“The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is now.” -Unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quit waiting for the right or perfect conditions to get started! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be so easy to put things off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We say we will wait till we lose more weight to start training for that 5k we always wanted to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or wait till that bathing suit fits to play with our kids in the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you know what. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why we must start today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might end up being years and we’ll look back and wish we had started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if it’s just 10-15-20-30 minutes a day working on whatever that thing is for you…it will start to add up and soon you will look back and be so glad you just did it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Versus not doing anything and in a few years looking back with regret, imagining where you could’ve been if you had just done something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So don’t wait! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don’t over think it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially with exercise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can totally relate though as I went through period where over thought it. What to do to and how to get started again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of just changing clothes and doing something consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suggest focusing on how you’ll feel after – not thinking about how you might feel during! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one ever regrets a workout or exercise \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no need to make it complicated. I do and suggest strength training 2-3x\/week and some cardio – running, walking, anything you enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just get started and do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point I was super fit, racing and training a lot – even completing an Ironman!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure what happened but I had fallen so far out of shape, gaining over 50lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So then I wished I had just kept going and never stopped but I can’t go back and change the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I just get going today to change today and the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now I see this journey as Jen 2.0 with what I’ve learned. I know so much more about nutrition and I’m also stronger now. Muscle is so important as we age!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s become a big motivator for me. Yes, I enjoy running and doing races, but the bigger motivator is aging well and staying healthy and active! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So get started today. Let’s get fit together!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
