Sometimes All it Takes is a Beautiful Woman

My friend Dana called me yesterday, she asked how the gym was going. I quickly thought about telling her a lie. I admitted I haven't been going. Her reply was I am picking you up at 7. At 6 I got a tx make sure your ready. I did 5 miles on bike and looking forward to going back tonight!!

Good for you! Good for Dana!

7 PM? When I first read it, I thought, early bird, up at 6, at gym at 7AM. Start the day off with exercise.

Good luck with weight loss. Stepped on scales for physical, I'm in same situation except no gym for me. Long walks with dog-he needs to firm up,as well. Scales told me why my energy level was down. Dang holidays and company meetings......

Having someone to work out with is so encouraging. A friend of mine started coming more often. She says I really motivate her. Now she and I get up at 5:00am some days to workout at 6:00am. Other evenings we lift weights.

You just have to be committed Nyboy. Hopefully your friend will help you out till you reach the point where you are strong enough to go by yourself. If you go at the same time, same day, you will eventually meet the same people and that helps.

Keep it up!

Meeting people there, expectations, commitments ...

I'm able to entertain myself, motivated to set my own standards, take unjustifiable pride in self-sufficiency, communication impaired, reclusive -- still, I can't do without commitment. I learned that I can be a self-starter but mostly, it is because I preferred doing so to self-mortification and guilt.

See, there is the thing. I'm disinclined to do anything unless not doing will cause others to suffer. Others = other people, other living creatures, anything I'm bound to by commitment.

What a life!

@Nyboy it sounds like she is more a Friend than just a Beautiful Woman! Just any pretty lady probably would not have been able to motivate you to go.

Now that's a good friend. Those who work out with a buddy have a higher rate of success too.

 

[Nyboy]

your right she is a good friend. Did another 5 miles last night.

So impressed! You're doing great, keep it up.

Weighted in last night lost 6 pounds. Dana wouldn't let me see her weight, judging by her mood after not much loss.
