Creekwood 702 Posted June 17, 2013 So a lady stopped me this morning around mile 4. She lives right around the corner from me. "I see you walking every morning when I'm getting my coffee. You look great, you're losing weight, your posture has improved, your gait is faster. You are doing great, it motivates me to get off my butt and get moving" man that made that last mile easy! It reminds me to show up and work hard because you never know who's counting on you for motivation! I remember that I used to be embarrassed to exercise outside. I thought people would think "oh look another fat guy trying to lose weight, bet he gives up in a couple days." I don't know why I thought that just did. But I've been busting my butt walking/jogging between 1-5 miles 6 days a week for about a month now. I even completed my first 5k! Keep working hard everyone, you are someone's source of motivation, whether you believe it or not!! 18 aviva1979, lilmispcl, bindi and 15 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creekwood 702 Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks everyone! It was awesome and I'm happy that this has motivated others to get active as well!! Yesterday I spent 4 hours at the zoo and today I'm at the Water park (2 hours already, probably be here another 2) my son is loving this new active lifestyle!! . 3 aviva1979, lilmispcl and Debbie3sons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
