When I am alone, my willpower is in check. I am focused. I have control, and I keep my goals in focus. Nothing can stop me.
Then the weekend comes. I love being with my friends, and I find it almost impossible to turn down a good time. Even if it is 3 days of drinking, video games, and carbs. I have a great time (and wouldn't want to be anywhere else), but I always end up full of regret and just generally angry at myself. I love my friends, and I would never remove them for the sake of my waistline. At the end of the day though, somethings gotta change, and I want the best of both worlds! So, I'm going to go ahead and utilize some sage advice.
Be the change you want to see in people. It's time to start organizing hikes, gym trips, good food, and promote a more balanced lifestyle. I still want to play video games into the wee hours of the morning, but we'll kick the day off with some hiking, lifting, and general productiveness. I know me and my friends feed off each other an incredible amount, and we truly have the ability to carry each other and ourselves to absolutely astonishing heights.. So it's time to harness that power and become an unstoppable force.
It may just start out as me and one other person going for a hike, but it'll be fun (and hard). It'll grow and snowball into something great. I will have the best of both worlds. A weekend out, some beer, a little exercise, and everyone wins! Plus, I'll probably make sweet membership cards or something.
Everyone loves membership cards.
