Train thru the Hard Times

Hey Everyone! I’m reflecting on the past few months and I’m feeling overwhelmed with gratitude.  I went through a tough time as we all do, and luckily I made it thru and my life is better than ever now.  I’m feeling grateful to everyone on here for inspiring me and keeping me motivated.  Whenever I needed encouragement I could call on any of my awesome friends on here to cheer me and keep me going. 

I am also very grateful to the power & self-confidence that lifting weights gives me.  Thru it all, I had the strength to stay on my clean diet & hit the gym 5 times a week.  It was one of the few things that I had control over & I held onto it with both hands! Seeing my body lean out ‘fed me’ like a drug. 

Looking back, I am very proud of myself for avoiding ‘drowning myself in cheescake’ like I would have enjoyed doing.  It would have made me feel worse & could have started a downward spiral which we all know is tough to pull out of.

The weights are always there for you & they tell it like it is…..Hard times come & go, just train thru it!
