Support System

I think it is so important to have a support system to help you achieve your goals and dreams no matter what they may be. A little over 3 months I was about to sign up for my first full Marathon. Before I submitted everything online, I had a talk with my hubby. I asked him if I were to do this, I will need his support 100%. That this requires a ton of training were I will be sore, tired, annory, and gone for hours. With no hesitation, he said "of course"  and I signed up.
I have tried to eat healthy and tried to lose some weight over, and over and over again but I just couldn't get in the zone. I would do good for a day or two and give up. I was so sick of it. I missed being healthy. I missed the way I looked and more important how I felt inside.
You can find a support system anywhere. Spouse, family, friends, facebook, online forums, pinterest, blogs etc. It's out there, you just need to find it. For me, I have a bunch of different support systems. Of course my hubby and even my boys. Yes they are young but they are always asking me what I did at the gym, how many miles I ran, and cheer for me at the finish lane after a race. My other support system that helps me is all the motivation quotes and pic that are on facebook and pinterest. It's crazy how something just as a quote totally get me going.  I can't forget about facebook and my fitness blog. You have no idea how all of you are my support system. I was so hesitant to start a fitness blog. I really didn't want to be that annoying person that only talks about fitness. I'm sure there are some that that think that, but why not be supportive of someone who is trying to reach a goal, to live a better life and so on?? I went back and forth about doing this blog and making it public. I knew that if I did this, that I better "own it" and kick some butt. I am so happy to say that my blog have been viewed almost 3,000 times!!!!!!! You have no idea how motivating that is. I get comments and messages all the time. I am so happy that I have all of you as a support system. You have all made this girl a much happier and healthier person. Thank you all so much.
Support systems are great for so many reason's. Of course to get you going and staying on the right track. To be there for you when you are so worn out and just exhausted. Believe me, it's not easy. If it were, everyone would be doing it. It takes determination, time, will power, strength, going to limits that you have never been before. I have had days were I cry after a workout or run because I am so worn out. You need your support system to get through your hard times and to say " YOU CAN DO IT" I am a true believer that you can do anything you want if you work hard for it no matter what your goals and dreams may be.
Thank you all again for being my support system.  I am excited to continue my health and fitness journey.

* Remember that you can find a support system anywhere and know that I am always here:)
