Unity

Sometimes in the morning hours, I can hear at a distance the sound of bells ringing from a church close by. I find the noise a bit soothing knowing that there is a group of people who are planning to gather for the same purpose in the same place. I think about how there is strength in that unity. I also think about how that is very much needed in the process of weight loss.

I know I've mentioned before that if you want to reach a goal, surround yourself with others who already reached that goal. Awhile back ago, I began my process in taking a sneak peak at other people's websites that have the mindset of making fitness a priority. I also spent time with the owners of my son's former karate school. Both of them put fitness at such a priority and have a passion to see others live that life. I heard story after story about people losing weight, about poor health issues being cured, about fat turned into muscle and even witness my own husband drop about 40 lbs. There have been times where I've felt that I was riding the wave of good health by taking a good look at what I put on my plate and my families plate. There have been times where I made an effort to work out a little more and there have been times where I felt as if I was watching everyone progress in their health journey from the sidelines.

Whatever the season is, I know that this will be a life time journey. I'm still a work in progress and know that losing weight is not an easy thing, it doesn't only consist of what I put on my plate or how much exercise I put in. A large part of it consist of being in an environment where I can thrive because as I said earlier, there is strength in unity.
