fluffy kittens and cappuccino?? Think again! Get your sorry A** out there and RUN".

GUESS WHAT? I kicked that sidewalks A**!! And then some. Ran 30 minutes and then came back to the hotel gym and did a shoulder workout - AND THEN I got on the treadmill and ran 10 more minutes, and THEN I did some of Jenny Lynn's TORTUOUS ab moves AND THEN I got back on the treadmill for a 3 minute sprint. Heck yes I did.

I OWNED IT. And it felt AMAZING. Now I am channeling my inner Amy Burford when I stand here feeling my lower hips and getting annoyed at what I am still able to grab onto- and I say, "Hello there you flabby piece of crap. I like you because you are part of my DNA at this moment but I want you GONE and guess what? I will eliminate you like yesterday's email. Get ready to MAKE LIKE A TREE AND LEAVE."

I am unstoppable. I own this 90-day Challenge and the rest of my LIFE. I will surpass ALL OF MY GOALS AND THEN SOME. I CAN DO ANYTHING I SET MY MIND TO. And so can you.

Are you in? Are you positioning yourself as a WIMP or a WARRIOR??
