Yesterday morning a friend and co-worker stopped by my cube; we sometimes chat about weight loss and also how we share a love for baking. Carolyn stopped by and shared this huge bit of news with me: she has decided to cancel her cable so that she can join a gym!
She explained that it's is really such an easy habit, to sit and watch tv and not get up and get moving, and how she was always saying she could not afford to join a gym. Talk about a bold and brave move!
How remarkable is that?!
I am so excited for her and what lies ahead.
Understanding how important lifestyle changes are when it comes to acting on our own behalf to get healthier is crucial to keeping it off long term!
At lunch, I headed out to run my 4 training miles I had scheduled.. It was a warm 55 degrees outside and I was excited to get out there.
I typically run laps around the warehouse, but on a whim decided to run out to the main road and see what it was about. Being a creature of habit, this was a pretty crazy thing for me to do. I thrive on safe routine.
I had intended to run down the flat part of the road. Instead, I headed toward the big hill knowing I'd have to run it to go two miles out and back.
Before I could talk myself out of it, I thought about Carolyn and how she was boldly making a huge change and just doing it and taking action. So, I followed her lead.

Thanks for the inspiration, Carolyn!
