As anyone with a pulse knows, Facebook is one of the biggest communities on the Internet right now. The website has more than 200 million active users worldwide. With nearly 112,000 right here on the Spokane Facebook.
Facebook is a free-access social networking website. Users can join networks organized by where they live, workplace, school, region and common interests to interact with other people. You can also add friends, send messages and notify others about yourself on your Facebook.
There is story after story about friends reconnecting, families reuniting or finding true love (not that I advocate using Facebook as a dating tool). I am a big fan of Facebook and enjoy reading about what my friends are up to, seeing pictures of their families and exchanging messages on the “Wall”.
About a month ago I started working out and have found it to be a life changing experience. I had no idea I was so out of shape, I think I was in denial ….in fact I am sure of it. I love so much what I am doing, and at the same time it is one of the most challenging things I have purposely gone through in a very long time.
Support And Accountability
I know there are many other people on Facebook that are challenging themselves, as I am, by getting in shape. Being accountable really helps.
However, getting in shape and losing weight is not easy! Connecting with other people on Facebook who have decided to brave this awesome opportunity could have many benefits:
Sharing victories Support from others who know first hand what you are going through Encouragement to stick with your goals Extra accountability with eating right and filling out your Food Journal A chance to connect with possible new friends With all this in mind I decided to create a Facebook page, titled Phoenix. A Phoenix is a mythical bird that can rise out of the ashes in the most difficult of times renewed and ready to take on anything.
Sure we would like to be able to get right back into it when we fail at our fitness goals. As my trainer would say “jumping up for joy!” Usually right at the time you think you can not go any further in your workout, the benefits of this remarkable personal trainer come in to play.
