It's great to me that some real good friends of mine are taking on their own personal journeys. Les, Sara, Pete... it's heartening to be surrounded by folks who are also taking the arduous steps towards making themselves more healthy. It's also terrifically cool to feel the support waves wash back and forth.
It got me thinking that the journey I'm on is obviously about food and weight but what about my friends who have used 2011 as a springboard into personal journeys don't involve that, but rather something else that will make them their own kind of healthy. Casey who runs cuz it makes her feel good and Brad who changed his business cuz it was time to. Both are good friends who work on moving forward. I guess it's the time of year when we prize that sort of forward motion, keeping ourselves warm with the glow of (sometimes hard fought) achievements while the snow whips around outside.
I want all of these folks to know how proud I am to have them as friends and how much they motivate me.
If I seem elegiac tonight it's cuz I have my first official weigh tomorrow and I wanted to say, no matter what the scale says I know I'm on the right track and in good company to boot :)
love you too xo
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!
ReplyDeleteJourneys can be long or short but as long as you see the end goal ALWAYS, you'll get there. I wanted to be a Black Belt by age 40. Not only did I achieve that (with about 2 months to spare) but I went on to grade 52 other people to 1st degree over the next 10 years. Moral to the story: surround yourself with like-minded people from all walks of life.
