Commitment

I figured out what I've been missing all this time. The past two years of wondering why I'm not successful at getting "fit". I've been seeking happiness through fitness, however it would have been nice to be seeing results as well. For a while with my CrossFit I felt like I was getting stronger, but then the gains were lost. 

And that's kinda the point I'm making today. I purchased fitness equipment and gym memberships. I have dozens of DVD programs... but I never committed to them. I thought that one of the hundreds of "fresh starts" and "first steps" I took would get me somewhere, but it's not the beginning that makes a difference... it's the persistence throughout the journey.

The past 3 weeks I've worked out every day and have been eating clean (well, pretty clean). Something has changed. I've committed to doing this every day and sticking it out when it's hot and sweaty or my DVD skips or when coworkers are gawking at me in the break room doing yoga. It's not even hard to do it because in addition to committing to my health and fitness for my own reasons, I'm also doing it as a coach for others.

Ennui 2 Energy is my new venture, an organization designed to offer support and help for people who want to get fitter both physically and mentally. I've partnered with Wellness Coach Nikki and we're using our combined skills and more importantly, PASSIONS to make the world a better place through connecting with other people. 

I've committed to this. I'm succeeding.
