So what was the gravitational pull that lifted me up off the couch, away from my computer, and kept me from sleeping most of the day? A Good Friend!!!!!! A Facebook message, really. Asking me if I still go work out at the Y. This was a friend that I had not seen in almost 2 years. We agreed to go work out on a Tuesday afternoon. I couldn't believe how amazing she looked. So there we were on the treadmill just shooting the breeze, catching up on old times, gossiping about former co-workers when all of a sudden, 90 minutes had passed and I had almost forgotten that I was working out. She even got me to run a little. I discovered how out of shape I am. It was at this time that this dear friend said something to me that made me realize that I needed to fully commit to making a change in my life. She told me that I had inspired her to lose weight weight and get healthy. Because 2 years ago I had lost 20+ pounds before my wedding day. It feels good to be an inspiration to someone else. It is giving me the fire to go back to that person I was. I just don't want to let her down. But most of all, I don't want to let myself down.
Tuesday afternoons is a Kickboxing class and I have made a commitment to go with her each week. The rest of the week is up to me to get up and go work out.
