Testing...Testing...123

Life is about tests. Regardless of what situation you are in, life with test you as soon as you say you are gonna accomplish something. Why? Because without challenge humans do not appreciate the results. Like it is said nothing worth having is easy. If it was, we would have already had it. Though everyone's tests are different, we all have them daily. Your decisions will result in your outcome. Choose wisely and make choices that will get you one step closer to your goal. Sometimes we will take steps back and that is normal. This happens when we did not learn the lesson from that situation but have tried to move forward anyway. You must learn the why in the test. Once you have learned that, you will understand how to move forward without going  backwards. And this means you have passed the test. Once you have passed it, anytime that situation is presented you again, you will recognize it and be able to sail right past it because you already know the answers. Life is a test...did you pass yours today?

TRUTH

It is said that real friends dont let real friends drive drunk. Well, I say real friends dont let real friends eat bad. True, that person is responsible for their own health. However, if I am your true friend, how can I sit by and watch you do something that will halt your success and not say anything. Now Im not gonna hound you, but let's get real, the reason you decided to change is because you did not like what you were to begin with. Sometimes it only takes one thing to make you start slipping backwards, bit by bit. I know that because I have done it several times on my weightloss journey in the past and NEVER reached my goal. I'm not going back to that and I dont want to see anyone do it either. We all know that 80-90% of weightloss is about nutrition so no matter how hard you workout, if you eat bad it was only to keep you where you are. We are about moving forward not standing still. Yes it is hard, yes it is a struggle, but I am sure nothing tastes that good to keep you from your goals. Tough love makes you look yourself in the mirror and accept the decisions you make. It reminds you of why you are making changes and pushes you to be steadfast. So no matter how hard the fight, never give up and help those around you keep their goals reachable.
