Are you committed? Do you think others see you as a committed person? LOVE is a commitment and to show loves takes commitment. I believe I am a committed person. I am committed to my husband, my family, my promises, my goals, my mission, my dreams, etc…. Being committed keeps me going when I want to quit. Or when I have feelings of fear or failure. I have those feelings all the time…
For instance today, I didn’t want to keep a workout date with my friend/photographer Emily…I tried to rationalize my way out of it. Tried to see if the weather would allow me an excuse. I even gave her 3 or 4 chances to back out on me, lol! But, I held strong and stayed COMMITTED to my promise to go workout with her today. And you know what IT was WONDERFUL!! We both had fun, WE both needed it and We both made some great business contacts in the process. Because of my commitment I showed Emily that I LOVE her and realized showing love to others often makes us feel loved in return.
So today for my workout…I visited a gym named FUEL in the neighboring town of Springdale. I got to see an old friend of mine Paige White who used to work at my regular gym. I also got to meet the manager and a couple other really nice staff members. FUEL is a REALLY cool gym! It has all the bells and whistles so to speak~ including really cool lighting, cardio equipment and of course WEIGHTS!!
Anyhow~ Emily and I basically “tested” the equipment and she will be visiting there often over the next month with her free month pass. I bet she’ll join the gym too!
In addition to my “weird” and probably ineffective 2 hour gym time, I did 11 mins of intervals (5 hard mins) on my u-bike followed by pull ups, sit ups , CATS and stretching. It was a good little NIGHT CAP of a workout.
Everyone here is semi-healthy so I am getting stuff done again and it feels good!! Also, my BIL is here and he assembled bunk beds for Tia and Layla and a bed for Gunner today~ And my MIL cleaned while he worked!! I am so Blessed to have “helpers”
I am committed to you!
Good night~
Michelle

Went to the beach this week and I fell climbing a hill and I have injured my knee. I am so sad, only 10 days left in my Sexy in 70, and now I am unable to complete. This happened when I was to do a half marathon. Why can’t I see anything through?! It isn’t fair!!! Sigh.
Sorry! But I bet you accomplished a ton in the 60 days!! You can feel free to still submit an entry~ You will overcome this injury- keep the PMA!!
I am committed to never giving up.
YES!! That’s SWEET!!
day #30!!!!Im proud of myself!Thanks Michelle for the inspiration!!!!
Committment is what I need for my clean eating. This is alot of hard work. My exercising comes easy. But still takes the “C” word. I working towards a goal for Aug 6. Im going to think small/short term.
i am committed to doing a figure competition in march 2010!
Do you mean 2011?
Hey I L.O.V.E trampolines .. can’t wait to get mine went to sports academey and they are reasonable! I remember alot of childhood memories on it.
cool!! I hope you get it soon too!
I have a trampoline and love to do my cardio on it instead of the floor as it is non-impact on the knees. I definately get a great workout.
good deal!
I am committed to my workouts…..love the way it makes me feel and look
I’m going backwards
STOP it!!
Isn’t it great when you make yourself do something you don’t want to and you get some extra blessing for doing it!
i am committed to working out 6 days a week and with my 12 year old daughter watching me and imitating me it keeps me going!
fun!!
I am committed to working out 6 days a week. My husband of 23 years and my trainer (also my husband) He helps me every day! with everything. He does all the cleaning and laundry so I have time to workout every day! I AM COMMITTED!!!!!
what a lovely hubby!! you are blessed!
I am committed to the gym and giving my arms attention even after a 22 mile training run for a marathon.
WOW!! a marathon is such a commitment…one I don’t have the mental capacity for…Good LucK!
I am learning too to commit…that has been a big problem in my entire life. Seeing you and your great rockin body motivates me, and my prayers to the lord is helping me commit more
Thanx so much for being you 
Oh you are sweet, THANKS!
So many times I do this, I back out and find some excuse to not do things. I love reading your messages, makes me re-evaluate myself. I actually tried the “legacy” approach yesterday, and it felt great. I’ve always wanted to get one of those mini trampolines for inside of the house – ever use one of those, if so, how do/did you like it?
If you get a mini tramp, be sure to get a good one with springs…the cheap ones only work for kids, lol.
Glad you are working on your LEGACY!! THAT ROCKS!
You are so right! commitment is a big part of success. I know after a long day, sometimes the last thing I want to do is hop on the treadmill, I’d rather snuggle down with my kids. I just don’t give myself the option of not doing it. No matter how lukewarm I feel about it at the beginning, I always feel great and energized when I am done. You never regret exercising!
Yep, I never do either…I have to shut off my brain usually in order to get started.
I am committed! (Although today I took off because me knee popped out of place yesterday evening and it is feeling not so hot tonight) Hopefully by Saturday (next leg day) it will be better.
Ouch! take care of it!!
this is just what I needed today Michelle. I was feeling a little blue after Thanksgiving here-put on 5 pounds in the course of a week and a half. It’s so easy to do when you’re traveling and off schedule. BUT-I am committed and I know that if I just put in a good week or two now, I will be right back to where I was before. Thanks for the encouragement.
That’s the important thing to do after a holiday or vacation…get back at it ASAP!! days off can turn into weeks off if you don’t~
also realize that weight is not “real” weight…most of it is water and glucose. those 5 pounds only become real if you keep “celebrating” for weeks at at time!
God Bless, Michelle
I am committed but not seeing the results I want : (
Do you know what are you doing or not doing that’s standing in the way of your goals?

Can you tell me what kind of browser you are using? it works for me on Firefox
I was having a hard time talking myself into going to the gym this morning but I made a commitment to myself to get healthy so thank you for the reminder. I’m off to the gym…
that’s commitment!
Yeah, commitment is important, as long as it’s commitment to the important things.
so true!
Thanks for the words about commitment. I was able to get in about 20 min upper body workout. I had a big home day today. Thanks for everything.
Lora
HOME days are nice, I love staying HOME all day sometimes!
thank you for your commitment and encouragement. I met with my trainer today in an attempt to help me with meal planning.
good~ I hope it’s helped you!!
Commitment is what makes success!
