Who Keeps Me Going…

Each new day is an adventure. And with that comes a sense of accomplishment. Whether the goal is to get to the gym and bust out a killer cardio session or simply eat clean for 24 hours – it takes the support of that special someone to motivate you to the finish line.

The person in my life that pushes me to exceed my goals is my fiancé James. I can share my everyday, mundane activities with him and he helps me to find victory by the time I go to bed. Now, just imagine if you were prepping for a competition or a photo shoot and had no one to confide in, no one to vent to when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Doesn’t seem like there would be much point in engaging yourself with what lies ahead on your path. However, when we know our better half celebrates what we achieve – then it gives us a greater sense of purpose.

What makes my situation somewhat unique is that James and I are currently living on different continents. Thank goodness for Skype. It allows us to discuss what we are doing in the gym, what’s working and what’s not. When I get a new shipment of Cellucor products, I hold the bottles up to the webcam and tell him what the benefits of each supplement are. He then goes and tells all of his Marine Corps buddies how proud he is of me and how they should all be taking Cellucor, too.

It’s being able to share our intimate thoughts with each other that keeps the bond strong. James is my best friend. And as any friend should do – he doesn’t always tell me what I want to hear. Sometimes, I want him to feel sorry for me. However, if I make the decision to compete – he’ll give me that kick in the pants when I’d rather sleep than go to the gym to have a date with the treadmill.

Be thankful for the people and blessings that are closest to you. They can be your greatest motivation, inspiring you to always be at your best!

Yours in Health & Fitness,
