I have struggled along the road of weight loss for my enitre adult life. I've been up and down and back up and down, I've cared, I haven't given a crap, I've celebrated and I have sulked. I haven't yet given up for good thankfully but I constantly find myself needing two things to help get me into the groove - one is a new action plan and the other is the support and inspiration of people around me. Inspiration is infectious - you give it and you don;t even realize it. You get it and it changes everything. Today, my best friend gave it to me so I started this challenge group hoping I could gather a few like-minded people who are also on this journey.
I feel like I am at the begining of a new chapter in my own evolution. I started a new job last year and my free time has been very limited. While I am in love with the job and am positive it was the right move for me, what I failed to realizze until just now was that I was going to have to change up several things to go along with this new adventure. I couldn't work out the way I have for the past several years and this was the source of a lot of stress and disappointment in myself...which led to me eating poorly...which led to more stress and disappointment. Rinse and repeat.
I met someone in the past few weeks who reminded me that I am the one who controls how I feel and if I don't like the way something is going, it's me who can change it. So now I am taking yoga for the first time (it's on the ground floor of my office building - no excuses!) and am looking into a hula hoop class and some other cool things that will serve me for this moment in time. I'm excited for this new adventure :)
And now I need to get a hanlde on my eating plan which is why I have invited you all to partiicpate with me. I want to be accountable to you and also support you with your goals. I want this to be a fun and helpful SAFE place where we can unload and inspire each other.
So glad you chose to come along - LET'S GO GET IT DONE!
