Thanks, Linda
Woman in the Middle | July 30, 2015My neighbor Linda and her husband Dick just finished moving to Long Beach. The weather is better and the kids are closer down there. They were great neighbors and I am sad they are gone.
A while back (a year? an year and a half?) Linda decided to join our local fitness club. That would be the fitness club I already belonged to and never visited. She told me about the boom class they had, for older adults. I am not proud. I can exercise with anyone. I figured it was better I moved my body with a bunch of folks who were older than me than not move at all. So I went. I kept going because Linda was going. I need that kind of motivation.
Then I got my Fitbit because I wanted to keep track of my steps, since I was taking more of them.
I haven’t lost much weight but I am much more fit due to the classes and me being more conscious of getting up off my booty and moving more because of the Fitbiit. Heck, earlier this week I walked over 15,000 steps in one day and lived to tell the tale!
All of this increase in exercise and fitness is directly 100% due to Linda.
Thanks Linda!
Well. it’s too bad she moved. I hope you find another motivator.
I wish you lived nearby so we could do the walking and gym classes together! Congrats on your progress though and don’t give all the credit to Linda. You had to do some of this yourself!
