Have you been cruising along working out and eating well and then crunch, you get an injury that is so bad that you can't work out for an extended period of time? What do you do? You have two choices, you can go back to how you used to live your life or you can choose to continue on the healthy path. Is it always easy, are you kidding me?! If it was easy, every single one of us would look like bikini models while stuffing our faces with double stuffed, fudge covered Oreos. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. It takes work and dedication, but how you choose to look at it is completely up to you.
So let's say you have an injury that is so bad that you can't do the normal hard-core cardio you're used to. Do you have access to a pool? Swimming is awesome cardio! Also, focus on the muscle groups that aren't injured. If you have a lower body injury, focus on your arms and abs. You won't be injured forever, but if you don't give yourself time to heal, you will never be able to fully workout again anyway!
This might sound cheesy, but it works...Think positive! (Stop thinking how lame that sounds, because it works.) Make a list of all the things that you CAN do and start doing them! No more excuses. Anybody can tell you all of the reasons why you can't do something, but who wants to hang around that crabby pants! Why not be the person that decides to make a change, and actually does it.
So you need to know, that as I'm writing this I'm completely writing to myself. There are so many times in the past that something has happened and I've just given up, mainly because I didn't think I deserved any better. (It only took me about the first 29 years of my life to figure that out.) But I do deserve to do my best and achieve all of my goals, and so do you! So what's holding you back and why aren't you going for it??
Post your comments and let me know how you have overcome obstacles and pushed through...and let me know how awesome it felt to get there!!
