For YOU!

I had the most amazing workout yesterday.  I did my three miles on the tread, and lifted for another 20 minutes after that.  I immediately went outside to sit for a minute, and noticed how heinous my backyard looked.  Dave had raked the side and front yards, but hadn’t gotten around to the front. So stupid me, I go grab the rake.  Four hours later, I finished.  Today, I can barely move.  I will never ever say to Dave again ” You just did yard work” when arguing about who does all the work around here. He can totally have the yard work, and I will clean toilets and mop floors with great pleasure from this point on.

Note to self: when recovered from concussion and black eyes, go to Wal-Mart and buy smaller, properly fitting sports bras.

On a happier note, I finally retrieved all of my old clothes from the bee attic, without incident.  I was packin’ Raid, and thankfully did not need to use it.  I found a zillion things to wear, and am now fitting my fatness into a size 10..YES!!! Some of the pants are a bit of a squeeze, and I definitely could not wear them if I wanted to do things, like say, move or breathe…But 3 pairs of size 10 pants fit, and I am most certainly going to rock the shit outta them as often as I can!  

While I was on the treadmill yesterday, I found my mind wandering off  to all of you. To all of you that have written me, to all that are following these posts and laughing and crying right along with me. I have to be honest here, I don’t think that I would be half as diligent as I have been if it were not for writing these stories.  While I was busting my hump on the tread, I could actually picture each of you doing this with me.  We WILL get there, we WILL succeed.   You and this blog have kept me going, making me stick this out and see the results I was looking for.  Thank you, all of you, for being here for me, every single day.  Today’s post and playlist song is dedicated to YOU,  for your hard work, diligence, commitment, and for your daily support…You all know who you are,  and I love you for sharing yourselves with me, and working like dogs with me.  And if you find yourselves needing just one more push….Today I give special recognition to my cousin, Heather Witherell, who, at 39 weeks pregnant, continues teaching cardio and martial arts classes, while STILL doing her own daily workouts…..You go girl, you are MY inspiration….now have that baby please!

 This one is for you…Pat Benatar..MAN she is still hot!  Let’s rock it ladies….”Invincible”
