Personal Training NYC ClientA

So, my day to day struggles continue.  I was okay this weekend, not great, but really not awful either.  Basically, Sunday I had three slices of pizza and cereal and did not work out.  So clearly, that is somewhat of  a negative.  However, this week I actually made myself get up in the morning and do a spin class which for me is huge!  I’m definitely not a morning person, but honestly, trying to hit the gym before work one day a week isn’t that big of a sacrifice.  On Wednesday with Terri I got to see pictures of her when she was competing and heard about the amount of training and effort that it took her before she really started to succeed.  Now, after hearing her stories, I definitely knew that in no way do I have the level of discipline nor motivation to every do something like that.  However, those stories inspired me because I thought, well, I could never do that, nor would I really want to, but I certainly could make a few more sacrifices and put forth a little more effort.  Hence, the mroning workout. 

Honestly, I think that is what it really takes.  Figuring out what is doable for you.  I think it is important to set goals, and now I have set one of working out in the morning once a week.  That will not be easy for me, but it is doable, I can achieve that, I can succeed.  However, if I set a goal of three days a week before work, well that would just be setting myself up to fail.  I think it is just about finding a balance between pushing yourself to new levels, but also making sure to set goals where you have a chance to succeed.   You have to be realistic!
