Real talk right here:
Every morning I wake up tired as hell. I hate mornings, I hate waking up, if I could sleep all day I would.
That being said, I don't enjoy waking up early to work out, but once I get into the grind, I suck up my morning bitterness and just DO it. I have a duty to myself and my career to keep pushing through all obstacles. My duty to myself is to never give up on ME or to lose ME ever again!!
Is it easy? Absolutely not.
Is it fun? Once I get through fighting my mind in the first 30 mins of waking, it's the best feeling ever. I battle my mind every day. I am not a morning person but I am a person with dedication to the fire inside of me.
Point I am trying to make is that I make all the sacrifices I can to take care of #1 - since Dec. I have been on my weight los journey and people think it's easy for me by now or that there's some real secret on how I have lost so much weight. It was all SACRIFICE....giving up trigger foods, and even getting enough sleep and keeping within 1200 to 1500 calories a day, tracking and monitoring myself constantly!
Truth is, my secret is in overcoming that mental hurdle EVERY single day.
EVERY day I wake up hating life and by the time I hit the gym, I fall in love with life all over again.
That's my real talk, pure honesty - because I won't sugar coat it. Nothing good comes easy. And I wouldn't change this feeling for the world.
