Find Your Tribe, Surround Yourself With LIke-Minded People

Guess what, we had some fun today.  And, it was healthy and took very little planning. 
We had 2 friends come over, a couple, friends of ours named Tim and Amanda. We wanted to share how important it is to find your tribe. Making changes in your lifestyle, or just being the ones that live a healthy lifestyle can sometimes leave you ..less social. You will probably get teased at parties for what you eat or other choices you make (know from experience)..until you are surrounded by like minded people.   There is a mindset out there that "being healthy" is hard, unrealistic. I get this.  There is planning that goes into healthy living: managing time, budgeting, cooking food, getting rest, being active, etc.  But when you think about this, is this really hard or are we brainwashed by advertising that knows how to get our attention - LET US MAKE THIS EASIER FOR YOU.  The reality is it just takes a desire to be healthy and to feel good.  It takes some work.  It takes a plan.  Having like-minded people in your life definitely helps your cause.  The question inevitably comes up, "What if there are no healthy people in my life?" Easy answer, go find them, they're out there, and they probably want to be your friend. The hardest part, if you are not yet into your healthy living habits, is getting started. Like anything.
We challenge you to pursue your healthy desires, conquer some of the goals you have set in place but may have fallen to the wayside.  Jami and I will be your "healthy, like-minded friends".  We can motivate, encourage, and celebrate with you.  And as an added bonus, you'll meet great people like Tim and Amanda along the way.
