Fit2Fat2Fit Blog: Day 6

Exercise doesn’t just improve your body. It also sharpens your mind.

My goal this 12 weeks is to perform better when I’m physically and mentally exhausted.  To learn to stay focused on what is truly important and allow the small stuff to slip past by me.

I didn’t do that well today.

I slept three hours last night. Why? I’m very worried about the health of a couple of family members who are close to me. I could have slept in — but I didn’t. I showed up and did the work. Yes, I made mistakes — and I paid for them.

I ran off the field disgruntled; mad primarily at myself. But I fought through my fatigue. A journey to mental toughness requires days like today.

I’ll never get athlete of the year. But by God, I’m not going to quit.

And that’s half the battle.
