New Years reality

I was going to upload an inspirational quote for this post but my hubby insisted I share my ridiculous pj's. I am definitely wearing a Mickey Mouse onesie right now. It's unreasonably unflattering but that's more than made up for in comfortability! I digress...so today as everyone went back to work and school and real life, the reality of our New Years Resolutions reared their ugly head. It was exciting to make my goals for this year over the holidays when I was lax on my diet, enjoying more rest, and having fun with my family. It was a lot less fun to wake up at the butt crack of dawn, to sub zero temps, and hit the gym. It wasn't the most fun to trade the spaghetti and sausage I fed my family for dinner, for raw zucchini noodles and 99% lean ground turkey. I made those sacrifices for a reason though. I have a goal that I am going to reach and nothing is going to get in my way. I know that when we apply this attitude with conviction to our lives, that we can truly achieve greatness. A sort of greatness that at this point we couldn't even dream of. Knowing our potential makes sacrifice meaningful. Transformation become less about the sacrifice and more about getting that much closer to our goal. That's how I'm going to try to look at my 6am workout tomorrow at least!
