Beginnings are small,scary and unique!

I make friends quite fast and the good thing is,I also maintain them(if they’re adding any value of course).

Years back,I met a sweet soul,Rebecca,she was German(reasons why I can speak German. For Example… “Ich liebe dich” lol! Being in my early 20s I was very concerned about how I looked (not that I don’t now just that it cannot affect my esteem anymore because I have all the solutions on my finger tips). On my 23rd birthday,I weighed 87kgs πŸ™„.

One of the evenings while having dinner,I mentioned to Rebecca that I’d want to shed some weight. She was like,”wow!”. She made me set a day when I’d start jogging and she promised to give me company. What a friend! I wanted to start ASAP so we started a day after. First,I didn’t have sport shoes but had some rubber shoes (start with what you have).

I remember in highschool,I never loved cross country days. I’d hide almost Everytime so that I’d not jog and now here I was πŸ˜‚. We woke up early in the morning, Rebecca was light weight you’d think she was a feather lol but she kept waiting for me. I was not sure I was going to jog again and in my head I was like “I can just let my body go wherever it wants” but she’d not allow it. She knew I needed to do this. She believed it was possible and made me believe it too! Sometimes in life we just need that one person who’ll hold our hand until we can walk on our own.

After the jog,my whole body hurt! I had every reason to quit but I chose not to and I’m happy I didn’t!
