The Secret to Lifting is…

Coffee!

I drink coffee before I lift.

I drink coffee when I lift (sometimes).

I reward myself with coffee after I lift.

Find your motivating “thing” and do it!  Whatever will get your butt off the couch.  It’s worth every penny!

 

My Blessed Life…

This says it all.

The above image says it all:  I love coffee.  I CrossFit.  I take naps.

I really have nothing to complain about in this world and about my life.

My husband works hard and pays the bills.

I work to pay for my CrossFit and kids’ activities.

I have the freedom to do what I want when I want (for the most part) since my job is mostly online.

If I want to go for a run, I do.

If I want to go for coffee, I do.

If I need to eat, I eat.  If I need a break, I do laundry.  If I want to read a book, I do.

I’m free to pick up the kids and run them wherever they need to be.

Occasionally, I do get a nap.

And I have God.

I lead a great life.

Sure, we could have more money in the bank.  More money for retirement.  I could have more of an idea how I want to spend the next 20 years.  I could have a cleaner house (I spend too much time CrossFitting it seems).  I could be earning more money since I have a master’s degree in Finance.

But I chose not to work on the weekends.  Not to put my kids in daycare when they were babies and work a full-time job.  Not to follow the crowd.

So I have no complaints.

Really.

None of us do if we live in the developed world.  In the modern world really (toilets, anyone?)

Life is good, and I just need to remember that when the stupid little things in life threaten to change my mindset.

Life is good, life is good, life is good….
