How strong are you?

I don't mean how much weight can you lift. I mean what do you have to do everyday to be strong and persevere?

Most of my friends who know me, know that I struggle with endometrosis and have since I was a teenager.  This has always caused issues with exercising. I love to run, but I literally have been stopped on the side of the road at times doubled over.  People always ask why I still run?

Answer? Because I will not let this control my life. This is my life and if I make excuses this crap wins. I will admit the past 3 days have been awful, to the point I have been woken up at night, and it just disrupted my run (I still got 4 miles in).

I CHOOSE every day to live as healthy as possible. I have noticed that a clean diet, little to no sugar, no caffeine has helped to make a difference.  Being that I am out of medical options I need to look at lifestyle options that are not hard on my body. I have a family to take care of.

So I leave you with this today.  What issue do you wake up to every morning and what is your choice? It is a choice. If you are healthy as a horse, count your blessings.

August already?

That moment when you realize that half of the year has flown by and you sit back and look to see where you want to head. 

I have made some choices and decisions. One of them is that I love all of the beachbody programs. The second is that running is still not cooperating with my leg (I am at physical therapy for the second time in 7 days). It may be time to really back off the running. I love my cardio but need to find other ways, or just focus on all easy runs. 

To help I am doing insanity with my Body Beast program. I have also decided to get Insanity certified and I will be Piyo certified soon also. I love teaching and used to choreography dances (back in the day) so this ties in well. 

If the rumors are true that there may be a new Body Beast I will order that so fast!
