A nother couple of good days
Well, my day was just totally made this afternoon.
It actually started just before noon. I went to see Dr. Atkinson and Monica stopped me on the way out. Monica is Dr. Atkinson's secretary. A very nice (and very christian) lady who acts like a second mother to me. Anyways, Monica's been shocked and delighted as I've lost my 40-some lbs. and she wants to do it too.
So, anyways, she told me I'd inspired her to start walking the track in the Alumni Arena gym (where I workout, but I use the treadmills, not the track) and she's taking a spinning class (exercycle with visualization, as I understand it) this semester.
So that was Yay #1
Yay #2: The bigger of the Yays.
I was walking back to my car, having tried to work the kinks out of the schedule (almost there!) and a girl I've seen at the gym a couple of the time stops me and she says "You've lost a lot of weight" to which I agree. She asks me how. I give the usual answer... lots of exercise and eating better.. and she's like "Yeah, I've seen you jog. How long do you jog?" 30 minutes. "How on earth can you keep jogging like that?" Apparently, she'd been trying to jog for a while, but she can't keep it up. I SHOULD have told her I take breaks every 10 or 15 minutes (or so), but I didn't. I told her the other part.. I just took it a minute at a time until I got all 30 minutes done. She was impressed. She said I was her inspiration as well.
A near total stranger :)
Woooo :)
So that's why today's been good.
Poor Dave, tho. He had to put his kitty, Pud, to sleep. Pud was 15 and getting really sick. He's really upset about it. (I would be to. It's like if I had to put Smokey, my cat (Yes, we have five cats.. but Smokey is my fave. She's taken to me and I her), to sleep.)
Poor Dave :(
So, anyways, yesterday was good. Yesterday, I went cyberbowling (like midnite bowling, but from 10-12) and a good time was had by all (I did better than last week.. high score being 81 instead of 70 something. A slight improvement.
Can't remember what else.. but yesterday was a pretty good day too.
