Dear J,
My, it’s been a long time since I’ve written. But, since we last corresponded, I’ve lost more weight, about five or six more pounds. It’s not a lot but as the fable of the tortoise and the hare teaches, slow and steady wins the race. So for now, I am winning. My hubs has lost almost 50 lbs. now and he and I keep each other honest. Since it’s absolutely, Southern California gorgeous out here today I need to get my hiney outside and enjoy a cool running. But instead I will mow and do yard work both here at for my Daddio.
I haven’t been running regularly for about a week and a half now and it’s driving me crazy. I’ve just been slammed with all the realities of kids starting back to school, volunteer commitments creeping back up on me and of course, life in general. Last night, as I was filling in dates on my calendar of crap-I-have-to-do, it struck me that working out was not on that list. I need to plug it in! I mean, what’s the good of being home all day if I can’t use some of that free time to sweat my large booty off?
Since I wasn’t chosen for The Biggest Loser (which I’m still sad about because I would have been SO GOOD on television), I’ve decided to be my own Jillian Micheals and kick my own ass. I’m pretty good at it. I’ve been kicking my own ass since I was 10 and started gaining weight. But now, instead of beating myself up over how fat I am, I am encouraging myself to get out there and DO IT and making positive ass-kicking statements to myself and playing the “Eye of the Tiger” soundtrack in my head.
So how are you and yours? Hopefully I will see you at Z’s wedding, I will be there in all my sleeveless dress glory!
Love,
A
