Good Influences
I’ve had quite a few good influences in my life lately, when it comes to my health.
Burton – While traveling with my friends recently, despite being on vacation and up very late, Burton was up early every morning for his runs. Oh, and I should mention he has an amazing body!
Minh – Minh is fast becoming one of my favorite people, he’s very sweet and very intelligent. Minh lives a very healthy lifestyle, he’s very dedicated to his health and his kickboxing. Just a phone call with him, discussing health and fitness encourages me to be my best.
Arthur – Arthur is a new friend and also has a very healthy outlook on life. Arthur is also very smart and a brilliant conversationalist, I really enjoy hearing his outlook on life. Arthur has encouraged me to look at what I eat and/or drink and to decide if it’s really worth it. A good example is alcoholic drinks, which are pretty much just empty calories.
Susan – And of course, last, but not least. Susan nags me about my diet, constantly, which is what I need, since my willpower is easily overcome. Also, Susan will call me randomly to go workout with her or accept when I call her to go workout.
