I Did it! … in Fitness Magazine

At Fitbloggin’ in May, I sat down for lunch at a table with a few people that I didn’t know. After introductions, we chatted about what we enjoyed and learned so far. With time, the woman next to me handed me her card and said to get in touch later. She was Karla Walsh and she works at Fitness Magazine. She thought my story would be good in a section of the magazine they call …

“I did it!”

Later there was a phone interview. I sent her some pictures and she said it will be in the October issue. October seemed like a long way off, plus life has been busy. So yesterday morning I got a tweet that surprised me …

Yay @JanetOber on page 29 of Oct @FitnessMagazine!!!

.

Really? I tweeted back … as if brilliant on-top-of-everything MizFit doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

Newsflash Janet! October is almost here, so the October magazines are now being stocked. 
.

So off to my local Barnes and Noble and sure enough … there it was.

In case you are confused … I’m the one on the left right.

The magazine section might be called “I did it” … but I didn’t do it alone. My hubs, sons, friends, family, paramedics, doctors, authors I know and authors I don’t know all helped me … thanks to one and all!

If you are new here … thanks for visiting. You find more about me and my story at those links.

And thanks to Karla and Fitness!

    I love it when doctors say “never walk again” — a variation on those three words (“never standup straight again”)  inspired my journey as well.

      Yes, doctors can be cautious … because they don’t like to over promise, but then sometimes they are almost too pessimistic.

      Thanks Pam! 
      The idea of tireless perseverance sounds great, but most times it’s more like tiring perseverance :)
