Do you have a friend that shares your goals and desire to get healthy? You may have differing specific goals, for example she or he wants to gain muscle definition and you need to focus on weight loss. Regardless of what your differing specific goals are, you both want to get healthy, which is most important. All plans to get fit and healthy should include making smarter food choices, cardiovascular exercise and strength training. You can do it together! You are more likely to be successful when you have someone to support you through the journey. Working out with someone else makes you less likely to blow off the hard work. Surrounding yourself with people who support your goals will inspire you to eat right, exercise consistently and stay motivated. Ok, maybe you do not have similar schedules and cannot work out together, you can still talk about your body transformation journey with the triumphs and frustrations that come your way. This will also help you stay motivated. When you go out to eat, dine with that person so you will stay accountable to each other. If you are tempted by foods, you can decide together what are the healthiest options.
You should also tell other people that are closest to you what your goals are. Those that truly care and love you will be supportive and help you along the way. You are not alone.
Even if you do not have people in your life that would make good partners, role models or fans, there are people out there that want to make the same choices as you. Seek them out by networking with co-workers, church members and neighbors. Maybe someone wants to hire a trainer but does not want to do it alone. That would be a perfect opportunity to connect with that person if you share a similar desire. If you surround yourself with people who support you and want to see you succeed, chances are you will.
