Fit Fridays: Get a Buddy

So, we are trying to be healthy, right?  Want to know one of my best secret weapons?  My running partners!  I have logged hundreds of miles with these two.  We've seen pregnancies, miscarriages, and babies.  We have had husbands that have worked too much and kids health concerns.  We've had super fantastic runs and lame ones.  BUT, they are what gets me going.

So - find a partner.  One that you know will meet you at 5 am because that is the only time you can get a run in.  And you know if they say they will be there, they won't flake.  And it doesn't have to be just a running partner.

This is after half-marathon #4 - I hope they aren't going to kill me for posting this.

Anyone who knows my husband knows that food isn't a big deal to him.  It is easier to eat healthy because of him.  He isn't craving dessert late at night.  He doesn't bring home giant sodas.  Food just isn't his thing, so it is way easier for me to not make it mine.  He's my diet buddy.

Also, the more you talk about something, the more committed you become to it.  You have a buddy who will keep you accountable.  That is so helpful!  Even if they aren't going to run or diet or whatever.  It helps to have someone ask how your goals were.

Challenge:  Find that buddy and tell them your wellness goals!  I'll be your buddy - it is one of the reasons I started Fit Fridays.  It holds me accountable!
