Some Words Of Encouragement
Saturday, December 1, 2007
Today I was out with an old female friend for dinner and some coffee (err no, I don't drink coffee, but she does).
We haven't seen each other in like 8 months or more. The first thing she said was "heyyy you slimmed down! And you look different, been working out?" and started poking my arms and gut. Then she commented "wow harder now".
Really does wonders for the spirit. Every day I look in the mirror while working out and I curse at the image for not looking any different from the day before. Now along comes someone who knew what I looked like "before", and now that she's seeing the "after", there IS a difference to her.
So, this really gives me a boost to my determination to continue my workouts and living a healthier lifestyle. This gives me the push that seemed to be lacking the past couple of weeks.
I told her I'll meet her again some time in March or April.... so that she can see whether I've continued to slim down and "look different".
I need to go out with people who haven't seen me in months more :)
