Yesterday we talked about first thing you need to do to get started on your Fit Bride journey. If you didn’t get a chance to check that out HERE and then come back for Step #2.
GOT GOALS!
Now that you’ve figured out your starting place the next question is, who’s going to hold you accountable and cheer you on? Yes, you can certainly do it alone, but when you're doing something hard, and let's face it changing your habits and getting in shape is work, the journey is more fun with a friend... or two. Plus, a growing body of research has shown that having at least one support and accountability partner can make all the difference between your success and failure. Just think a la, you text your friend you want a cookie, she texts you back a picture of your wedding gown. Don't want to go for your morning run, but her booty is already at the spot waiting for you.
Get an accountability partner so you don't flake.
Having at least one girlfriend or workout buddy who’s there during the fun times and talks you through when it gets rough can make all the difference to your level of success. Not only can it raise the energy, it also raises the level of expectation. Unfortunately as humans we can all get a bit flaky at times, so we might not follow through if we're the only ones who know of our intentions.
That accountability is raised, however, when you've gotten someone else involved because the expectation level also increases. You can even add more people (maybe a bridesmaid or two) to create a group and add more energy, more encouragement and more FUN! Ask one or more to join you! From encouragement and support to having more fun and increased motivation, social support works!

Take action.
Share your goal(s) with someone THIS WEEK who can offer positive support and motivation to help you move towards your fitness goals. Remember, this can be a friend, a loved one, a fitness professional, or even a support group. The person can join you on your journey directly or they can support you from the sidelines but they have to offer positive vibes and constructive feedback only.
