I hate it, but I love it.
It’s a phrase from Tony Horton, the fitness guru, in his P90X videos when talking about Ab Ripper X.
This is the one that makes your abs look like you don’t eat, but could also allow you to remain shirtless during your holiday celebrations with the family.
The phrase is interesting, because I have dabbled in this workout training for a while now…Every time I do it, I hate it.
But I love it.
I am also gonna keep my shirt on, because my commit percentage is hovering around 19 percent.
There is so much to hate and love right now in life.
Madelyn is close to her license..I hate it but I love it.
The end of the school year is this week..I hate it but I love it.
Sports tournaments won and lost..I hate it (For the kids)..I love it (For an ounce of free time?)
My mom’s dog passed away last week, but she is no longer sick and in pain.
I hate it and don’t love it because of how it affects her so deeply.
And maybe you can relate with whatever is going on in your life..
That yin-yang emotional roller coaster that you internally debate with each passing minute.
Lots of moments of sweat and tears for a fleeting moment of joy.
It’s….Worth it.
Because life isn’t easy, and people have stuff..and that stuff weighs more on them than a trip to the Golden Corral during swimsuit season.
Allow yourself the escapes, the vacations, the small wins, the accolades, the likes on the social.
Take care of the people that matter to you. Protect them and celebrate their wins.
And abs are dumb..But in just the right light and with just the right filter..I have a 1 pack.
All my best as you figure out life and the relationships in it.
XOXO Glenn
