Another Fitness Friend.....

Posted by SLauer00 Jan 15, 2008

I am excited to say that.........my fiance has joined me in the weight loss/fitness struggle!!! We have been walking together and motivating each other. Its really great to have Jeremy working along side me. The peer pressure of eating fast food or laying on the couch all night is gone. We are now using peer pressure to get each other moving and eating healthy. Together, we wrote down weekly goal and long term goals. We are now accountable to each other. It feels great! The best part of all is that our ultimate goal is the same.....Be slimmer for our wedding on July 12th!!! We want to feel better and look better for ourselves and each other. Our next plan is to attend a healthy cooking class together. I have definitely noticed that when I work out I have no urge to eat crappy food. I am so excited that Jeremy and I are now helping each other to reach our goals. I will let you know how Jeremy does as well.

That is GREAT news Sara! Teamwork in fitness, weight loss and life. Your journey will be a successful one for sure. I love that you have set a goal to go to a cooking class together. Sometime in the next week I would encourage you both to set a goal 5K race in March or April The Go! St. Louis Family 5K Fun Run would fit perfectly with your training and right in your home town too! Having another carrot is a great way to continue to progress your walking and eventually running regimen.

Let us know what race you select and push the button and register together.

That's awesome Sara! I agree, it helps a ton to have a training partner and I am happy that you found motivation in that. I also love the idea of a healthy cooking class. Great job...keep up the good work:)
