One of my favorite things about going to the gym is the opportunity to catch up with my friends. I get to run into old friends I haven’t seen in a while. And I get the opportunity to make new friends at the gym because I LIVE there right now. There is nothing better than having a friend with you during a workout. Maybe it’s a friend that will push you to try a new workout. Or a friend that will laugh with you as you fumble through a class. Maybe a friend that will bring out that competitive nature in you and push you to work harder. My favorite is a having a friend that you can chat with and before you know it you’re done with a great workout. A helpful reminder for me is to make a personal commitment to my workouts and vow not to let workout buddies schedules influence my own workout schedule. You know how when your “buddy” can’t make it to class that day, then you decide to give up and not go either. I’m thankful to have a group of friends that like to workout, so there is usually someone I can drag with me to the gym. Or even better, someone that will drag me to the gym. So a shout out to all my workout buddies who make my workouts more fun…. Sarah, Jessica, Jen, Sara, Katie, Kari, Flicka, Bethany, Cara and of course my hubby Shawn.

So we’re down to the final few weeks of the challenge and I’m surprised to find myself filled with a bit of fear. Have I done enough to reach my challenge goal? With only a few weeks to go, I have to stay committed to my food tracking and my workout schedule. Anyone else dreading those final pictures? Since I’ve seen my “before” pictures, I’m a little nauseous just thinking about having more pictures taken. I’m praying for MAJOR changes. Lastly, I’m fearful of ever going back to the way I was. I like the way being healthy makes me feel, but for me I know that it comes down to daily commitments to staying healthy. What keeps us from falling back into old habits? Maybe it’s the fear of going through all the hard work again. Maybe it’s just the fear of taking another terrible “before” picture. What will you use to keep you accountable?
