Support from a friend and the real reason for joining Bodyspace
Today I met my bodyspace friend Wicked_Witch at Lake Eola park in Orlando, Florida. We had a great time while walking around the park a couple of times. We talked about our nutrition, our exercise, our families, our jobs…basically a little of everything that shapes us and makes us who we are as people. It was a great motivational moment for me, because with all challenges I’ve experienced in the past couple of months, I was really feeling my motivation go down. With no support from ANYBODY around me, it’s hard not to get down because you try to explain what you’re doing but unless the people around you can relate to it, they just seem to look at you like you’re crazy….crazy for eating six small meals every 3-4 hours…crazy for drinking mega amounts of water…crazy for getting up at 4:30 to get the gym and exercise….crazy for eating so much chicken, veggies, fruit and taking supplements on top of that….crazy for not eating greasy, fat filled foods or lots of sugary snacks/desserts…..well the reason this "crazy" opened a Bodyspace account was to get support and valuable information for all those other people that have gone through, are going through or are getting ready to go through this part of our lifestyle change. Honestly, without the support of all the friends I’ve made on Bodyspace, I think I would have fallen back into a complacent, unhappy lifestyle and would have given up…..
So to Wicked_Witch: thanks for an awesome Saturday pow wow and we’ve definitely got to schedule some more of these! You’re an inspiration to me and a very positive influence…keep up the good work!
and to all my other Bodyspace who are not as close but always are encouraging me through their comments and private messages…….
THANK YOU AND YOU ARE ALL VERY VALUABLE TO ME!

Me and my wife get that whole "what the hell do you do it for" speel from her family all the time, my family is a lot more active and although they dont workout they dont discourage any of the "crazy" things we do to get fit.
Good luck with your goals and remember they are just that YOUR GOALS!
