February pretty well sucked!!!! My wonderful hubby got laid off, Sassy died, and seven days before closing, our financing fell through and we lost our house. YUCK, YUCK, triple YUCK!!!!!!
And I’ve discovered that I weigh even more than previously feared. I had some stuff frozen and cut off at the dermatologist’s office the other day (SOOOOO glad to be back in Dr. Schaefer’s expert care!) and borrowed hubby’s around-the-house lounge pants so that my clothing wouldn’t rub on the wound on my hip too much. FRIGHTENING moment!!!!!!!!!!!! They weren’t really that baggy! Well, maybe that was the straw the broke the camels back – or maybe it was all this EXTRA FAT I’m carrying around. But on Tuesday, I started running. We take the dogs for a walk after work every day, and for the second part of our outing, I ran/jogged all the way around the tax office. I was a little sore, but really felt good afterwards. Yesterday, I was even looking forward to it after work! I ran from the just past the insurance buildings to the tax office and then made two laps of running down and walking back from the street to the storage units across the field. Then we walked the dogs a little farther and I made two more laps running all the way down and back. Finally we walked the dogs another loop around the insurance buildings to cool down. Haven’t lost any weight yet…
I’ll try to post more often and will hopefully have some progress to share.
