Take A Look at The Bigger Picture

I want to begin by telling each of you readers I respect and applaud all of you for taking your personal health and fitness into consideration on a daily basis. Even though some of us find it crazy or implausible for someone to simply not work out, I understand that life takes a toll on all of us somehow and we all react differently. We all may make our way to the gym for different reasons, but sometimes we need to be reminded that the reasons we take our health into consideration on a daily basis are bigger than what we may give them credit for.

                Don’t forget that it is your health that you are working to improve. That is the most important thing. I know a lot of us want to look as good as we feel, but unless your genetics allow it, looks will fade. It is just part of life and unless you are indulging in plastic surgery or have the best genetics in the world, that is the truth. It is what going on inside you that you need to remember. Your health is priority. What good are your looks if you won’t be healthy enough to enjoy them? So just remember, you may not lose weight as fast as the other person, but your blood pressure is good, your heart is strong and working well. That is the most important thing to remember when you don’t see that scale change the way you would like it to.

                I think it is safe to assume that we all have someone who looks to each of us for something. Whether it is for inspiration, support or an example of what it is like to win, there is someone in our lives that holds us to a high standard because they like what we are doing. You’re surrounded by a group of people on a daily basis. They may be your family or your co workers. Whoever it is, they’re looking up to you for some reason. Don’t think that because you may not be seeing the results your want so soon that you are not making a difference. You could be the one thing that a single person has to get moving and get in shape. Maybe your children look to you as their “Hero “and want to follow in your foot steps in whatever you do. Someone is watching you achieve. Don’t stop. If you did, they might stop to.

                As always, the one thing you should never do is give up. Sure, seeing the scale drop or the pants sizes go down is something we all can be impatient for from time to time, but the one easy way to guarantee that it never changes is to give up. If you ever feel like giving up, just remember why you started in the first place. You’re achieving something worth having. You’re inspiring others to move and become healthier. Your friends and significant others/children are looking up to you. You can’t give up. You want this. All of your supporters want you to have it. Because you’re earning it and you deserve it. Never give up. Keep going. You’re doing a good job.
