PS

I also jogged a whole mile yesterday without stopping. Okay, actually calling it jogging may be a tad on the exaggerated side. I mean I didn't walk (at first), and I wasn't walking fast like the people at the mall with their hands swinging to and fro. I did however sorta shufflejogg. Is that a word? YES, that is what I did.

Shufflejogging is akin to what street cleaners do. WHAT? Street cleaners. Ya know... they are those big machines that make a lot of noise that drive on the outside lane picking up ick off the ground? It is like that. You see they don't go fast and really look as if they are barely moving at all, yet soon enough they have made it from point A to point B. They are kinda loud, as was my constant wheeze, and since I am slow, just like they are, I had to remand myself to the outside lane on the track. There was some ick, but that mainly came from my profuse sweating. All in all I would say it is an apt description. Fast? NO, accomplished something? YES!

Why is it always cheese?

So I got reprimanded last week. BIG TIME. This week, so far, I have been to training everyday. My eating habits are better (I am eating fish right now), but I think I have a way to go with that still. I think I was eating in relative moderation until yesterday when Allen brought a cheese ball. A CHEESE BALL!!! You have got to be kidding me! Okay and maybe some beer. Anyway, long story short…cheese ball good, my tummy hurt bad!

In the meantime, I have had emails and comments from some of my benefactors telling me to GET WITH IT!! You do know it was a cheese ball right?

Anyway, just a quick note to let everyone know this week is going along better. Aside from three workouts so far I have dodgeball tonight which is more exercise and I should be going to Boot Camp Thursday and Friday as well, so I AM picking up momentum!

Say what?

April,

I am NOT happy.

You BEGGED me to let you into this contest ... right? But your progress isn't much to get excited about.
I'm serious about you being successful and I'm assuming that you are too, right? Or am I more serious about you being successful than you are?
I want you at BOOT CAMP no less than 4 times next week! And when you do your cardio, I want you to WORK YOUR ASS OFF! You can walk and stroll at the mall.
We need to meet ASAP. I'll meet you at 5 at the church this afternoon. Email me to confirm.

Tony

So....if any of you think I am not being called on the carpet for being a slacker than think again. I met with Tony at 5 on Friday and the tone of that meeting was the same if not more scary than the email. No I don't mean scary like I thought he was going to shave my head, put me in the "hole" and not let me out until I was hungry, broken and ready to tell all of my secrets and yours the second he let me out. But it was scary/stern enough that I had to remind myself I am an adult, I am not in grade school and about to lose my recess for the week. I had to remind myself that I am an adult and I am not waiting for my mom to pick me up from school all the while knowing when she gets there, the teacher is gonna tell her why I lost my recess.

Let me just say, I could definetely see the "Marine" that day. But you know, while his demeanor Friday took me aback, it was not unwarranted. That is what I paid for. That is what YOU paid for.

I may be a whiner and I am for sure a cryer, but I am not a quitter.

So let me end this for now....I need to start running!

Slacker

I have been slacking on my blogs for quite some time now. It appears that I am slacking in many areas these days but I hope to change that soon. I made the new contest. Did I tell you guys that? I did. It is called Combat the Fat 2008. And…..and…..I have some really good peeps supporting me in this. Not just mentally, but financially as well. This was not a cheap endeavor. I say that, but overall it will be well worth it. I have six months to learn better habits and to get in shape. This is my second week and so far I have not been all fired up and gung ho and ready to go just yet. I will be though, just give me a few more days. Wow! Listen to me already putting things off or making excuses….

Actually, I was on vacation last week but had to help my pappy with some things so I was kinda off kilter. This week, I am back to work, and I went to work out Monday and have not been back.

Today is Thursday and I have to PU one of the chillins I am keeping until Sunday when the parents come home. I am going to class tonight, but this week, as last, I will have made my obligatory three visits ONLY. NOT good. Well, it fits the bill, I am not breaking any rules, but I am also not gonna lose this big ole butt with any quickness by just playing it safe. I BEGGED to be in this competition so know I just have to get off my boohonkus and do it!!

By the way the folks I have listed to the left with my picture are the folks that helped financially so I could do this! Just wanted to say thanks!
