On Oct. 6, 2012, I worked as the Production Manager for the 20th Anniversary Women's Only 5K Walk & Run. This fundraising event raises money for the Mammography Scholarship Fund, which provides free mammograms to women without insurance or who cannot afford the life-saving test.
For the last couple of years, I have either participated in the race or volunteered and last year I was a public relations intern and worked the event as a media relations representative. Earlier this year, I became a full-time employee of the Cone Health marketing department. This department is responsible for organizing this wonderful event and it gave me a more hands-on involvement from beginning to end.
On today, my dear friend Henreka (remember her from previous posts?), found a picture of me in the background from this year's race and it made me go back and look at previous years.
Since I've began this journey of total wellness, especially physically, I have heard so many people tell me that they can see a difference. However, I could never fully see what they saw, until today. Which ironically, was much needed. I spoke to a friend, Rodney, last night who works in fitness about my desire to lose 10 pounds by the end of the month and his suggestion, "Stop saying you're going to lose and START saying, I need to lose" By saying NEED, it will become a mental priority for me and then I will take action. I started today saying, "I NEED", by the middle of my day a trip down memory lane added MOTIVATION TO GET ME MOVING, and by the end of my day, I found myself in the gym TAKING ACTION!
Are you curious of my trip down memory lane and how it motivated me to move from I NEED to I WILL?
Here's what I am calling my OWN Women's Only Milestones....
I look forward to hearing your feedback, I'm working on losing my next 10 pounds so your words are MUCH NEEDED!!
Thanks for all your love and support,
