Figure out how to "Just Do It"



I'm on the road and haven't kept up with my Blog about daily commitment to fitness. But, I have kept up with my daily commitment to fitness! Not easily, though.

This blurry photo is me "pumping" iron at the Quantico Marine Basic School. Sorry, no photos of marines. Gotta trust me on this one. I'm lifting weights instead of doing Sports Yoga because I was already creating a "stir" by being in this marines-only gym and really didn't want to draw any more attention to myself than I already had. But, believe me, I soooo wanted to drop down and do a few planks, upward dogs and Warrior Ones......

What's my point in blogging about this? Well, it's about the whole daily commitment thing. Where there is a will, there is a way. It's 103 degrees here with a heat-index of over 105 degrees and there is a severe heat advisory posted. What does that mean? Don't go outside unless you have to. I'm staying in a hotel with no fitness facility. No outdoor anything is possible. So, before I resorted to running the halls of this Holiday Inn, my brother (who works at the marine base) was able to get me in his gym.

Now, if that had not been an option. I would have run the halls of the Holiday Inn, done some push-ups, dips, sit-ups, planks, Sports Yoga in my room. Why? Where there is a will, there is a way. Why do I have the will? Because, I know that taking care of myself is not about whether or not it's convenient to do so. It's necessary - it's a priority.

Think about it. What's more important than self-care?

So, for those of you who travel a lot, who have kids with many demands, who have a life with many demands - I challenge you to find time, to make time to take care of you first. Find the will and there is a way.

Stay-tuned. I promise to keep up on my blog as I travel back from Virginia to Colorado....I may yet be running the stairs at my next hotel.
