Long time, no write

Jan 16, 2010

Wow, just realized it has been forever since I have written a blog.  Alot has been going on.  Since I started training for the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon that will be March 7, I haven't been doing anything but that it seems.  I have either a 5k or 10k just about every Saturday, I have Jazzercise when I can fit it in.  Work is the same but feel better, especially my knees and feet. 
     Tired of all this cold weather...and tired of being cold all the time.  Everyone kept telling me that would happen, but when you have been hot all your life (no, not in that context..lol) it is hard to believe it will happen to you.  Now my skinny co-workers laugh at me in long sleeve shirts under my scrub tops.  But that is okay, if that is the worst....I'll take it. 
     I keep going to the support groups every month.  It is always good to see fellow Loser Bench warmers...lol 
    I joined a running club for ladies called Phat Girlz (Pretty Hot And Tasty) and it is amazing that since they never new me as fat,  they made me feel that I fit right in.  The fat girl that is still inside is amazed by this.  The healthy girl understands that it is the way it should be.  Sounds strange but the fat girl still can be heard every now and then..just not as often, or as loud.  I know I will never completely get rid of her, nor should I, she is a big part of my history and life.  I just need to learn from her not to let her command my life again. 
     Well, I am tired.  I just finished a 10k at Pensacola Beach, in the windy rain.  I won the 10k walkers division......and the announcer had to let everyone know I was the only walker to attempt it....then the Pensacola News Journal interviewed me so I will have to buy a paper tomorrow.  I am now warm, tired and ready to curl up on the couch and catch up on some tv shows I haven't been able to watch this week.  Tomorrow I have to get up early and if the weather cooperates with me- I will get in an 11 mile walk.  Not fast, but distance. 
     I hope it won't be another 6 months before I blog.  But if it is, know I will be saying my motivation while I am walking-Burn Fat Burn! 

See you on the Loser's Bench!

P.S.  I have a facebook page for gastric bypass patients or those waiting for it called The Loser's Bench.
