Need Some Inspiration?
I don't typically do this, but this little post isn't about school. It's about life. It's about inspiration. It's about being healthy. Sometimes health is the last thing on a busy teacher's mind. If that's where you find yourself, then this post might be for you. My best friend lost 133 pounds and has an amazing story to tell. She's changed her life and has kept off the weight. She's been sharing her heart on her blog and inspiring hundreds of people to find joy in their weight-loss journeys too. Since I was on her support team during her transformation, she asked me to write a little something from my perspective on her blog today. I invite you to come over and meet my friend Paige. If you're in need of some inspiration, you'll find it there. Just click on her picture.

Thank you Lori. Thank you for reading. I'm very proud of what she's been able to accomplish. It's a touching and inspirational story.
DeleteHi Tammy,
ReplyDeletePaige sure is inspiring. I'm trying to lose a lot of weight and get in shape to do a sprint triathlon with my sister. I've already spent an hour looking at Paige's blog and I'm sure I'll keep going back to it. Thanks for sharing it. I also want to say how inspiring you are. There is nothing like a good girlfriend and you sound amazing. Paige really is lucky!

Lyn, it's exciting to hear that you've got a goal and someone to accomplish it with you. Some of my family members have gotten into triathlons and they love it. I hope you do too and that you find joy in your journey just like Paige has. Thank you for reading!
DeletePaige is so inspiring, but so are you. It's a little intimidating to have you call your writing a "poetic attempt," when it is so great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laur. I've got troubles seeing myself as a poet. I read Julia's stuff and she blows my mind.
DeleteThanks so much for pointing me in the direction of your friends blog. I can't wait to go back and read some more of her previous posts. Your poem was wonderful... thanks for the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteThis is just what I was needing. I have been wanting to lose some weight for several years, but I just couldn't find the motivation. I'm hoping going back and reading her blog will get me up and moving!
