I hate making decisions



I hate making decisions.  When it comes to work related issues I can quickly choose the best option.  However, when it comes to something involving myself or regular day to day things I have a tendency to quickly shut down.  You don’t believe me ask my boyfriend.  He is usually patient with me but every once in a while the “Just make a decision Hilary” comes out.  I mention this because it took me approximately 4 weeks to decide to start this blog.  In typical Hilary fashion I kept thinking “Why do you need a blog?”  But the reason is actually quite simple.  I need the extra motivation to keep on the path of rediscovering my inner athlete and a better Hilary.

I started competitive swimming at the age of 5 and was a varsity swimmer in college.  Swimming has played a huge role in my life however I have found myself avoiding jumping back into the pool.  Don’t get me wrong I love this sport but I am a full time Swim Coach.  I spend my life molding and motivating athletes to be the best they can be.  It leaves me with little motivation or energy to swim or even work out. 

The past four weeks I have been running or working out five days a week.  I already feel better and I want nothing more than this to continue.  My hope is that this blog gives me the extra push I need to keep on this path.  Again this is something I should have started four weeks ago.  I have experienced some great moments but of course the fear of making a decision got in the way.   I hope I can continue this.
