I feel like I've been apologizing a lot lately to many people for my workout schedule. It is intense, yes. It's more than most people do, yes. And it even is taking a major priority in my life. I am not able to do everything I would LOVE to do because of it. However, I am not going to apologize anymore!
There are some people who won't understand what it's like to be passionate about anything. I feel very sad for those people. To not have anything to wake up for in the morning, or get them through the day. I've even had someone say "you've only been doing it for three years, it can't be THAT important." Well to those people I say "your child is only three years old, it really can't be THAT important!" Exactly, you know how, well, mean it sounds!
Working out has quite literally changed my entire life! The way I feel about me has done a complete 180! And now I have a goal! A goal which includes an incredibly hard diet (especially when going to numerous Twins games and the State Fair!) and a very rigorous workout routine.
It's funny, I had a good friend of mine say to me last night "ya know, we thought you would get down to your weight and size and say, never mind." I thought that was odd, because that must have been who I was at some point! Not saying it's a bad thing, but the type of person who gets to somewhere and says "well, that's enough!" What working out has taught me, just as a person and about life, is there is ALWAYS one step more.
No longer is there a "oh, I'm there, that's enough!" Nope. I am going to be going to bootcamp. I will be an Officer in the Army. Once I'm in, that won't be enough either. I'll have new goals, new challenges and who knows, by the end of THIS journey, I might come out with a Ph. D. or maybe the Presidency...I guess we'll just have to see!!
I'm sure that ALL of us will see. You betcha, kiddo! You CAN'T quit now. I hope that other people see that, too.
