Hold On

This morning a friend of mine had this on her face book page and I thought that I’d share it. It was very motivational and so true.

“For those of u who don't know I have been training for a fitness competition! Is it hard to eat clean for 50 days? U bet! Is it hard to come home to home cooking and ignore it? Absolutely! Is it hard to spend 15+ hours a week working out and see the scale stay the same? u bet ur ass it is!! Will I be ready in 30 days? Maybe not! But I will eventually be ready! What keeps me motivated? It's a song I play on repeat when I want to quit! It's called Hold On by Sean Paul. Have a listen! It's for anyone busting their asses to meet their goal especially when they don't see expected change!”

This process is freakin’ hard and she is right it is not easy to eat this clean for 12 weeks, to spend, on average, 3 hours per day training plus keep up with all the normal daily tasks in life, such as, work, house work, cooking and so on only to find that you aren’t getting as lean as you should be or you aren’t dropping as fast as you expected. But is it worth it? Of course it is, if it wasn’t we would have all given up long ago.

Here is the song she is referring to and the lyrics are also below:



Hold on to the dream, hold on
Hold on now, now
Hold on and believe
Oh we already won, we still hold on
Hold on, hold on now, now
We still hold on
Hold on, hold on now, now
Hold on to the dream

It is done I'll see you there
I know you're well prepared
Put aside all your plans
God will answer all your prayers
Might seem that no one cares,
Been working hard for years
Keep climbing up the stairs
Gotta know that you already there
Blood, sweat and the tears now
None of them can take the shares now
Enemies better be aware now,
champion's got a lot to bare now
I'ma tell it as I'ma swear...
I got the... I got the stairs
Carry on until we see the sun,
We holding on

Hold on to the dream, hold on
Hold on now, now
Hold on and believe
Oh we already one, we still hold on
Hold on, hold on now, now
We still hold on
Hold on, hold on now, now
Hold on to the dream

Although the road is long we still hold on
We carry on, we still stay strong
Today is long but tomorrow will come
Hold on, hold on now, now
... cause now... strongest fit
... trouble and grief
Hard times will never get you beat
And you never will get defeat
Come all strong... concrete...

Hold on to the dream, hold on
Hold on now, now
Hold on and believe
Oh we already one, we still hold on
Hold on, hold on now, now
We still hold on
Hold on, hold on now, now
Hold on to the dream

I know the road is long we still hold on
We carry on, we still stay strong
Today is long but tomorrow will come
Oho, oho, oho, oho, oho, oho

Hold on to the dream, hold on
Hold on now, now
Hold on and believe
Oh we already one, we still hold on
Hold on, hold on now, now
We still hold on
Hold on, hold on now, now
Hold on to the dream.
