Paying It Forward?

I am truly inspired by the challenge several of the member of my office are taking on. They have put their money where their mouths are! They are doing a 12 week weight loss challenge that I asked them to try. To be honest I didn't think they would go for it. It's a scary venture and trust me several were on the fence and some still are. But you have to start somewhere. Even if you have failed time and time again. This time could be the "One" time you really get it together so you can't give up or you may never get that one time. Several of them have told me that I inspired them to pursue this and that just touches my heart. The crazy thing is they inspire me, they motivate me to keep it up. You can't let people down that look to you as an example. So far there are 7 1/2 people participating. LOL I say 7 1/2 because one claims he will start on Friday but it's all good! If I am able to see them through this journey and they change their lives to be healthier and fitter then they can pay it forward to someone else. It's a cycle I hope to inspire and keep going. I told them it's not about the money. In the end if they all lose weight then that's the reward right there but several hundreds of dollars can be a hell of a motivator! I will keep you posted on their journey. I have offered them tips, all of which I have shared on this blog before and the wealth of information that is on the internet alone is really all the tools that they need. There are no excuses and there are no secrets burn more calories than you consume and the weight will melt off period! Eat healthy! Eat several times throughout the day. YOU HAVE TO EAT TO LOSE! I preach it all the time. They joked and laughed about how they were gonna eat air sandwiches and that there were gonna bring in donuts to sabatage the others. They even snitched on one that had KFC for lunch. I told them I am not the food police! They know what to do it's all mind over matter, put your mind to it and nothing else matters!
