I get it...

I just want you all to know I totally get it. We are all tired of working hard to lose weight, maybe it isn't coming off fast enough, maybe it isn't coming off at all, maybe you are just sick of it and want to eat some freaking cake.

I.get.it!

But remember how excited you were when you started in January? Remember how New Year's rolled around and you promised you weren't making a "resolution", but were just changing your lifestyle-- the way you ate and exercised?

Well it's April. And my friends, April seperates the life style changers from the resolutioners. Been to a gym lately? It is getting a lot quieter, a lot more machines are free, and you can almost always park in the first three rows.

Take a break if you need it. Give yourself a few days off or a week off. Then get back on the train and GO!! April is a hard month, we get tired, we don't want to lose weight anymore, we don't care if we are going to be chubby, we just want to eat and not kill ourselves working out. Then comes May, it gets hot outside and we remember "Ahh, hell-- it's almost time to put on my swimming suit and take the kids to the pool, sprinkler, lake or whatever.... sure wish I would have pushed myself through April." I promise that even though bathing suit shopping surely sucks for every single one of us, whether we are a size 4 or 24... you are going to feel a lot more confident in that despised dressing room with those stupid lights that add 20 pounds to no matter who you are, if you can just PUSH YOURSELF THROUGH APRIL!!

We have already lost I think 3 people from lack of weigh ins. The competition is close for about 3 of you, but we still have 2 weigh ins left, and a lot can happen in 2 weeks people!!

Remind yourself who you are, who you want to be, and don't forget that everything that is worth anything takes work... and you can do it!!

Now, go bust a move and put down the cake. :o)
