Wasted Day for Rhymer Fitness is a Great Day for “Daddy Jason”
SSSHHHHHH! Keep it down…I’m in whisper mode. My baby girl is finally asleep and I thought I would send you a quick note. Something hit me today as our daycare plans fell through and we had to call an “audible” about how to be good parents and still get our work done for the day.
At first, I thought, “Great! I am stuck at home and all of the emails, projects, clients workouts, etc. that I needed to get done, just won’t happen.”
Then I thought, “This is the last day my baby will be 11 months and 1 week old.”
Hmmm, that’s a reality check. Suddenly my work felt very small in comparison to a much bigger responsibility and priority in my life.
Here’s your training takeaway from that thought. It’s a new perspective on Carpe Diem (Seize the Day)…
Tonight, I am starting a new kettlebell routine and this will be my last opportunity to train as a 36 year, 3 week, and 6 day-old athlete. In a way, each workout session should be a celebration that we have the ability/opportunity/luxury of working out. The fact that you have a body to move should be a celebration that we embrace and cherish.
Today, don’t sweat the last few pounds you have to lose.
Don’t kick yourself for putting down the weights on that last set.
Don’t worry that you are not doing the right program for the results you want.
Celebrate the life and body God has given you!
Live with Strength,
Jason
