This is the Essential Part!
Discipline is so important.
Discipline is honestly what has changed my life and what I know can change many other lives as well.
About 7 years ago I added the discipline of daily workouts to my life.
It was a hard discipline for me to undertake, especially because I was both overweight and extremely lazy.
And when I say lazy, I mean... Lazy beyond belief.
I would spend nearly ALL my time in my house and would barely leave it.
A part of it was body image and a major part of it was just that I felt like shit all the time.
Working out was terrible at first..
It was so hard and so frustrating and so embarrassing... I just hated that feeling that people were looking at me and judging me for what I looked like.
In reality, there was so much to learn and so much room to improve.
Over time, I educated myself about fitness and nutrition... I became obsessed with the knowledge that you could have about this stuff and I began to love going to the gym.
Fast forward 7 years and now my greatest addiction is working out. I get intoxicated at the mere sight of the gym.
I love that I started this 7 years ago and I wouldn't trade lifting in for anything else! It will be a staple in my life forever.
