Valentine’s Day is coming up. And I’ve been thinking about my Prep and the support I get for it from my family.

I honestly don’t know if I could do this without the support of my family.

I mean, I could do it. I just don’t think I could give it as much as I’ve been able to give it, so far, without their support.

I’m so lucky that Ben is into fitness as much as I am. He’s actually way more athletic than me. He’s always been the one in our relationship to “take the lead” when it comes to physical and mental fitness.

If he wasn’t supportive I’d basically have to say screw you guys this is what I’m doing. And, I couldn’t do that! 

I don’t always feel like going to the gym.

And, there are days that I get sick and tired of counting my macros and calories!

If I didn’t have a supportive partner it would be so easy to get derailed on the days that I didn’t have as much motivation as I usually do.

There are days that I’m just plain tired. And there are days when I just want to eat garbage!

If I didn’t have my family’s support I could easily be talked in to taking a night off from the gym or going out for pizza!

But, Ben is in my corner! When I feel like taking a night off or eating cake Ben will be like, “Nope, you’re going to the gym and I’m going to go with you!” He’ll work out with me even if he’s already worked out twice that day just to help and support me. And if I want to eat garbage he’ll be like, “Go look at your abs in the mirror and then decide if you still want to eat that!”

Thanks, baby, for always being in my corner!
