Last week I gave you tip number one to living a healthier lifestyle. This week I have tip number two...
Tip #2: Get an Accountability Partner
And I am dedicating this week's post to my accountaility partner, who also happens to be the other half of Spandex & Sports Bras if you follow us on Instagram or Facebook.
So what is an accountability partner?
This is not a "yes" man. This is someone to tell you when you need to, as I say, "get your life together!" It's someone who is going to be okay calling you out when you're doing something that isn't going to help you achieve your goals. It's someone who knows your goals, understand your goals, and supports your goals. So choose wisely. I'm sure your best friend is great but they may not be right for the job. And your significant other is probably awesome too, but they might not be the right choice either.
The great thing is that your accountability partner can come from anywhere! It could be someone you met in the gym, a co-worker, someone at church, your neighbor, someone from your running group or adult sports team. They could even be someone you have never met in person. Ahhhh the beauty of social media!
So what do they do? They talk to you about your goals and what you are doing to reach them. They encourage you. They may even offer advice from time to timeworkout today. My friend Tiffany and I workout together, share meal ideas, send each other funny pictures related to fitness. And sometimes it's as simple as a "Did you workout today" text.
SImply put - You need one. Get one. They will help you succeed.
