On Wednesday one of the trainers who had never seen me work out before actually asked whether I was a professional athlete when I finished working out, I said no, it's for fitness. There was a lady there that day who was also present today...while I was doing my last set of push up to punches she came over and looked at me in puzzlement...."I have to ask, are you training for something?"....me, puffing, panting and spitting sweat :-) "nope"....but I never have good comebacks when asked a question. Later on, I thought to myself....I should have said I am training for life.
Yes, training for life.
I have said it before, finding me time keeps me sane with everything else that happens. When you spend the rest of your day taking care of others, you need some time to take care of you. I have never been much of a fancy dresser, I don't do my hair up, my nails are pretty plain, I am not into spas or massages, so my natural choice was exercise!
Training for life
It takes an immense amount of self control and discipline to keep to the program. These are qualities that spill over to other aspects of your life.
Training for life
Being healthy hopefully translates to running around with my toddler to her hearts' content. It means I do not get breathless running up a flight of stairs.
I know you get it. It's not all about how good I am trying to look, it is an added plus, but there is so much more to pushing yourself, getting past the limits you thought were impossible to surpass.
Have a wonderful weekend!
