Motivational Monday: I need fitness in my life

Everyone tells us to "stay motivated." Our friends, our co-workers, our relatives say keep going, don't quit. Sometimes, though, you ask, "Why? Why try my hardest when it ends in disappointment? Why go through something when it's going to hurt? Why?

Because it's going to be different this time! Because you can't accomplish anything that you give up on. Disappointments and failures happen to everyone. The difference between those who reach their goals and those who don't is staying motivated. If you're motivated, you'll keep going. If you keep going, eventually you'll reach your goal."

I had to drop a class. 5 classes were a lot even if it was for a short amount of time. 3 of the classes weren’t my part of my original plan but it was an opportunity I couldn’t miss out on. If I didn't have them on my shoulders I wouldn't be stressed out. I've been eating poorly.. not working out... sleeping less. So I've decided to take it next quarter. I did put a lot of work into it. But I've decided to try to put exercise and eating right a priority. I have a competition with my friends to win. :)

Why has this all of the sudden surfaced. I was looking through my photos for an art project and I haven't found 1 good photo of me. It's depressing. I need to nip that feeling in the bud.

Happy Monday.
