It's soooo amazing and true how once you put the energy out there, it comes to you!

Some of you may recall a thread I posted a few months ago stating how I needed new healthier, fitness minded friends. Well, in the past two months, I've made friends with three new healthier friends! It's sooo wonderful! One gal is my massage therapist who is looking for a buddy to go on hikes with and take classes with at the Y. The other two gals are friends I met through church. The super cool news is that one of the gals just moved in right around the corner and our boys hit it off just great! Both of the gals in fact have boys my son's age!

I am sooo blessed!! Wohooo!! Walkin', hikin', workout gal-pals!!!

Yay, Pam! It does take some effort, but it can be well worth it! I'm glad you found some people who are like-minded! Have fun!
 
Thanks, Tricia! I got to talk to my new neighbor a bit yesterday and we have soo much in common! I can tell we will become great fit-friends! :D

Happy Sunday!

That's great Pam. It's always so nice to workout with friends that are equally excited to exercise. You can keep each other motivated. Keep up the great work!:D
 
Glad you found some, Pam!! I wish I had some, too. I've got plenty who talk about WANTING to do it, but none who do. *sigh* I feel like they don't get me sometimes. I've got one friend from a long time ago who I've just reconnected w/ on FB - she actually still lives in town, who is starting to run. I'm trying to get her to do a 5k with me, but I don't think she will. Says the furthest she's gone is 2.7. I told her if she can do 2.7 she can do 3.1, she doesn't seem to believe me :( Say's she'll do it some day. Just like my boss, she's always going to the gym "tomorrow" I asked what is wrong with "today" or "yesterday" but she doesn't have an answer. *sigh*

Glad you found someone, I will continue to look

My Cathlete workout buddy, Janis, is an incredible friend and my daily emails with her are a huge part of my fitness journey. We commiserate about our owies, we celebrate each other's accomplishments, we cheer each other on, we are there for each other. My runs are more fun when I know I can go home afterward and tell her about the guy on the corner that offered me a joint as I passed at 6:00am and the toilet sitting on the sidewalk, just as I really needed to go. Your fitness friends don't have to be physically close to you.

Ah, yes. Another "Morningstar is always right" :p:p;)

I know what you're saying, and there is plenty of friendly support here and on FB. But some days it would be nice when I'm doing the pregnant cowboy walk the day after one of Cathe's leg workouts to look over and see someone else doing the same thing! Although, I suppose if that is the only thing "wrong" in my life, I'm doing ok!

Hi all!

Thanks soo much for the responses. I plan on "using" my new friends for workout buddies as well as just healthier friends. These are gals that seem to want the same balance I do. Some chick-flick nights with naughty food and wine as well as, actually, mostly who want to get together for healthier activities I mentioned in my original thread. Also, it's to walk, hike and workout with gals who can keep up with me and don't call me obsessed, crazy or insane for the amount of working out I do. These gals clearly find fitness a priority in life and walk the walk, hike the hike, step the step!! :D:D

Yeahh for healty people and for the awesome Cathletes out there!
