about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

Pilates last night. Walked in in the freezing cold (35 degrees!). Brrrr! I tried wearing the ganderman again today, and, I need to find the booklet and sit down and program the damn thing. I couldn't figure out how to set it up for a new, um, thingee/walk/etc. Please don't tell me, I am going to be so embarrassed when I learn how easy it undoubtably is.

Anyways, from what I can tell, I did a less than 14 minute/mile pace. That sounds too good to be true.

The last thing I heard on the iPod this morning was Running Bear (loves Little White Dove) by Stiff Little Fingers. Damn, I am never going to be able to get that out of my head.

Wednesday will always be Prince Spaghetti Day, but I am going to try to also make it Hill Workout Day. I'm going to go to the Vista Hill and do as much straight-up vertical hill climbing as one lunch hour will allow.

I think Marshall, in his comment, is right. I need to chill out, do my walks, follow the original plan, and see how it goes. If I'm feeling good in my 11 mile walk this weekend, that will be a very good sign.

Sounds like a plan! And good for you for throwing some hills in - that's really something I've yet to do and will probably fall flat the first time I hit the slightest incline. Have fun :)

Good! Sounds like you are on track. Just hang in there and don't sweat it. Take care.

Like Marshall said, you are moving in the right direction, keep on! And I think that they is an entire generation of people that have no idea what Prince Spaghetti day is. :)
