My 40th birthday was earlier in the week, and one of my dear friends conspired with my hubby to throw me a surprise party on Saturday morning. The biggest surprise of all was the appearance of my Bestie!! She lives out of state and we don't get to celebrate birthdays together much.
The day continued in wonderful fashion...full of fun, laughter and time with friends. BTW - all the gals brought some very sweet gifts....all coffee themed of course!
Today, after a delightfully relaxing morning, my Bestie presented me with yet another present. See, I've mentioned before that in addition to being, well, besties, we've also been pushing each other to workout and lose weight. Typical of busy adults, we start and stop. We also regroup and try again...and again...and again. The best part is that we both support each other, understand our limitations and challenges, and help each other work around them. We also know when to back off and let the other person deal with their own challenges, and when to pull each other up and give a little push.
In keeping with this, my Bestie presented me with matching fitbooks for my birthday. Together, we lingered over coffee and created a new plan, organizing our first week of workouts and setting our 12 week goals together. While the book itself was a terrific gift, I truly cherish just having that time together.
The book itself is really nice...it combines a workout log with a goal plan and a nutrition checklist for each day and week of the 12 week cycle. The thing I like most is its apparent ease of use, requiring only enough writing to make sure you can accurately track your progress while being small enough to fit into your purse or gym bag.
Since this is the time of year when most are reviewing and setting fitness/weight loss goals, I recommend checking it out.
It will be fun to continue this journey with a new tool...even more fun to see progress!
