Your Best You..

I heard something awesome the other day that's been weighing on my mind for this entire week. It's a quote by Olympic Track Runner and Creator of INSANITY workout, Sean T. He said something to the likeness of 
"Stop looking for people you want to look like. You'll NEVER look like them because there's only one them and one you. You'll only look like the best you, NEVER like anyone else so don't aim to be someone else, be your best YOU"


DANG.
I think it rang true to me because I've become so obsessed with working out trying to reach this fitness goal of having a beach body by May 1st that I've lost sight of why I had this goal in the first place. I had the idea that if I work hard I'll have that hot Jillian Michaels body.

When in reality, that's a CRAZY GOAL. According to my genes and just the way my body is built, there's no way I'll look like her.
BUT, that's totally fine with me.
I'm not quitting my goal. I'm going to change my perspective and reset my path so i look like my best ME. The best Andrea Veenker I can be.
I challenge you all to do the same.
:)
Love you all.
(PS I'm saving to do Sean T's INSANITY work out! Check it out! It's not for everyone but it's worth a shot!)
