Never Give Up

I am usually not one to think about my accomplishments, especially when it comes to anything physical.

Today on my drive home from the gym I began to think about how far I have actually come. I started going to the gym to work out constantly, having a life style change about two years ago. When I started I could only do half an hour, and at the end of this time I would be so tired and just plain dead. My work outs then were (maybe) 10 min on a bike and the rest being resistant training with weights. Today I warm up by biking an hour, half an hour of resistant training of which I can lift and do twice as much as I use to, then finish by running/jogging a mile, and have the energy to run around and not feel like death after. It is crazy to me how far I have come, granted it has been 2 years. But then I thought about my progress since starting at my current gym, which I started in February. I could only plank for maybe 5 seconds, I worked my way up to 30 seconds, today I am able to plank for 1min do 10 crunches on a ball plank for another minute then do 10 more crunches.

I say all this to give courage, don't give up! It may take 2 years to get where you want to be, and when it has been that long and you think you are getting no where look back at where you were and where you are today. You may not be the weight you want to be (i'm not) but look at how much healthier you are! Look at what you can do now! And in another 2 years I am sure you will be twice as far if you keep going!
