MILF? I'm working on that part still. I've dropped 35 lbs and am getting many more propositions, which is not the real goal by the way, but am not here yet, at least in my own eyes. I'm aiming for a lot more...Not because I want a revolving door on my bedroom but I do want to be healthier which by default makes you hotter...and seem to have stalled out.I've been tackling the caffeine addiction and made it through a couple of days with none. For someone who likes creamy, fresh, beautiful, hot, steamy coffee all day, every day that's a feat. The beer is next...I won't be declining any happy hours but will cut that back on the days that end in "y". Saves calories, my peeps. Hell, I'm already doing veggies and fruits and little, lean meat and that has not moved the scale...I will not starve myself or make drastic changes I can't deal with long term. Nope. Won't do it. Even for the short term. I'm walking the pups which has helped but poor Sprout can't hang for more than a mile and while I planned to try out Roller Derby I have not managed to get my butt in gear yet...
NEW PLAN...I had a pup that was an awesome running partner. We could go 3-5 miles and both come home happy and relaxed. I do miss him, even though he was a horrific escape artist...So, Miss Piggy doesn't know it yet, ssshhhh, but she is about to start jogging. Sprout can still do walks on off days as I'm prone to nasty shin splints, but Layla can run...I'm out of shape so she and I can get it down together. I hate running in warm weather but it's beginning to cool down here. I prefer 30-40 degree temps for a long run which seems to run counter to all the other runners I know...hopefully by the time I'm ready for a long run it will be that cool...then Layla and I can do something fun like the Dog Jog in the spring.
I want that pre-baby body...or at least the one I had after the first one. ;)
Should you still be thinking about roller derby, here's something for a little inspiration -- ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/5312 -- a short video about the “aha moment” of a young woman who credits roller derby for saving her soul.

nice goals you've set, mama!
ReplyDeleteyou can do it!
i think the caffeine is the hardest one. did you stop cold turkey?! i love me a cup of coffee in the morn. but not all day long. eek! you're a brave soul ;)
don't give up beer.. it all us rescue people have left.. LOL!
ReplyDeleteEmail me about the parvo thing. you can find my email address under "my web page"
Jack, you rock. I haven't given up on it...Just not quite able to get my butt to practice after working all day. lol
ReplyDeleteLesbo, I weaned myself but in the end went from 2 cups to 0...Then swore I'd fall on my face at any minute for a few days.
And, no not giving up beer, just drinking less of it. :)
Coffee is the only vice I have left, and I absolutely refuse to give it up.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have better luck running with Miss Piggy than I do with my dog. I end up dragging him most of the way - and I don't know why, because off-leash he's unstoppable.
Hey, go for it, great goals. It is also perspective. I am sure you will have plenty or propositions.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha...The propositions are flattering of course but I'm way past thinking that it really matters much in life. I want to feel great.
ReplyDeleteCamlin, we started with a Gentle Leader and had really good luck. He was smart as hell though so we'll see how Layla does.
Oh, and lesbo, No (hangs head), smoking is the hardest. When I can indulge in a runner's high though it is easier.
ReplyDeleteNo, not beer!!!
