Ya, you know you’ve said it before…I have too. What many people do not realize is that exercise will GIVE YOU MORE ENERGY! It is the best ‘wake up call’ you could ask for! Seriously.

When I woke up this morning, I did not want to do my interval training. However, I just kept telling myself how ‘energized I would be afterward‘ and that it ‘only takes 15 minutes‘ and that ‘then I will have the rest of my day to get things done..‘ Sometimes this kind of ’self talk’ is all that you need to get your butt in gear and take action!

Anyway, I did do it and it felt wonderful. I’ve had a really busy day so I’m glad that at 8:30am I could say that I did not have to ‘find the time’ to workout. Of course I am following The Fit Chic Year of Workouts…they are quick and intense and they fit perfectly into my schedule as a busy mom. I am currently on 8 sets of 8. I did legs yesterday…oooh what a killer! My quads are in agony today!

If you have young children as I do, I’m sure you feel tired most of the time. Just remember how energized and full of life you will be if instead you made working out a priority. Don’t use ‘low energy’ as an excuse, because that’s just what it is! If any of you have listened to the Unstoppable Fat Loss audio series…and heard Nino Savona speak, you would think twice about making excuses. The struggles and challenges that this man faces on a daily basis are incredible, yet he has made fitness a vital part of his life. It’s an incredible story and brought tears to my eyes. I think I felt this way because I realized how blessed I am, and yet I take it for granted.

So, count your blessings and have a good one…

Cheers to health,

Angie
