External Motivation ... friends helping friends

Well, I'm back in the saddle.  As much as I enjoyed our time in Myrtle Beach in August, it really messed up my mojo.  I just could not get back into my routine.  As discouraged as I already felt, I couldn't get motivated enough to begin again but here I am after an 8 week hiatus, starting my Life Redux, with the help and motivation and basic bitch slapping of a very good and longtime friend, Angel.  

I saw him last weekend at my brothers house for a Wine Tasting party and when I realized he was there, I couldn't bring myself to face him as he is what got me motivated this past July in the first place and I felt I had let him down.  He didn't criticize me though; he just looked me dead in the face and told me it was OK and that I should just get back to it.  He said he would hound me everyday be it by text or phone just to make sure I got out there to do SOMETHING....anything.

Sexiness is in the eye of the beholder.
A great figure is nce, but it's
self-confidence that makes
someone really sexy.

Well, true to his word, he called me this morning and told me to get off my ass and start my journey towards sexiness.  He wasn't accepting any of my lame excuses either (i.e. – I just got out of the shower, it’s late in the day, my hair will frizz…blah, blah, blah).  “Give me 15 minutes and walk, that’s all I ask,” he said.  And so I did.  I set my Run Keeper app to track my progress and begrudgingly, at first, I set out to do 15 minutes, which turned out to be almost 33 minutes, I walked 2.18 miles burning 232 calories.  Boy do I feel great!  I need another shower but I do feel great and proud to have gone out.

So thank you, mi querido compadre, for caring enough to be true to your promise to get me back on my way to SEXINESS!!!
