Yes, You Can


Catapult Fitness Blog officially turns 1-year old tomorrow, April 30th.

This past year has literally flown right by and when I take the time to reflect, I realize just how much can happen in a mere 365 days:

... You can find yourself on an health and wellness journey that has you losing 16 lbs and lowering your bodyfat by 10%, all in your mid-40s;

... You can start a new career;

... You can have the opportunity to meet one of the individuals who inspired you to make changes in your life;

... You can find yourself in a mentorship role, helping others to fulfill their aspirations;

... You can find yourself quoted in a magazine you purchase each month;

... You can find yourself in a really happy place, if you take the time to prioritize what's important in life.

I like to think of Spring as I time of new beginnings and I'm excited to think what the next 365 days will bring. What this past year has taught me is that regardless of what may come - YES, I can absolutely achieve whatever I aspire to achieve.

You can do the same.

Train hard; stay strong.

Peace.

Susan

    Susan,
    Congrats on the past year. You definitely have a lot to be proud of! So what's the goal for the next 365 days;)!

    Thanks for inspiring me as well.

    (btw up to 4.5 pull-ups)

    Thanks Nicole :)
    Wow, are you seriously up to 4 1/2 pull-ups? That is truly inspirational! Remind me not to tick you off!

    Hey Susan! That's an awesome list of accomplishments! Congratulations on a terrific year!

    [ A bit out of line, but you look hotter than JM...she might start turning to you for inspiration!]

    Take care,

    F.

    Job well done, Susan!! I enjoy your blog for its practical approach to health and wellness.

    I've lost 22 lbs since 1/08 (starting off via JM site/routine), and about 6% body fat...my goal is to get my body fat down another 5% or so and will continue to rely on this blog for inspiration and help along my own journey.

    As I was looking at the picture, I was thinking what Fred said. Fred's right...as usual. With age comes wisdom. Fred is very very wise.

    Outside of that, cool post. You've become one of my favs.

    later, MikeZ

    Seleav, WOW ... your results year to date are super impressive! No doubt that you'll be able to knock another 5% off your bodyfat. If there is anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask!!!

    Congratulations, Susan! Were it not for you, I might not have made it past "Looking Good (for a mom)" to my current state of just plain "Looking Good!" You've inspired me in many, many ways, and even better, that's allowed me to inspire others.

    So Happy Birthday to Catapult Fitness Blog. Hope it's the first of many happy returns.

    I am very proud of my little sister.
    She is an inspiration to many :)

    Liz, with your transformation pictures and input on Gyminee, I can tell you that you ARE an inspiration to MANY and if people aren't following your blog, they certainly should be! http://lookinggoodmom.blogspot.com/

    ok, I didn't pay my sister to say that, but it's awfully nice to hear from someone I've looked up to my entire life.

    Hello, I was thinking if we could exchange link, our niche is alike, I already added your link to my blog. Thank you so much. God bless you.

    Great blog - there's a sea of health/fitness blogs out there but yours is really bubbling up. The advice all seems very real. I don't know how you fit it in around a day job. Good luck

    Jim, thanks so much!! I have to admit, finding time to focus on my blog and Gyminee postings has become more difficult as I'm trying to grow my business -- but my blog is what I'm really passionate about, and the effort pays itself back to me 10-fold.

    That's one of the lessons I learned this year -- do what you're passionate about. Everything else falls in to place.

    Thanks for stopping by and commenting!!
