Hi everyone,
I've found myself slacking with my training. I have struggled with finding the time and motivation to train. I was more and more overwhelmed by having 3 jobs and undertaking an extra program. I was starting to sacrifice my training times for things that I thought at the time were more important, like bills and cleaning and other random problems of life that seem to get in the way.
From training 1 hour every 3 days per week, my exercise diminished into a rushed 20min workout every Monday evening. It didn't dawn on me until I was faced with the opportunity to run the SMH Half Marathon in May, and I realised I had not run seriously for many months. I also noticed how much passion I had lost. I had no drive.
Then I was brought back to why I am here. My purpose in life is to empower others to be empowered by their own health and well-being. For a while I had thought it was fairly simple and straight forward. I had contemplated following in a certain personal trainer's footsteps and going out and eating loads of crap foods and not exercising. Then after gaining 40kgs of fat, he would then train hard and eat healthy to prove that it is possible to lose all that fat. I got scared and didn't try it. Little did I know, I was actually on my way there, not because of my work commitments, but because of the lack of commitment I had to what really mattered in my life.
Right now it isn't clear how I will get back into my original training regime. But I do see some time I have every day. So I am making the commitment to do 50 pushups every night. I had done this for 2 nights already, and tonight I was about to skip it because I was tired. But I had declared this commitment to a friend this morning, so in order to give power to, and honour my word, I did. And I feel GREAT!!
