I'll stay in touch.

Miracles in our lives are the universe's life savers.. aren't they?

I'm on a journey here.. and who knows what all the destinations are. But the trip's been worth it. And if you think I looked fit last year, wait until you see me (OK.. see me arms!) this July!

The interesting part of the journey at the moment is more about learning (more) about to eat as a flexitarian. A part that isn't happening in the gym. In the gym, it's time for me to work hard on balance and flexibility. (oh yeah... I hate working on balance.)

Believing is the trick...

SocalMom,

Believing is the trick! I think I needed that voiced before I even realized it was a part of the equation. Maybe Torq can push you a little harder and get you started in this. (Great name for a trainer, BTW).

Yeah, the sessions are expensive, and a factor in timing them. (I will likely scale back to a once-a-week check in). It would be nice if these were tax-deductible health expenses wouldn't it?

Great job!

I was one of those who was very impressed with how totally fit you looked at BlogherCon, so it was very fun to read about the trip you took to get to that point. Way to Go!

Wow...what an inspiring and motivating story. I too need to get into shape. Not to be thin but for my health and mental well being. I was resisting the gym...thanks for the "insight". I will take a closer look at that.

I've had something similiar happen in my life recentely. I asked for and recieved spiritual guidance from an amazing woman named Robin Rice at bewhoyouare.com

I was in need of a miracle in my life and this lady has been the conduit that has helped me. So I agree with you "ask and you shall recieve". Not always in the way you think it will come.

Hugs and blessings to all,

What an inspiring post!

Like you, I concluded that I needed the incentive of an appointment with a trainer (I call mine Torquemada) to start getting into the habit of fitness. After our initial three-day a week contract, I had to taper off to once per week (too expensive) and so the results have not been as good as I'd like -- but I walked in to the gym today of my own accord and did a workout.

And like you, now that I'm getting close to goal, I feel it's time to mix it up a little. Torq and I are going to discuss my changed workout goals tomorrow, and I'm even a little bit excited about it.

I'm just not yet at that point where I BELIEVE. So thank you for reminding me of what I still need to do!

Thank you Laurie...

When BlogHer told us this was coming and asked me to a couple pieces this month, I was thrilled. It's not my "beat".. but this past year has changed me so much I wanted to share it!

I'm loving all the work coming out this series.. and can't wait as the mental, financial and all other kinds of health roll more fabulous pieces out to join these.

Debra, thanks so much for sharing this inspiring and beautifully written story.

This piece (along with Zandria's below) should be a primer for every person who's ever been intimidated by the idea of going to the gym or even working out at all.
