Glad to see you are shaking the haters off- you and the other ladies who are so incredibly proactive about your health are an inspiration to me, I gotta say. THere have been so many times that I let depression or a hectic pace interfere with caring for myself that it really really helps to see you guys doin your thang and helps me get it together!
I just need for people to understand that if I can do it, ANYONE can do it. Seriously.

You kiddin', right? Soror li84, you motivate me!!! Remember? Toocute was tattlin' on me to you? You are still in my book of fitness gurus. We all fall off at times, but you always seem to be 'on it.' Depression WILL jack you up. That's another reason I love walking. I FINALLY learned how to do it when I'm angry, mad, depressed, or anxious. It actually works. By the time I get back from my 4mi walk (this was in my real life when I actually exercised regularly, not sporadically [sp?] like now), I would feel SO much better. I haven't figured out how to battle a hectic pace yet. I guess it's all about planning and scheduling, but those types of things don't work really well for procrastinators because we neither plan nor schedule, and if we do, we don't stick to it.

I guess I see why I'm running the marathon. I need to get my life together, lol. And this is gonna help. If I can be disciplined to do something I don't even much like, I should be able to be disciplined with anything (eating habits, finances, celibacy, going back to school, etc). They say it's a life changing experience. I'm ready to change my life. And I wanna see what this whole 'runner's high' is.

I think I might be growin' up or something.
