The Struggle is Real

I asked what if there were any topics that any of my readers (hi mom and dad!) wanted me to touch on. 

I was asked if there is anything I struggle with. 

What I struggle with?

Some days I struggle to put pants on and remember what I ate for breakfast 

some days I struggle to lace up my shoes and get my ass out the door

sometimes I struggle to be upbeat and positive

sometimes I struggle to sit still with all the energy (and coffee)

some days I struggle with making the right decision

some days I struggle to not eat everything in my sight

some days I struggle to get in 3000 calories to replace what I used up in training

some days I struggle with my 4am alarm clock

sometimes I struggle with spending so much time training and not with my family

I struggle to stay focused 

I struggle every day. 

But with every step I take, every mile I run, I get stronger. 

Every time I get in the pool or hop on the bike trainer when I really want to eat ice cream in my sweat pants I overcome one more struggle 

Every time I manage to shove the fat kid in a closet for a moment of peace I am winning the struggle

There will be something every day that I struggle with but the key is to not let that struggle take over

There will be days when you give in, forget to put pants and watch 7 seasons of parks and rec while eating 3 day old pizza. 

We all have those moments. 

Its ok to be human
