They say misery loves company...

but I say, everyone loves company when they're doing anything that requires motivation! I have been working on getting into better, healthier habits. As a previously, self-diagnosed "starter," this is a problem! I love to start things and my own personal fitness is no exception. I've been down this road many times but this time feels different. I have taken a brutally honest look at myself and realize that if I don't change what I'm doing now (or rather what I'm not doing) then it will be too late! I need to feel healthier, happier and less stressed. NOW! So I began doing what I did all those years ago when I was taking much better care of myself.

I found a group of women across the country, all of whom have a thing or two in common. I've asked them if they'd like to form a sort of long-distance support system. Sometimes it's easier to work with people you don't really know than to count on family or friends- there's just too much history and emotional baggage there.

I've had 3 respond and am waiting to hear from 2 more. We will kick off our program today as I'll be emailing them a questionnaire so that we can all set and share our personal goals as well as let each other know just what kind of support we need! I can't wait!

Let the journey begin! :)
