Earning It

It really doesn’t matter what I’ve done in the past. What am I doing right NOW to accomplish goals (fitness and otherwise)?

Yes, I am proud of losing weight and running marathons. But, do I really want to be the chick that one time WAS fit and USED to run a decade ago?

Hell no.

This song is on my running playlist for a reason:

It’s, not, where you are, It’s where you’re going,
Where are you going?
And it’s, not, about the things you’ve done, it’s what you’re doing, now,
What are you doing, now?

Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna’ get up?
How quick are you gonna’ get up, now?
Everybody gets knocked down,
Everybody gets knocked down,
How quick are you gonna’ get up?
Just how are you gonna’ get up?

The same friend that turned me on to this song has a group page on Facebook called This Strong Body. It’s a group of likeminded folks who are in all stages of their fitness journeys who come to the page for support, advice, and ideas for healthy living and clean eating. It’s also been a great source of accountability.  (Please check out the page on Facebook!)

I mean, really. Who can sit on the couch eating crap wearing this?

I am at it again. I am working out. I am running. I am moving. I am fueling my body consistently with whole foods. It’s time for this strong body to earn it again!
