I have been a bit of a hypocrite the last few months… I have not been following my own mantra of living the “KokoInspired” life…  In fact, I’ve been doing quite the opposite!  And… If we’re being completely honest, I have been extremely frustrated with myself and my actions of late.  I have to remind myself that the whole reason I decided to blend two of my favorite things (Koko Fitclub & Product Red) and created this blog, and by association… creating my so-called “KokoInspired” lifestyle is because I know that when I live this way I feel so much happier and healthier!!!  And “happier” and “healthier” are not how I would describe how I am currently feeling… Again, I have been feeling the exact opposite!!  The correlation is clear (at least to me)… So, I need to stop complaining, stop making excuses and stop feeling sorry for myself… & just do what makes me HAPPY!!!


I know the old adage… “do what makes you happy,” & It seems so very simple… find out what makes you happy, and then get busy doing it!!!
Well… I can tell you what makes me happy, and feel the best about myself, and life in general.  However, what I can’t tell you, and what is the most maddening aspect of this all, is why I continually self-sabotage my very own happiness!!!  It’s so very frustrating, and it REALLY needs to stop!!!  I need to stop rationalizing my choices and my behaviors…  I NEED TO STOP MAKING EXCUSES!!!

So… Once again I find myself in a familiar place,
standing at the “starting line,” of a race I continue
to fail to finish!!!  I decided to use the race analogy because this past weekend was the Falmouth Road Race… a race I hoped to complete this year, at which I failed miserably!!!  As race day passed I found myself trying to determine why I always seem to start out so strong… only to give up and quit the race!!!  I wish I could say that I had an epiphany, and
that this time will be different because I found the
answer!!!  Truthfully, I’ve had the answers all along, I have just chosen to ignore them… & I’ve paid the price for that!!!  I know what it takes to succeed… the question is “am I ready and willing to put in the WORK???
