Show up

Monique Coleman really touched me with her talk at the Purple Party sponsored by Jewish Family Services today. She said to show up- really show up in your life. I felt some type of way about that. Tomorrow I start training- really taking serious the fact that I want to get below 200 pounds. I've worked on my weight since I was 10 years old but I never quite had the tools that I possess right now and I'm planning on showing up in a big way.

One thing I'm going to do is prove to myself how serious I am. Yall remember summer vacation? When your mom used to threaten you- "If you don't get up, clean up this house- you won't do nothing this summer." You thought, "Yeah, whatever," until that day she woke your butt up at the crack of dawn and made you clean the kitchen, scrub the floor, wash and iron the clothes and then said "No!" When you asked to go to the fair that weekend. Mom Dukes was serious, and fed up with the foolishness. Well, that's where I am right now. My brain is Mom Dukes and my body is the lazy teenager on summer break. I don't want to hear excuses, complaining or whining. I just want this mess cleaned up! Ha! And it starts tomorrow morning with my first Hiit cardio. I want to test myself and see how bad do I want it BEFORE I see my trainer at Body by Todd. I'm prepared, I'm excited and I'm motivated! Let's go!
