pain /gain (F.C. W8)

in life people will use metaphors to inspire 
and to help get through situations
we often use quotes to speak our own minds
music lyrics to express our emotions

but there comes a point where we stop using the words of others...
and we use our own!

in the journey of weight loss and transformation 
you are pushed to your brink
you are forced out of your comfort zone

made to give up what you know for what you need
all in the name of a better looking
better feeling
and 
simply better you

much of these changes can be painful...
avoiding temptation, upping your reps, running an extra mile
how you view the gain is what counts!

do you see it as....

pain then gain
pain vs. gain
pain and gain
pain or gain

at the end of the day, 
what once was the greatest pain will be your greatest strength
and that is all the gain you need!

you have certainly gained a 
feeling of accomplishment and success
 that's what has been pushing us through this journey

now after 8 weeks you are definitely seeing changes, 
you are feeling more energized
and you should pat yourself on the back!

next week will we celebrate non-scale victories
lots of recipes are on the pinterest page hope you're pinning along!
