WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON




Have you ever said to yourself in the middle of making a tough decision, "whose side are you on?" I've faced many battles with myself regarding food choices, clothes, fitness programs etc... You name it I've had to make choices as to what stance I would take...and here we find the challenges continue with our fitness goals.

I found having this question looming in the back of my mind helped me stay on the right course.
Remember, I didn't have a personal trainer, or an aerobics instructor when I started out, it was just me, my kids and Gods sweet Spirit to guide me...So listening was an important area for me in the midst of everything going on around me.

My message today is short and brief and meant to stick...Before you do anything to sabotage all the hard work you've already put in, ask yourself..."What side will this fall on if I do it...If the wrong side....Then you are working against yourself.....If the right side....Then you are working for yourself......

It's as simple as that....If having more than 3 drinks this Memorial Day is your goal, what side will that put you on........If eating whatever is slid your way, what side will that put you on....If partying all night and not getting any sleep the next day, what side will that put you on...

Please think before you drink. Drink plenty of water before you sit down for the big family meal...You won't hurt any ones feelings if you just can't eat a lot because the desire isn't there anymore right.

Once you get through this one, it will better prepare you for the 4Th of July down the road.

Stay on the fitness train, so you can be proud to tell everyone how YOU MADE IT BACK!

I've learned to resist the temptation to indulge in large amounts of high calorie foods. It can be tempting. I much on fruit and raw vegetables and drink water instead of sodas.
Thank you
