Do what it takes!

Even though I’m an exercise physiologist, I don’t really enjoy strength training. You’ve heard me whine about this before in the 30-Day discipline experiment. And yes, I know how to lift weights, and why I should lift weights, but….I don’t do it.

So I decided to “do what it takes.” I hired a personal trainer and had my first session tonight. It was great. She loves strength training and I’m hoping it will rub off. When I got home, I did 10 squats, 10 crunches, and 10 back extensions just to get my calisthenics muscles in gear. I like the idea of lifting my own body weight.

And then I had a healthy Mexican Chopped Salad. I’ll give you the recipe for that soon–maybe tomorrow.

If you want to reach a goal and you’re struggling to succeed, think about what would help you succeed–and then do what it takes!
