Small Steps

A journey of a thousand miles begins with
a single step.

Lao-tzu
Try This:



My husband, Steve, just came home after working 10 months on the mainland and, besides enjoying having him home again, we both realized how much easier it is to make healthier choices when you're doing it with a buddy.  We are tracking together, meal planning together and I'd like to say we're cooking together, but he's doing most of the cooking.  It is so much easier and more fun than doing it by myself.   That shouldn't come as a surprise but I forget that I don't have to do it on my own.  There is always support out there; I just have to find it, ask for it, or join it.

And not every buddy has to be support for everything.  Steve isn't joining me at the gym or for walks, so I have to look elsewhere for that buddy power. 

Buddy power does make a difference.  Who can you buddy with this week to get out and walk with or meet up and track with?

Who will you buddy with this week?   
How'd it go?


Did you expand your comfort zone last week?

Check with friends, family and acquaintances around you.  Someone you know might also be looking for a buddy.

My Journey:
Shawndra's AFTERFind us on FacebookFollow us on Twitter
I've lost weight twice before but I gained it back eventually.  This time I'm determined to keep it off and I realize that it's not a one time fix.  It's a journey.  And as with all great journeys, you learn as you go. 

 
I take these small steps with you each week because I also need to build and maintain the habits and behaviors that support me in my journey.  Thanks for joining me each week.  Have fun and enjoy your life!
