Why do your friends say the dumbest things??

Do you ever have someone who is your friend who just doesn't seem to believe in your or doubts things that you are really excited about? And you ask yourself "why is this person my friend?"

Today I am really excited and pumped up because I got my ticket booked for Phat Camp in June and also going to go see my sweet friend, Tonja back in Wisconsin that I haven't gotten to visit or see in like 12 years (wow we are getting old).

So today I was saying how excited that I was that I am going to be going to this "Phat Camp" or boot camp for fitness. Someone who I consider a friend makes the comment to me, "They call it boot camp for a reason. Its going to be hard, you are going to die and why in the heck would you want to spend your money on something stupid like that?" I replied back "For starters, I don't think its stupid, I want to go, I know its going to be hard but I am ready for the challenge. I think its something that I need to do for me in my life." She make the comment that really kicks me in the gut "Becca ... we are about the same size and there is no way that I could last 5 minutes in a boot camp, what makes you think you can?" I said "Cause I believe that I can and I have the endurance to make it."

So anyhow I just was thinking that I think I can make it! I know that I can do good at it. Just is one of those things that come up in life that make you think, why are you my friend again? :) It makes me think about life and your goals. I really do believe that sometimes we all need to re-evulate some of our friendships we have and figure out if they are getting us or helping us get to the places in life that we want to be at. Are they same as you? If not, will they at least support you along your journey?

On another front of fitness, relationships, friends --- this weekend was a huge success and hit for the Phit-n-Phat family. There were a few people who conquered their first 1/2 marathon, a few people got to meet each other in person, and etc. :)

I got an email from dear sweet Corinne that boosted me up in the clouds: For you, missy, I think you need to get in on whatever week your team is on and kick it like you've been there the whole time. You are a strong woman even though you aren't going to feel like that the first few workouts, but don't doubt yourself and just push to what you can do right now and then push a little more the next day. Becca, I really believe in you. I don't know what has changed for you and I don't care. I just know that I like this positive Becca who is ready to find her hotness, maturity, kickass spirit, and take herself to new challenges.

There was more to her email but let me say that this just made my day! I was in cloud nine and I continue to have people around me that are like that so that I don't get down and I keep myself up. :) I have lots of plans for myself and my fitness goals and I can't wait to start achieving them.

Phat Camp: June 13-15 (Nashville, TN)
1/2 Marathon: December or January
1/2 Marathon: June 2009/ Nashville, TN

I am excited to see some changes in my body and mind this year. Stay tuned for the kickass Becca :)
