Inspiring others

When I take my walks, I typically post them on Facebook using Nike id or map my walk apps.  My friends have the opportunity to 'like' my status or leave comments, which they lovingly do.  It feels great knowing your friends are supporting my fitness activities.

After a long day of fun in the sun, I got a Facebook message that made my day even better. This is the message:

'Hi Juvella , How you doing ? I wanted to let you know that you Inspired me to start walking . I saw your post on fb and thought boy I should be doing that to . I've got some lbs to lose . So now I'm doing map my walk . It's great I love it . I just started this week . So thanks . Take care'

I had no idea that my walk post would inspire someone to get walking themselves.  But it sure made me feel glad that I did!

Independence Day

For me, Independence Day is not only about saying Happy  Birthday to America, firing up the grill, and spending time with family and friends.

  It's about being able to stand on my own two feet!

I went skating fir the first time since March 2012 and I had a blast.  I was a little scared at first, but the fear didn't last long at all.  And what a workout, too!  I had a blast out there.  I gradually stopped skating next to the wall with more confidence.  What a good day!

Have a Happy Independence Day!!
