The power of groups to motivate in diets and exercise
Are you participating in any organized group diet or exercise activity? Except for this little informal world of blogging, of course.
I haven’t, but I believe they have a lot of value. Some people need organized diets and methods of planning their nutrition. A lot of people also need the motivation of the group dynamic – the weekly weigh-in, the group walks a couple times each week.
Don’t think you have to do it alone. There are a lot of groups and organizations that can help. It doesn’t have to cost money, either – are there a couple friends at work that might want to meet before or after work and walk a couple days each week? Maybe during lunch?
I found a great path at my church last Wednesday when I was waiting for my daughter during her CCD class. It was beautiful and quiet. Will I see other parents there from time to time? Undoubtedly. Will I be open to seeing if they want to have a standing walking time during the kids’ class? I should be, but as I already revealed, I have some issues.
But, I’ll try.
