Finish What You Started: Notes From The Diary of a Serial Quitter

My life has a similar pattern in almost everything that I do. I quit.  If I start working out and don’t see results in a month I quit. If I try a diet and I get too hungry in a few days I quit.  If a job isn't working out the way I planned it to I quit. When life isn't being kind sometimes I just retreat to a dark place and say I QUIT.

Reality is, I quit because the thought of failing or not reaching my goal was much scarier to me than trying – not the best solution- but that is how I have learned to handle life.  What I have learned in the success that snuck through my habitual quitting is that if it was easy, everyone would have it.

So this leads to my newest journey. When I first heard about Game Changers Boot Camp, I came up with every excuse as to why it wouldn't work for me. Now before I say this in no ways am I trying to slam anyone’s hustle. This is about MY JOURNEY.

I looked for every short cut I could to avoid changing my life style. Shakes, wraps, extreme diets, pills, prayer, and the flu anything that would help me get to my goal weight. Of course this microwave mentality didn't get me far. 

We all want it NOW with minimal effort to get it. Have you ever had micro waved chicken? I promise you can do it and it is edible and fast. However we all can agree it will never taste as good as the properly seasoned, marinated grilled piece that took some time to prepare.

This is the same theory with our bodies.  Quality results take time. I am no expert on exercise I am simply an overweight girl who has ran out of short cuts and finally had to take accountability and control of my choices.  I don’t know it all because I have been in the gym for two weeks. What I do know is I am not quitting. I have a boot camp, yoga, some summer hikes and a 5k in my future.

I learned there is no magic solution. The solutions are getting out of your bed, working out and making healthy eating choices.  My body deserves my best.  So what does a person who has quit for 35 years do? Well I have decided to quit again, but this time I am going to quit, quitting. 

I am excited to see the results and I PROMISE in this wordy blog to reward my readers with a picture before and after when it is all done.  If you are already on track and you know what to do this blog isn't for you. However if you are an excuse maker  like me and overwhelmed with life’s curve balls then this might serve as an inspiration to you. 

I am excited to see what the next 3 months hold……quitting or no quitting I pledge to make my before and after my FACEBOOK profile picture on my birthday August 16. TALK ABOUT PRESSURE!!! So to my quitters, shortcut seekers and discouraged ones if I can do this you can to you just have to CHANGE THE GAME!

IF you are in Colorado I have that solution, best decision I made in my life and I am going to finish what I started.
