"Gonna Fly Now"
By Terri S.
I feel awesome! After weeks of sluggishness and a bad case of the “lazies,” I just hit the gym and had a great workout! I went over 8 miles on the stationary bike and almost 2 miles on the treadmill. Then, I finished up with some light arm weights, and I am bursting with energy and feel so great. Why have I been slacking off when I can feel this good? I kind of feel like Rocky Balboa running those stairs right now with “Gonna Fly Now” blasting the background.
One thing I noticed at the gym is the sense of community that one develops. Community is so important when one is undertaking anything new. Like the community you can develop at Lean, Fit, and Healthy! You need encouragement and you need to know that there’s someone behind you cheering you on. You need someone you can complain to when your muscles ache or when you don’t have the energy. But you need someone to sing you an anthem when you feel like me right now, high with exercise endorphins.
I’d love to hear how your experience with Lean, Fit, and Healthy is going as well. How are your goals being met with this innovative program? Do you feel stronger and healthier? Has community made a difference in your journey?
And since you are part of my community for fitness, I must tell you how excited I am about buying clothes in a smaller size this week! I go back to work in a few weeks and I got rid of a lot of my clothes that got too big at a garage sale. So now I’m getting the joy of buying smaller sizes. It feels great! I can’t wait to be one of those chicks at the gym working out in only a sports bra. J But that time will come.
Ok, guys. Thanks for all of the support. I’ve gotten lots of notes on Facebook from you so keep that up. I love hearing from you. And when you hear someone in the background humming “Gonna Fly Now” when you’re hitting it extra hard at the gym, that’ll be me.
