sharing the road

Well, time has passed since I first started this new way of life. As I have said, my husband is on board with our wellness plan. My sister-in-law has begun to exercise and watch her diet in her state. But tonight is the beginning of really stepping out by helping and encouraging others. It is about being an inspiration to someone and then watching others continue that inspiration. It is about watching and being a part of someone doing something that is going to prolong their life. It is about working hard and having others to fall back on, especially when you are having difficulty. Tonight, family and friends, seven total will share the experience as we work out together in a fitness class. I am excited for everyone and hope that this program contributes to healthier lives for us all.

The first class is done and I am so proud of everyone out there. The trainer assessed our skills. His demonstration and modification of exercises for the advanced to the beginner was awesome. He knows that we are all different, but expects us all to do our best and give nothing less. I know that each person there is capable of moving forward and gaining knowledge about health and exercise. If one person meets their goals or performs better by the end of the class, then satisfaction is abundant. You know when you take the first step you can be resistant and hesitant. And while some of them may have been, they all came around and did what they were asked regardless of how difficult it was for them. Sharing the road is going to be fun and challenging. We will all be out there moving, starting and stopping, driving ourselves fast or slow, and watching out for each other. This is truly the start of a new venture for a common goal. There is truly a warm feeling in my heart tonight.
