Role Models

Well...it's been awhile. I've not kept up with this daily but I am still on track with the workouts. Today was day 50. That's right, day 50! Still going strong-wouldn't say loving this second month. I'm not an hour a day kind of exerciser especially when I'm super busy. This time of year is spent doing my favorite thing of the year and gearing up for Max's birthday. It's hard to fit it in but we're making it happen because that is what we said we would do.
I had the opportunity to spend the weekend with some absolutely amazing people. They're amazing on so may levels but what I want to speak to is their inspiration when it comes to fitness. I told some people that I was doing the workout in the theater and all kinds of people came to join. Women from their 60's down to the 12 year old tweener. Everyone did what they could and tried their hardest. What a testament to the power of staying in shape. The power of doing what you can day by day and keeping it up. I looked around at these women and felt so proud to be amongst them. They were proud of the hard work I'd done but I couldn't help but feel inspired by them. Everyone has a story and the fact that people just joined right in because they wanted to push themselves was lovely. It made the workout go by so much faster and was truly my pleasure to be amongst them.
Today I am thankful for FOTOG. I'm thankful for the people that go that make it so special year after year. They lead by example in so many arenas and they make me want to be a better person. I have 12 days left of this challenge...it's time to finish strong!
