Here at The CSI Project we want you to come share your passion for crafting, creating and to put it simply-whatever inspires you in life!
Our mission is to Encourage creative people to Create, Share and Inspire others!
I have created a craft community that inspires crafters to stretch their creative muscles.
I have taken that same mission and incorporated it into my fitness world.
I hope to inspire others to flirt with fitness and who knows you may just take the leap and fall in love.
You might just create a new healthy lifestyle and feel the best you have ever felt.
FLIRT noun
1: an act or instance of flirting
verb \ˈflərt\
a: to behave amorously without serious intent
b: to show superficial or casual interest or liking <flirted with the idea>; also: experiment
That is right! I am a flirt.
I might smile too much. I might glance in the other direction. I might give that look of come and get me every now and again.
It all started so innocently. I mean…I have always been active but did I consider myelf completely anamored by this thing that was getting my attention.
No….I couldn’t. No….I shouldn’t. It would be a commitment. A complete change in the way I live.
What would my dear, sweet husband think!@?
I just went for it. It started out slow.
I flirted. I showed a casual interest.
The feelings got stronger and soon I couldn’t go a day without doing it, without feeling the rush.
It had a hold on me. This thing I had so innocently flirted with was now…..dare I say, passion.
I was now running and training for my first 5K.
It all started by joining a running group in my community.
I decided I wanted to run a 5K and I needed that extra push to get my rear end out and running. So, I joined this group.
I even got the tank top!
You may be thinking, “No, running isn’t for me. I don’t want to flirt with fitness. I will just flirt with the cute guy who bags my groceries.”
Well, I say, why not step out of your comfort zone and try something new.
Jogging/running can be fun and there are a lot of fun 5k’s to run in all around the country.
Yes, I said FUN 5K’s!
It is possible!!!
