So what exactly does it mean to "commit to yourself"? Well ,to me it means to invest in yourself. To take are of yourself. To make sure that you make time for YOU. As a busy mother of three very young boys, I didn't commit to myself until I hit my breaking point. I don't advise you wait until then. I woke up one day and was totally broken. Not able to look in the mirror without feeling total disgust, defeat and ashamed, I decided that this was the day I put "me" on the totem pole. I mean let's face it- if your a stay at home mom with three kids then you know, we don't fall on the totem pole. The cat eats before I have coffee. The freaking cat comes before me.
I decided to reach out to someone about getting fit. I was serious this time and I meant business. Well- it worked. I made the commitment! I committed to myself. I set goals and kept going strong until I reached each and every one of them. I didn't quit. I began to see results from this major change in eating and working out and I loved it! Some might say it became an addiction- and so what if it did??!! It's a GREAT addiction! I'll take it! Since implementing Beachbody programs, shakeology daily and eating clean, my life has changed drastically. I feel good about myself. I post pictures of me working out! What??!! In little clothes?? Crazy. Never did I think it would go that far! And to top it off I became a Beachbody coach! I'll tell you- I have found my passion and have been able to focus on making it my career and that is a gift I thought I would never find. True passion. I love what I do and I love helping others. It's my heart. The moral of the story?? Taking care of "you" can lead you to amazing things! Put "you" on the totem pole.
