Toning up
November 15th, 2011
I got a call from my sister the other day and she started telling me how tired she is of being out of shape. She’s always venting about having put on weight and never using the bicycle carrierthat I got her two Christmases ago. She says that she’s finally fed up with it and decided to tone up in time for the summer. I told her that I was very proud of her and would be willing to work out with her if she wanted, but she said that she needed to do this on her own. She didn’t want to get into the habit of having to rely on other people to motivate her, because she knows full well that this kind of inspiration can only really come from within.About a month passed before I heard from her again. She said she didn’t want get sidetracked by explaining her workout routine and diet regimen, but she did make it a point to let me know that she bought several new bicycle car racks, all of which she planned on wearing out. She can go a little overboard sometimes, which I guess can be used in a positive way, but sometimes it’s a little obsessive. Hopefully though everything will be fine in the end and she will hit her fitness goals.
