So there you have it...isn't it great to have motivational support when you're working hard towards your goals, whether it's a fitness goal or any other type of goal. That motivational support really makes you feel like you can do anything you put your mind to!
The group I referenced in the video is called FitFace, currently at 271 members. Join their group on Facebook, leave me a message letting me know you want to join and I'll invite you! Curt & Traci (my BIL & SIL) put a lot of work into this group - connecting with people, training together, and even creating challenges and events that you can participate in from anywhere. The current challenge is a Plank Hold Challenge - doesn't that sound like fun?! :)
Check them out!!

Thanks for stopping by to find out what I'm smiling about this week! And thanks for hosting Mandy. Am excited to see what everyone else, linking up, is thankful for!
Until next time...
Good for you for making better choices!! It's hard for me to stay motivated too, but I think sometimes there is just this 'click' where your body says, "OK, enough!" Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right, sometimes it feels just like a 'click'! I just have to work really hard at STAYING motivated too! ;)
DeleteI agree...it's hard for me to stay motivated! I have been doing Crossfit with Katie Parrish and if it weren't for her and the fact that we hold each other accountable I would have given up 2 weeks ago! I'll go check out this fb page! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! :) Yeah, I've been running, doing yoga and I joined a Crossfit group...and it's kicking my butt! But it feels good at the same time! Glad you and Katie have each other to keep one another accountable...that helps too.
DeleteGood for you for making such a positive change towards your lifestyle! Having an awesome support system is so helpful, I'm glad you've got one to motivate you throughout your journey! I know I'd be lost if it weren't for my husbands support in my dieting adventures. Ha!
ReplyDeleteGreat vlog! Can't wait to see next weeks! :) xoxo
Thanks girl...isn't it amazing what we can do when we have such great support?! Thanks for watching :)
DeleteWorking out and getting healthy with a group is the way to go!!!! I had a big run to do this weekend and there is no way I would have finished it if I were running by myself. Encouragement and support is half the battle in working out and getting healthy. Good for you sweetie!!
ReplyDeleteThanks & I definitely agree!! And great job on your run too :)
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!! I think this is awesome! Between your vlog & Mandy's vlog, I'm feeling inspired to start working out again!! Maybe I'll start tomorrow!! Fingers crossed!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! You can do it...one step at a time. I'm starting small, but doing a combination of things. It was too funny when I went to Mandy's vlog post and she also posted about working out :) I'll cross my fingers for you too!!
DeleteI am a huge proponent of healthy lifestyles so yay for that! It's so much better when you have others alongside of you making healthy choices as well. I think it's so funny that you moved from IL. I live in Bloomington but we desperately miss Charlotte and being close to our families. We can't wait for a job transfer to bring us back!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl...it really is! And it is funny, that we basically traded states :) Hopefully you'll make it back here soon! You should totally meet up with the FitFace group...they meet up in/near Bloomington!
DeleteI love this! I have decided I need to start running, but I don't have a Facebook so i can't see the group. :-(
ReplyDeleteYou can do it!! :) That's alright if you can't join the group...hopefully they'll get a website up and running soon. There are a lot of online groups out there that have the same purpose...just to motivate each other and hold each other accountable. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteBy the way, your totally cuts even after a run!
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks! :)
DeleteI am so bad about planning to run, coming home from work, and saying "I am too tired." Boo on me! I need to borrow your motivation!
ReplyDeleteGirl, believe me...that's how I've been for the past 6 months. I think it's just easier once you start...you just get on a roll. It's that first week, when you're tired and you hate it...you just gotta get past that! You can do it :) And you can borrow some of mine for sure!!
