I Know You Can!

When I tell you that you can do it, I know you can.

When I say push a little harder, I know you can.

When I tell you this is one of the hardest things you'll ever do in your life. It is. But, you know what? I know you can.

I come from a place of experience. I know what it's like to get the stares, to not fit in booths, to not having the seatbelt fit. I know what it’s like to get winded walking to the mailbox or the car. It’s hard. I know, really I do. I understand. It’s not the way to live, so I changed my life. I know you can too. You are stronger than you think.

This was me 2 years ago.

I did it. I am still doing it. I know you can too. Let's keep going at it together, taking it one day at a time.

My trainer still has to get in my head. There are plenty of times where I think there is no way in the world that I can hold the squat a little longer, lift a little longer, run a little faster, and of course adding that dreaded pulse at the end of some exercises. She lets me know that I can do it, constantly reminding me that I am stronger than “this.” I can’t tell you how many times she’s told me to “get up” while continuing to offer encouragement. When I get up, I finish what I started. We always end strong. Sometimes when I am struggling in a major way she will do it with me, and let me tell you if that doesn’t get you motivated nothing will. But we always, always finish strong.

When I’m done I feel great, I feel a self of accomplishment. I feel strong.

We can only ever improve; let me help you make your improvements. Life can be so much more. I promise!
