RhondaLou and I are going to virtually meet somewhere between the 1120 miles that separate us.

How long will it take us?

It is not a race, we will both be WINNERS.

I am hoping this will be fun for us.

I hope we inspire online friends to come up with some ideas like this and be sure to share them with us on this thread.

I walked 3 more miles today in cold weather. I have missed my daily walks. I used every excuse. Not enough time or I exercise at work. I mostly missed the me time.

My first goal is to get to the TN line.

YES YES YES

I went to the mall and went 3 miles.

My hubby says "great,that was another hour you were away from home".

I have explained to him that exercise is like medicine for my mind.

I AM juggling TOO MUCH right now.

Full time job , to be 48 hours for next two weeks.

Part time job 10 - 15 hours a week.

Church .

I didnt plan to be working full time but it fell into my lap , so I took it.

I CANNOT give up my part-time job . I love it . It really would be like a death to me. I groom 25 dogs and I love each and everyone of them. They are my little four legged friends.

I need to be in God's house. I do pray , I do listen to Him. He tells me he wants me IN His house too.

I want/need exercise for my mind.

My fulltime job is walking all night but it is different , I cannot think about anything else but my work tasks .

My part time job will eventually go to doggy heaven.Wahhhh and Boo Hoo. It breaks my heart.

Should I even mention household business (I do it ALL ),housework (90%) and friends time? Nah.

Thank anyone who has read my SAD SAD story. LOL

At least I am at a healthy weight doing this, almost doing it and just doing enough not to be living in a dirty house.

Now on my list of things to do I need to check how many miles it is from Owensboro KY to Tenn line on my way walking to TX.

running total 10 + 3 = 13

I was able to walk 4 miles at the mall on Dec 12 2008.

It felt so good.

I was going to walk my pet today 3 miles but it is raining.

I had promised Hubby I would come home after work on his day off.

4 miles more toward that Tenn line.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
