I love you Deb. Saturday evening I went for a long walk with my little radio with headphones. It took about 2 hours, and I tend to walk quickly. It was heaven!
This week, Phil is not going into work until 4- we are going to get our asses away from the computer, put down the yummy nutella spread on waffles, and go for walks. Its a start, and a good one.

YOU are an inspiration. Next time i'm in Texas, i'm definetly going to visit you (if thats ok with you, of course). My best friend lives there. He is an amazing guy. Phil even encourages me to go visit him- for a boyfriend to encourage his girlfriend to go visit a heterosexual male friend, you know hes amazing and honorable. And he's single ;-)

Love,
Dawn

I've battled obesity all my life. Three years ago, I managed to shed 180 lbs. off of a humongous 400 lb. frame. Then I got pregnant. And I got lazy. It's been almost a year and a half since I had the spawn, and I'm still in a constant battle.

But today, because you inspire me, and because I'm sick of feeling tired and fat all the time, I will get into my healthy habits of three years ago. Being extremely overweight is unhealthy, and I know that. And it's time to do something before it gets out of hand again.

Cheers to you, Deb. Enjoy your workout. I know I'll enjoy mine. :)

yay you! you go girl ;)

i did an 8 mile walk yesterday (i always think of you when i walk!) and promised myself i'd be back on the nordictrack this week. hard to do with everything i've got going on, but i'm committed, even if i can only sneak in a half hour.

STEP AWAY FROM THE ICE CREAM??? Nooooo!

OMG! SJ is cracking me up!

Here is how my philosophy works:

Eat the ice cream. But- walk to the store if its within 1 mile to get the ice cream, that way its all evened out, like you never had the ice cream.

I, personally, prefer Godiva Chocolate Raspberry. MMMMMMMM

Hey coincidence! I am actually in the process of spooning ice cream in my mouth while I'm reading your blog! But I have just spent the whole day writing my lesson plans for the new term so I think I deserve it. I promise I will go to the gym tomorrow Glad to hear you are able to spend some more time with Zoe :)

Hear, hear! Motion is life -- that's what I tell my clients at the gym and what I tell my children, and it's true. Even if you can't do what you did way back whenever, do what you can NOW! Just keep moving. I love you so much for this post!!!

Deb, love the post, it's so true if you do not use it you lose it. every little bit counts. enjoy your iTunes

Love your post!
If you keep moving, I will too. :o)

Hi, I just recently discovered your blog searching through the archives of a particular fashion blog, ahem. But I must say, reading your entries the past few days has really moved me to just step out of the box and live outside my miniscule life. You are a brilliant and strong woman, who still remains beautiful throughout the ordeals life throws at her. You're quite the inspiration. (:

Now! About my, um, five mile run? Oh lord.

I was healthy today!!!!

Thanks Deb. We move around quite a bit here.
I enjoyed my special welcome home from you.
Your special words mean very much to all of us.
Did Shoshie tell you the one kid was riding her
bike at 7am in her nightgown?
If you can do this we can do this.

I did my healthy thing last week - I called my doctor about my latest meds that were making me retain fluid, and got them switched back to one that was more friendly to my body. I've lost 6 pounds since last Wednesday. Nice to have clothes that fit again.

As soon as I get approval from the physical therapy people, I'll be back to the workouts too. Thanks for the kick in the ass. Err, motivation. (All the ice cream at my house is sugar-free.)

I climbed up in an indoor playground today (the kind withlots of tubes and slides). Legs are killing me.

Totally worth it to hear my Bug squeal.
