Change is uncomfortable...

I have found that the phrase "Change is Uncomfortable" has been on my mind alot lately. I think this is true for anything you do in life. I remember as I walked down the isle on my wedding day it was somewhat hard to let go of my dad's arm as he placed my hand into my beloved Joe's hand. I knew in my heart that I wanted to be married, but for a slight moment the change of hands was overwhelming. Change seemed a little uncomfortable that day.

As I look back on this journey of better health there have been moments when change was extremely uncomfortable. It was hard to eat well everyday. I thought I couldn't possibly work out any harder with Denny and Beau. Change was extremely uncomfortable then and still is today. I continue to struggle this week with changes in my work-out routine as I deeply miss training with Doug and Denny. I know that I want to train for other things that require a change in what I am doing, but it is still uncomfortable. Change is uncomfortable even when it means growth in my training. Change is also uncomfortable as I attempt to grow my fitness business on my own. My confidence is rattled and the change is uncomfortable.

What I am getting at here is that anything worth doing is worth doing well and is worth the changes that might have to occur. I see some of you struggle with weight loss, stress from work, stress from home, or just trying to show up another day for another whipping in the gym. I see you struggle with the number on the scales or the pants that are just a little snug. I see you struggle as you come back from an injury or as you try to lose that same 20 pounds again! Please remember that change is hard. Change is uncomfortable. You might not see results right away, but keep at it and it will come your way.

You all continue to inspire me in so many ways. Thanks for the opportunity to be on this journey of change with each and every one of you.

Show up and make it count!
