A friend of mine was praising me saying how proud they are of me for getting up every morning and working out. They said "Anh I don't know how you do it." All I could think in my mind is "I never think to myself, how do I do it, I think of all the reasons why I should do it."
I told him "I appreciate you taking notice but do you know how many people have kids, 2 jobs, are twice my age, have illnesses, yet still manage to get up and work out? I'm not the one who should be getting praise, if they can do it, there's no reason why I can't. Any reason on why I wouldn't is just pure laziness and settling for mediocrity in my life. What drives me to get up every morning is thinking of all the reasons why I should get up, not why I shouldn't:
1. To stay healthy
Here's an example of one of the many drinks I blend and drink throughout the day.
I blend it with water to puree' it and have this as my snack in-between my meals. I'm getting a ton of fiber along with a ton of vitamins and my 5 servings of Fruits & Vegetables, if not more, every day.
2. Working out stimulates the production of endorphins which makes you a happier person and you are left with a feeling of exhilaration which can be addictive (not a bad addiction to have)
Someone asked me if I always smile and I said "Yes, I have no reason not to"
3. I want to look sexy in my clothes - who doesn't? When your clothes fit better it makes your confidence go way up and we could all use a little more confidence, don't you think?
Studies show working out not only burns fat, but decreases your risk of getting cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and the list goes on.
If this is not reason enough for you to get in the gym, here are more examples of why you need to:

IT'S A LIFESTYLE!!!
