It’s a Slimmin Down Saturday!

Okay, obviously I can’t just miraculously wake up and be slimmer…but I think y’all know what I mean.  I had a rough week this week.  Then for some reason apparently even though I’ve had a hysterectomy, my one lone ovary started working some serious overtime and I had ALL the symptoms of PMS!  Really??  I’m thinking it may be time for some natural hormones or something.  I really can’t take the mood swings and such.  Call me crazy but it seems to be a pretty bad thing when you don’t even want to be around you! ;-)  Although, after seeing my honey last night :D I was feeling a little lost.  Most of you probably know I’m not around too terribly much on Saturdays.  I really was not quite sure what to do with myself.  So I chatted with a friend briefly on IM and then she text me to tell me that she was going walking…so I finished my movie and headed to the lake to walk with her…unfortunately, we only got about a half a mile or so before her knee was hurting so bad she just couldn’t make it around the lake.  We sat enjoying the weather for a bit…then I came home and did a 4 mile walk with Leslie Sansone.  Those who have been around awhile know I love me some Leslie!  I feel much better having got a workout in.  I did forget to take my blood pressure meds last night so I have a slight headache.  I know the workouts are helping a great deal.

Other decisions were made this week too.  I decided that I would walk for my bank’s team for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.  I know there are many that are going through hard times, but if you feel it on your heart to donate, here is the link to my page: http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY09PL?px=9663135&pg=personal&fr_id=17444&fl=en_US&s_tafId=28942

I will actually give some credit to the “tribe” for helping me make that decision.  I am trying to talk Chris into walking with me as well.  What could be better than having the love of my life walking next to me for such a wonderful cause?  Yep, I hear ya…my love AND my bestest buddies walking with me for such a wonderful cause!  That would definitely be better!  Y’all feel like flying into Dallas for a walk?  LOL

I know there’s much that goes on during the week that I simply cannot seem to catch up on.  Please know that I do try to log on more frequently and do check my email as often as I can, but I can’t get on BS at all anymore at work because it’s blocked.  Kama, Anj, Nancy, Nicole and Lori are copying and pasting things they want to talk about in emails for me because it just makes me crazy.  I’m trying to do better at getting on…but sometimes it seems to be all I can do to log my food and get my workouts in.  Okay…this is going to be a good week…food-wise and exercise wise…it has to be!

    That’s cool you signed up. I have been thinking of doing an AIDS walk…

    I was actually supposed to volunteer on a committee for the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life in my area, but the meetings always conflicted with my other volunteer assignments. Maybe next year! Or if they still need volunteers the day off I can sign up! I love to help our organizations dear to my heart — my sister died from cancer at the age of 16. Its good that you wanna help such a great cause.

    Great job with the workouts! Keep it up. Enjoy your Leslie walks :)

    I’m so glad you are doing it! I know I am going to donate at least at least $10 for you to do the run or more but will do so on the 15th ok?

    Hey, I got your text about the walk! I’m glad you went and did your Leslie video mama!

    I hope Chris does it with you and if he’s reluctant, learn from me - force him to! :)

    Hey, Trace.. great job on the walk and workout.. got your text on it, but we were at the bank! I’m glad you decided to do the walk.. my grandfather and my SIL both died from cancer. I’m wanting to do the breast cancer 3 day.. but the registration fee is crazy!! Hope you have a good Sunday!! I’m off to bed! (((Hugs)))
