Its time for change....

“This is not who I want to be and it is worth any reasonable amount of effort to change this.” I admitted to myself I did not feel healthy and I did not like the way I looked. I got winded to easy, I did not fit into my clothes, I needed to change for me. I knew it would be work and decided it was worth work. I have a great support system, and without their help this adventure of mine would just be a dream.

My sister Pooja takes care of the 2 brats, and the dog, while I go to the gym. Who knows what I would have done without here. I should thank her more, I know.. Sweating it out, I see other folks look and wonder does this lady have a train to catch?? They have hardly ever seen me at the gym before and now I am a fixture there. I still have'nt mustered up the courage to let them know that I am running the SF Marathon, mostly for fear of ridicule. I know its a great cause and only 5% of the population can actually say that they have competed in a marathon...then why do I worry?? I worry cos when I take the spinning class with Skip I am huffing and puffing 20 minutes into the workout, he would think I am simply NUTS...But you know what - I am going to let them know tomorrow, lets see what they say.

Went to Costco, stocked up on good healthy good. I figure, its about time I set a good example for the kids. They eat just too much junk...so the pineapple, mandarin oranges, and the frozen berries would be a good substitute to their M & Ms and fish, and crackers. Maybe this is a sign of good things to come for all of us :)
