Honor Self Promises

Chandi Schwab
It is very important to promise yourself you will finish what you start, no matter what. That vow, although it may be easy to break, is by far one of the most important ones to honor. The very essence of confidence is self trust. Would you trust anyone who repeatedly lied to you? Someone who broke the rules of the game again and again? Of course not. It is easy to slip into patterns of not honoring promises that we have made to ourselves. If we can't honor,trust,and depend on our own word it will result in many challenges. For example...I love to run outside, but I am not a big fan of the treadmill. I have made a promise to myself that I will run at least 2 miles on the treadmill while at the gym. No one else knows about this promise but I hold myself accountable and make my self do it no matter what. Sure it is only 2 miles but it really makes a difference. Try this in your workouts. Make promises and goals for yourself and don't let yourself down. After all, if we are not true to ourselves, what is our significance and self worth? Keep up the great work!

Workout tip:Bench Dips:(These are great for triceps)Stand with your back to a sturdy bench or chair.Bend your legs and place your hands on the front edge of the bench.Position your feet in front of you so most of your body weight is resting on your arms.Keep your elbows tucked against your sides,bend your arms and slowly lower your body until your upper arms are parallel with the floor.Your hips should drop straight down.Straiten your arms to return to starting position.
Nutritional tip:Hopefully you have all been making shakes(with protein powder).Here is a little tip.You can throw veggies in for added nutrients.Try spinach, kale, or carrots, you won't even notice taste wise.
