Excuses

Oh, I've got plenty of them. 

Today, my back is so stiff and painful I can barely move. I haven't left the house. 

I can eat healthy, though. I can do some stretching and yoga. 

I have legit diagnoses - bulging discs, degenerative discs, arthritis. 

I could sit and decide to be on disability but no thanks. 

I choose alternative treatments such as essential oils. Chiropractitioner care and acupuncture. 

Determination. 

I could be diagnosed with fibro - but I won't go there. When my whole body hurts and trigger points are agony, I drink lots of water. Tea with honey. Exercise through it. 

Every day my body rebels. 

Every day I have a choice - excuses or excellence. 

I have a goal of having the best health I can. 

Some days, like today, are tougher than others. 

I'm in pain. 

I do what I can do to strengthen my core and wait to begin again tomorrow. 

Victim or victorious. 

The choice is yours.
