All is well…
Hey Folks!
My diary has been neglected again, but everything is cool.
Work is still busy as hell…at least I have a job, right? My checks have been nice due to involuntary OT. The activities committee is still rolling along. The carnation fundraiser was an overwhelming success. I’m known as the “charity chick” in the office, so we’ll be doing a month-long food drive in April. I have no problem working hard to raise funds for our holiday party…but we have to make a few charitable contributions too. What can I say? 12 years of Girl Scouts has a permanent effect. 🙂

Fitness…My Lent plan is still going strong. It feels great to have my groove back. Chesty (for lack of better name) and I are starting the Beginning Runner’s program (again) tonight. I’m taking a new approach: slow and steady. The workout is a 13-week plan…so what if it takes me 16 weeks? Last time I was burned out and hateful after Week 7. I may not be a runner when all is said and done, but I’m determined to finish this stupid program. LOL How is that for positivity?
Vacation Motivation…St. Thomas is 4 months away! Here are a few pictures from our resort. I won’t go into financial details, but this trip is damn near free! That thought alone makes the sun brighter, men darker, and the drinks stronger. teehee
My realistic goal is to be 190 for the trip. My secret desire is to be 180. As long as I don’t see a “2” on the scale, I’ll be pleased. Swim training starts next month and I look forward to seeing my body change. The real work will be keeping my appetite controlled. I turn into a hungry heifer when a pool is involved.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Have you checked out Jeff Galloway’s running programs? They are great for people just getting into running.

Gorgeous pictures! Yup, print those babies out and put them on the fridge. I have been doing really well with the exercise challenge, but now my eating has gotten a bit out of control. Sigh. If one could put all the pieces together AT THE SAME TIME we’d be deadly, hm? Linette

I don’t know what it is about the pool but when I leave the gym, I want food and I want it right then! Tell me.. what are you going to do with your hair when pool training starts… I’m having a hard time.

Why is it that swimming makes people so hungry? I’m always ravenous after being in a pool, even if I didn’t actually DO that much!

On your reccomendation, I ordered Passing For Thin. Thanks for mentioning it, great book! I do have to admit though, when reading it I flash through emotions like mad, one second I want to cry, the next I want to throw it out the window, but the whole time, I couldn’t put it down!
