Adina’s Cute & Perky Blog!

I was on the elliptical at lunch yesterday when a gym buddy comes up to tell me congratulations. 

And that reminds me, I forgot to tell y’all…

I’m on page 36 of the November issue of Muscles and Fitness.  It’s just a little picture and letter that I wrote.  Nothing big, but it’s in there!

He had such a funny reaction.  You see, he’s not a close enough friend to know that wasn’t my first magazine.  I know it’s a chance that not a lot of people get, so I am careful not to brag (too much!).  I tell the ones who will hurt me if I don’t.

He has a subscription to the magazine, so he just happened to see me.  And the surprise reaction it brought was priceless to me!

But aren’t surprise reactions the best kind?

But just like Carlos would have never found me in the magazine had he not opened it, there are a world of surprises waiting for you….if you open your magazine!

There are things you will learn that will surprise you along this journey.  I guarantee it.

If I had not ever started this journey, I would have missed so many little surprises along the way…

I like to exercise.

The gym is like a second home for me.

I can be in a room of people eating junk food and not partake.

I can pack my cooler day in and day out.

Seeing the shadow of first noticeable muscle is a thrilling experience.

Going to a bodybuilding show is just about the most fun thing I ever do.

I never tire of listening or talking to people about losing weight or making changes.

I can set a goal, meet it, and maintain it.

And all of these things surprised me. 

Now, I’m used to it.  It’s just who I am.  But if I had never taken that first step toward good health…look at what I would have missed.

If you are overweight or out of shape, you are missing out on so many wonderful surprises.  And we need to do something about that.
