Making a Difference

So in my attempt to change my lifestyle and get healthy I have made some decisions.

The first is I love exercising when my 6 month old is in her jumper. She thinks it is the greatest thing to watch me and the videos. This reassures me that I am teaching her values in taking care of herself, and that I want to be the best mommy possible.

The second thing is to take part of some type of marathon every month. I am hoping to find at least one awareness raising marathon to work towards a month. My first goal is a 5k working up to a half marathon. A way to give back and have a goal.

The third thing is to volunteer with the Special Olympics. Sometimes, I make excuses on why I can not do things. Giving to event will keep me motivated that if someone that has more challenges than I can do it , then I have absolutely no excuse.

I realized that I have just been surviving day to day and not living the way I always wanted to. I always wanted to make a difference and be active. So it is time to start being me! :)

I am always here for motivation, support, and friendship; so please add me :)

    Those are excellent goals and motivation. Sometimes it's all about, "I wanna look hot in Daisy Dukes". Looking good and getting compliments is great, but I really like the challenges you have set for yourself. Very well thought out. I'm sure you will do great.
  • Thank you soo much!
  • great goals! I love the idea of improving yourself and helping others at the same time :smile:
