Is Your March going to be a "Lion" or a "Lamb?"

Happy March 1st!  Where is this year going?

Time marches on no matter WHAT happens in our lives, right?

So yes, I started Hammer & Chisel back in January and finished this past week. However, was it perfect?  Did I stay on plan 100% the whole time?  No I did not because as always, life happens.  And then my own worst enemy - my head - came out again.

Listen I struggle with sticking to programs all the way through.  Somewhere in the middle I usually lose my resolve for some reason or another.  But then I'll see something that gets me back on track and then I end up finishing. Go figure.

So what usually throws me off?  It's a combination of things.  Sometimes the stress of work gets to me and if I didn't work out in the morning, something happens that prevents me from doing the workout after work. I'll end up working late, I have a special project I need to continue working on from home.

Then there's personal stuff that comes up - my sister's birthday, various celebrations, etc.

It's always something.

But I think the point is how well we can deal with what life throws at us.  I mean, don't we all feel better after a workout and then we're better able to handle all of life's pressures? So really that means getting in some form of exercise during the day is the best natural medication we can take to deal with life.  Better than aspirin, better than an anti-depressant. 

My own personal goal for March is to complete the 21DF program all the way through.  Today - March 1st  - is Day 1. Just completed the Total Body Cardio Fix workout and feel GREAT.  I'm now drinking my Cafe Latte Shakeology and about to go vote (it's Super Tuesday!) before heading into the office.

I need to remember this feeling that I have RIGHT NOW after working out and having my Shakeology - and right now I'm feeling fantastic, strong, and ready to face the world.
