Your Worst Enemy

You are your worst enemy! You are the one who tells yourself that you aren't skinny enough to wear a swimsuit to the beach. You are the one who convinces yourself everyone is looking at you and judging you. You are the one who convinced yourself one more piece of cake won't make a difference.

That truth may hurt a lot of feelings but you know what? Until you accept that truth that you are your own worst enemy, you'll never be happy... truly happy! I'm trying to get out of my own head by having an accountability partner going to Zumba classes with me. I know that if I only count on myself to get me there, I'll come up with 100 reasons why I can't, but if someone is there waiting on me to do it with me, I'm way less likely to lie to them than to myself. It sounds terrible but it's 100% true!

I think everyone has that moment in the day when you feel the want to go out and exercise. For me, it's first thing in the morning. When I get up, and wake my kids up, I make sure to tell them any exercise I plan on doing for that day. That way, a couple hours later when I've convinced myself it's okay not to, they'll ask me about it.. "hey mama, when are we going for that walk together?" It sounds so small but it's a huge deal for me! I wake up and feel refreshed and ready to go but by the time my morning routine is over and I have time to do something else, the want is gone and I'm overwhelmed with the chores of the day.

If you're having this or a similar issue with following through with exercise, please get an accountability partner. Don't think about it, just do it! I picked a total stranger that lives close to me. Maybe you find a friend, a relative, a sibling, anyone you can count on to be there when you're feeling down and out get you moving and on your feet again!

-July 2nd

July 3rd- I tried getting an accountability partner here local to actually go and do the Zumba class with me and well, let's just say that didn't work out.. she bailed an hour before the class started but that's okay.. because I got up and got ready to go do Zumba today and that's exactly what I'm goimg to do!! Yeah, it would have been nice to show up with someone else and at least feel like I know what I'm doing, but if no body ever made the first move in things, we wouldn't have a lot of the things we have today.!

Show up and show out!

Much love y'all! Until next time,

Kay
