Every once in a while I treat myself to a workout at the Talisman Centre because my favorite instructor Margaret teaches an intense class there. Part of the reason I go is for her little tidbits of motivation.
This was today's:
"Someone sent me an email asking me if she could get slim in 14 days. With a magic pill. I told her, keep your hard-earned money. Do what you know works. Put one foot in front of the other. I call it the head up, eyes forward diet. The breathe on the body in front of you diet. The run faster, jump higher, work harder diet. Do what works. You don't need to starve yourself. You don't need to eat some strange food. You need to get your heart pumping and your body moving."
You don't know me Margaret, but I'm the girl with the red sweaty face kicking butt in the back row for 7 years now :)
Margaret probably doesn't know how she's been an influence on your healthy lifestyle. You probably don't know how you've influenced someone in the world. Each life touches others in some way. I'm going to try and get my healthy body back on track once I'm home.
