…I’ve taken many journeys before. This is a new journey and it begins now. Today. Here.
Where I got the idea…
My husband works in residential maintenance. When people move out they leave a lot behind. This past week – the first week of June 2019 – he reached out during the work day with a simple text image – a heavy bag on a dolly.. His question was simple. “Want this?” I didn’t hesitate to reply with “Hell yes!”
That evening we discussed where to put it and what we wanted to do. Within half an hour we had it all planned out. Here it is, Sunday night and everything is coming together. The heavy bag is up. The floor mats are on order. Exercise balls, yoga mat, and some hand weights all in place and our basement is now a home gym.
We are going to be adding a bench and more free weights and I want to get a fold up rowing machine of some kind.
I have downloaded some Kickboxing and Yoga apps to help me as I get started. My mottos that will keep me going are #embracethesuck and #noexcuses. I need to be more active. I have no excuses now.
I plan on using this blog as a journal of my journey with this. Be warned, I’m going to be complete honest and unbiased and I will not filter myself. Not everyone is walking the same journey, so if this doesn’t sit well with you – then find another journey to follow or start your own.
If you’re in a place where you need a lifestyle change, know two things:
1)You only have control over you – no one else. And no one else controls you – only you do.
2) No day but today. A year from now you will wish you had started today so just get up and do it. No more excuses. No one is watching, no one cares and if they do so what. Just do it.
