I saw this on Pinterest today and it made me think about accountability and competition. And, how during my journey to becoming healthy, it's helped so much to have a friend doing it with me! We talk about eating, share recipes, text when it's time to workout, talk about lack of motivation, complain about how hard a workout may have been, and hold each other up when we've had a bad day and a workout is just not happening (yes, sometimes life gets in the way and it's OKAY!). We are also constantly reminding each other that this is a lifestyle we have chosen, and just because you have a bad day does not mean you are "starting over". It just means tomorrow is a new day and we continue with our lifestyle and do better.
