Finding Someone to Sweat with
By Bob Greene

We've all been there: The alarm sounds—it's time for your morning workout. But instead of bouncing out of bed for your daily jog, you start running through a list of reasons why you should stay under the covers—it’s rainy, you’re sore, you could use the extra 30 minutes of sleep, you don’t have any clean clothes. There's one thing that can help get you out of bed on these mornings: A workout partner. Knowing that you have to meet up with a friend is usually enough motivation to get even the most workout-resistant going. After all, you’d be letting someone down (besides yourself, that is) if you didn't.

"Envision yourself where you want to be, down to the hairstyle, outfit, body weight, etc. Then wake up every morning and believe you can get there. And dangle a carrot if you have to! I used to have a pair of jeans hanging in my kitchen to remind myself to stay the course. Enjoy the journey of reclaiming yourself. It's so rewarding and quite profound. Just think: You've been given an extraordinary gift if you're able to exercise and make positive food changes. Get off your rear end and live the life you've always wanted!"
