Turns out there’s something pretty powerful about the process of taking a big sentiment … such as “Why do I want to lose weight?” or “Why do I want to get healthy?”… and boiling it down to a note card.

I was so impressed and flabbergasted by the responses I got on this project that I’ve decided to stretch it out as far as it’ll go. So send me your note cards, with your hopes and dreams synopsized onto a 3x4 inch card (or whatever you’ve got around the home or office). Email them to JackSh.tGettinFit@gmail.com (and don't forget to include a blog link if you'd like that included).
oh these are all awesome!!!! Karen made me snorfle.. as per usual. some of these made me tear up. AWESOME!!! Thanks so much for doing this, Jack!
ReplyDeleteSeeing all of these together is very cool. Top idea Jack. See? You ARE a gent!
ReplyDeleteBoiling it all down to one simple goal makes it feel all so much easier....

ReplyDeleteI love seeing everyone's faces (and fingers) and reading their reasons for losing weight ... some of which I also have but my @ss isn't that big to fit it all on. ☺

ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS
I just realized that I was being silly in my photo when the issue is anything but...
ReplyDeleteI want to be healthy, I want to be fit, I want to be able to live a life where I am not limited by the things I can do. I want to be the best version of me that I can be!
Jack - this is such a good idea. It reminds me of postsecret.blogspot.com. I really wish you'd consider doing a separate page and have this an ongoing thing. You'll be getting my card soon.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL ... it looks like Alex is afraid my fatass is going to land on her!
ReplyDeleteGreat project. When I quit panicking, I'll join in. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great way to connect back to the reasons WHY.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool post. All their reasons are great!
ReplyDeleteLove it. So much more powerful on a notecard somehow. And fuck you cookie is one of the greatest blog names ever!
ReplyDeleteReally great responses so far, Jack. I have some new blogs to follow now. :) Maybe I need to send you my post card.....

ReplyDeleteI just got back from the beach and I'm trying to catch up! What a fabulous idea! They don't make a card big enough for all of my reasons, but I'll see if I can give you a condensed version....look for my email in a day or two. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea... I'll do my card tonight...
