That Widow

Day 145 and I just don’t get it.

I’m a part of a Facebook group for the YouTube videos that I do. This group is made up of others who are working out as well, at least they should be. Here recently it has been an influx of people saying they want to workout but they need an accountability partner. One said she had a partner but they stopped checking in so she stopped working out. Others chime in that they have no motivation but need a partner. Why? Why do you need a partner if you’re not willing to do the work? Your partner stopped contacting you so that means you stop working out? Why not hold yourself accountable first before you start pulling others into your bs?

I get it, it makes people feel better that someone else is going through the struggle too but at what point do we all stop relying on others, put our heads down, and do the damn work? I’m honest, there are days I absolutely hate doing the work but there is no one else here that is going to force me to do it. No one will know if I don’t do it. Is that the kind of person I want to be? No. I can do hard things. My body is capable of doing hard things. Do the hard things and be just 1% better. I’m over the drama of this isn’t working so I’ll just give up. If that’s how you feel then why even start? Sounds to me that you forgot your why unless you were only doing it because you thought it would be easy or you could workout for 15 minutes and still eat or drink what you want. Do the hard things to see changes.

Day 145 and it’s called a lifestyle change for a reason.
