Encouragement

Whether we care to admit it or not, some of us find motivation through social media these days. I like to equate browsing Pinterest and reading fitness blogs to flipping through a magazine for good articles and sources of inspiration. When I set out to start The City Skinny, encouraging my readers was at the top of my list of things I wanted to accomplish. So with that in mind, I want to acknowledge my readers who inspire me with their fitness accomplishments they share with me. It means the world to me when readers give me a shout out for being a part of their journey and accomplishments, big or small - every step in the right direction counts! It could be that you started a new class, lost 5 pounds, or simply cleaned up your nutrition habits. Maybe you've finally mastered that handstand. I love to hear about it! You never know how reaching and sharing your goals will affect another reader at any given time to lace up and go outside for a walk, or try a new yoga or dance studio. Because at the heart of it, that is what The City Skinny is all about - to explore, be adventurous,  and find your strength. So, each month, I would love to highlight and reward a reader's story of their journey, so we can continue the trend of supporting each other at whatever level we find ourselves. I hope to find this site flooded with words of encouragement for each other. So please share as little or as much as you want, however you feel comfortable, if reading this blog has been a source of inspiration for you. It could be on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, on the site or even in a private message through our contact form.  I want to hear about it! Let's celebrate the little victories together that will take you to the ultimate goal: to love your life... fit!
