SMACK!!!!

OK......I love to encourage.  I love to play "Jillian" and I even kind of secretly love it when Tara calls me "Jill".  I love to boost people up and push them.  I love to leave message on Facebook.  I want to see people succeed.  I want to see people out and pushing themselves to accomplish things that they thought that they could not do. 

I got smacked today.  I mean literally hit upside the head.  I have this wonderful sweet friend named Amy on Facebook.  She is working ever so hard on the "Couch to 5K" program and I am so excited and so very proud of her.  She had no idea that what she typed today on Facebook would literally smack me and wake me up.  "Are you still running where you are? Don't see many posts- that's how I follow you!"  I read that and thought.....OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!

Facebook is great!  I love it!!!!!  For many reasons.  At the same time when we lived in Greensboro I would always post if I had gone for a run in Country Park or even at The Rush or whatever I had been doing or where I had been running.  My goal in that was to encourage others.  At the same time in the back of my head, I didn't want to come across as bragging.  That is one thing I didn't want someone to misinterpret.  In this instance, Facebook was what Amy had been following and I had not been posting.

Confession Time!!!!!!-- I could give you a million reasons why I have been a Slacker.
We moved
I was sick
We had company coming
We have been so busy
I had to much to do
I was tired because I had to much to do
I am just not motivated
I don't want to (sounds like a 2 year old)
So, when she posted this statement, I decided I can't stop.  It is NOT an option!  So, to Amy.......THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
I have now been back on Map My Run and have mapped out about 3-4 runs for me around town.  I know where to go and how to make a huge loop or 2 to make up my mileage.  I have a gym to work out at which will be somewhere I plan on visiting for weights.  I don't have a Whole Foods or Earth Fare and my Wal-Mart is not very "Organic" but they have nutritious choices that I have not been doing.  We have a grill that we can cook plenty of veggies on. 

All of this being said........If you follow me on Facebook and I haven't posted something.......SAY SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!  Don't hold back.  I have set my goal.  I actually got on a scale the other day while Kaleb was at Karate.  I was in shock so Amy's comment was right on time! 
Here's the deal...........You keep me accountable....I'll write and encourage you and keep you accountable. 
What are your goals?  What do you want to do?  I think I will make a poster............I'll share it when I am done. 

Game On,
Pam
