I REALLY, REALLY need to meet people in Colorado with this lifestyle!!!
So, the thought occurred to me yesterday that I really have absolutely no support here and that I really don’t know anyone out here who is into the "bodybuilder’s lifestyle" aka eating clean, training hard, active lifestyle.. a lifestyle that isn’t based off of going out for drinks or going out to lunch every other day or simply sitting at home and watching movies (although that last one..movies is my vice when its rainy outside)..
Don’t get me wrong, I have met some incredible people out here but none that seem to have a hunger for activity like I do or who "get" why it is I am eating brown rice, chicken and broccoli instead of the pizza they are eating. I have always been pretty independent and done what I will but lately I have been thinking it would be nice to just meet one person to keep as a friend to go hike with or go train with or something of that nature. I am somewhat reliant on you people (people of the bodyspace world) for motivation but I think I have hit that point where I can’t just do everything by myself anymore or more or less I don’t want to.
SOOOO Any ideas on where to find people here with this lifestyle bc I seem to be having a hard time with it all.
thx
Andrea
PS Happy Thursday!!!

What about googling for hiking clubs, biking clubs, running clubs, etc. in your area? That could be an avenue for making new friends with similar interests.

I tried that at one point but didn’t have too much luck.. I may try it again though. Thx

One other thought: Post up something on a gym bulletin board (if they have one). That way you could also meet them at the gym……a relatively public & safe place to make sure you’re not connecting up with any weirdos. Good luck & keep charging.

I can understand where you are coming from. Now, I may not be quite as active as you, but not being able to share what I am trying to do or have someone with me to enjoy the workouts, ect. can be difficult. Even my own family just don’t get it. My brother, most of all, who used to work out at his home, isn’t even as active anymore. I figured he would want to go once in a while with me to the gym, but I huess we all have our seperate lives.
Hang in there. Something (or some people) will come along for you. Just don’t stop. Keep doing what your doing and good luck.
