My neighbor sees me workout with my trainer outside once a week. When speaking with him this weekend and recounting how I fell in love with strength training on my journey to lose 100 lbs...I listened to myself! He spoke of the inspiration it was for him and his wife and probably others who saw me make a HUGE change. And for me, I was reminded to return to the gym the other 4 days since I've been sick and missed 4 weeks! I feel GREAT today! Inspiration for others converts to self motivation.
