This post is for all of you out there that are feeling so close, yet so far, from reaching your goals.
You've been working at the same goal for what feels like a lifetime and you're ready to be done with it, but you won't quit what you started. I feel ya! 
I'm 8 and a half weeks into my training right now, and I have to admit, this is hard! 
Sometimes people get the impression from my positive attitude that this is easy for me. That somehow I don't have to fight for it, that I'm naturally fit.
 Nope! I fight for it! It's a daily battle
The truth about fitness, the very nature of it, is that it's a fight, a fight against weakness. The only thing that makes it easier is a passion, a burning desire, a will, to get stronger, better, faster, and fitter than before. 
I want to be the best. I want to be strong. I want to be able to handle whatever comes my way. This is why I fight. (figuratively of course, haha, I wouldn't hurt a fly I swear) 
My point is this: It's no use to wish that fitness was easy. Easy isn't good. Earning something through hard work, consistency, and dedication is what's truly fulfilling. This is why you keep going, keep challenging your limits, and put in your honest effort.
Keep pushing my friends. We are in this together, let's get to those goals so we can celebrate after!
