We all have goals in mind when it comes to life. In regards to exercise, it is easier to keep our goals in mind as well, and it especially helps when it comes to staying motivated. Always having your family in your goals makes the motivation that much easier. My goal is be around longer for them, and hopefully, they feel the same. It has been a tough week for me, and my family. I had to put my training partner and best friend, Buddy, down. My brothers, sister, and mom have been in conversation all week, and will be meeting next week to have end of life care discussion for my Dad. And, my daughter has been having health issues, all of which are still trying to be sorted out, and all this while she is away at college in Virginia. I am stressed to the max, and this too is where exercise helps. It is also my escape, my time to think, my time to sort through all of this, and try to come up with some answers, or at least ideas of how to deal with it.
Remember those close to you, and keep them in your goals…and especially your life. Don’t lose sight of this. They are truly what is important in your life.
Keep moving everybody. As I said last week, somebody would miss you if you were gone!
