The fight for the dream..

"If you can dream it, you can get it. Therefore getting it is exactly what you will have to do. If the dream is big enough, you will have to fight for it. You won’t necessarily fight another person for it, but fight laziness, procrastination, negative opinions of others, apathy, etc."

I am realizing what a strong hold laziness (and procrastination) has on my life... not just in working out but in my job and in my business and in house hold chores. Laziness has kept me back for so long. I am making the decision to not be lazy anymore. I have huge dreams and I am just now learning that I am worth them coming true. For so long I did not think so-- and still occasionally do not think so. This program is the first thing that I think I have ever worked this hard for in my whole life and I just I am so ready to see final results. Trying my best to walk by faith and not by sight. I am so thankful for the Lord who carries me through each and every day. I am determined to lose this 150 pounds in a year and determine to do everything in my power to win this competition. I may not win but I refuse to let it be because I did not give it all I had!

Tonight was a good work out. Me and another girl on the team got together with our trainer and just worked on strength training and reps. It was nice to learn that... we all just need to become stronger in so many ways. I am looking forward to that. Then I did taebo (which is always a pleasant and fun class) and I did the step mill (which always reminds me of what I think hell will be like.. lol.) 

Update on the shoes: Words cannot express how much of a difference they make!!! For real if you are a runner or what ever- make sure you have good shoes. it is so important! The support is amazing and those shoes are such a blessing. I cannot workout without feeling so blessed and thankful! :) Again- thank you try sports and whoever got in touch with them! 

Weigh in tomorrow-- I am speaking and hoping for 5 pounds especially since we only have 4 weeks left but it's looking like maybe 3 pounds perhaps. 

I am pooped for sure and ready for a nice hot bath in Epsom Salt. :) It's definitely a-callin' my name!

  1. I'm definitely hearing you on the epsom salt bath! Think i'm doing one of those as well.

    Even when this program is "over"...we should still try and get together to do some workouts. I would love to have a workout buddy. :)

  2. Hi BLair,
    I'm Kristen's aunt and I hear ya on the procrastination/lazy issue. I hope you don't mind me sharing part of a prayer I say nearly every day (remember I'm lazy):
    O God
    Give me strength to live another day;
    Let me not turn coward before its difficulties or prove recreant to its duties...

    Keep going!
