Do it for YOU!

I started thinking about why I started working out and what made me decide to focus on myself....Was it the person I saw looking back in the mirror? Was it my husband? Was it my kids? Was it that bathing suit sitting in the drawer that was looking back at me? Was it the scale? What was it?

I know all of these played a role in me deciding to lead a more healthier life. I wanted to look in the mirror and be proud, I wanted to be in good shape for my husband who is a workout junkie, I wanted to have more energy for my kids, I wanted to get back in that bikini after 3 kids, and I wanted that scale to show me a number I liked. Those all do play roles in my quest to get healthier and fit.

I didn't change my habits or stick to this journey until I realized I was doing this for ME! It was ME who I wanted to do this for! That was the moment when it all clicked and I realized I owed this to myself! I wanted to be comfortable and confident within my own skin. I didn't want to feel like 3 pregnancies had taken a toll on my body and health. I didn't want the fact that turning 30 this year was an excuse. Ever since I realized I wanted to do this for me it made this journey so much easier! I hold myself accountable for working out and eating right. 

I'm proud to say for a minute I was selfish and did this for ME but in return it has affected all aspects of my life: my husband, my kids, the mirror image, that bikini, and the scale number!

Do something for YOU! Be selfish and put yourself first. YOU DESERVE IT!
