Starting The Year and Week Off Blessed!

Decided to blog in between sets of seated upright rows. It's not easy but I'm trying! Lol! Okay so most of you may not know that I grew up in the baptist church but converted to Islam about 15+ years ago. Well yesterday, my heart told me to call my daughter and see what time her church started but she didn't answer so I stopped by my parents house and made the decision to attend their early church service with them. I also invited my friend Jenise. Bare with me, this post is related to fitness! 

So the message in this morning's church service was "out with the old and in with the new." It hit me in a special way. You see, I have been in the habit of putting the needs of others before my own. I can't remember the last time I told someone no when I should have. Well, the message that I received today was powerful and I plan to apply it to how I have historically lived my life; for others. That's dead. I'm not saying that I will become totally selfish. That's just not me but I will make sure that I am taken care of before I take anyone else into consideration. There are exception to this but that's another post. When it comes to fitness, I have tried to drag friends and family members to the gym with me. Not because I need company, but because they need to take better care of their health. I have missed out on the gym trying to get others to come or waiting for them to show up. My point here is, do not miss out on what you are trying to do for you while trying to do for others. Your fitness (and life) comes first. Period. All others have to jump on board and keep up or get left the hell behind. Those who want your help will make sure they ask and follow through. If not, keep it moving and don't look back. Okay, my workout is being interrupted by blogging so I've gotta go! WonderWomanStatus!
