Featured Fave: The Power Within From @TheFitLounge

We all set out on our journeys gung ho to make it work, to get it right the first time, to ace it and think there is NO obstacle that can stop us.. AND THEN WE HIT THAT WALL

This is with anything.. not just weight loss or fitness journey but any journey we set out on through life. Some want to be financially fit and debt free but hit a few snags in the road. Some power through with some adjustments.. others give up and quit.. The same with weight loss and  fitness goals.

We have to tap the power within us. Whenever I set out on a journey I always pray and ask God for guidance and assistance along the road. It’s NOT easy and there are too many distractions and some in the form of FRIENDS & FAMILY who are there to deter us from our goal. I’ve noticed some of my folks also use their higher power to help them through their
journey’s.. whatever religious/non-religious path they are on.

When Trish asked me to write a guest post I thought about what to write. Then I figured it would be of a true reflection of what I’ve come to know of Trish since we befriended each other on twitter some 9mos ago. I don’t always comment on posts because I am usually reading from my BB during my commute in or from work. I try to comment when I can or when the spirit moves me.

When I think of Trish, I see a strong woman who continues to tap her power within. Through the UPS, DOWNS AND ROUNDABOUTS.. She still manages a way to MUSTER up the courage to continue on. I’ve watched her go through the mamavation campaign several times and withdraw once.. because she had bigger fish to fry and took the selfless approach and
put everyone in front of her ONCE AGAIN. As a mother, I totally understand.. as a significant other.. I totally understand and as a caretaker I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND.. but over the last few weeks I’ve watched her transform…to this even STRONGER woman who regardless of the
circumstances SHE WILL GET THROUGH IT ALL.

She has finally realized that she has the support of family, friends and internet buddies who truly have her back no matter what... SHE WILL ALWAYS BE A WINNER. She is finally tapping her power within and using it for herself... not just to save the greater mankind.

They say what you give out you get back… Trish gives out so much and she is finally open to receiving it back… I look forward to traveling her journey with her even if it’s only from the sidelines as I shake my pom poms in her honor… I’ve learned a valuable lesson from her and she probably never realized it… Her tenacious spirit and unselfishness of how she continues to
dig deep down inside has inspired me to continue to do the same on days when I am ready to give up. We all have those days/moments and it’s the unsung hero who saves our day and they don’t even know it.

Thank you Trish for being the phenomenal woman you are and helping me to rediscover MY POWER WITHIN.

In Fitness,
BK
