What is Your End Game?

My husband and I have had the same conversation in many different ways and many different situations. The conversation always starts with him asking me, or us, what is it we want? What is the end game that we are hoping for? The question has come up in financial conversations, in deciding the next step for our business, parenting battles, etc.

What is the end that we are hoping for?  If we can't answer that question, if we are constantly trying to figure out the best way to handle the day we are never moving forward. I know it is easy to lose sight of the big picture when the daily grind is hard enough, but it does help to make the daily grind worth it.

So how does that apply to fitness? Each day there are many battles that will be won and lost, especially during the holiday season. You may start out the day with a run and green smoothie, two battles won! But hit the office party and hard, enjoying the open bar and dessert bar, two battles lost. Instead of dwelling on the two battles lost that day celebrate your wins and know that you did indeed make it one step closer to your spring race (an ending to be excited for).
