Update

This week marks Week 4 of my healthier living style. I have done really well...better than I thought I was going to do at first. I have still been able to eat out with friends, but eat within reason. I have cut out alcohol....now, I know I don't have to cut it out, but I chose to. It has empty calories and I didn't drink that much anyway. But If I do want to have a drink, I will go with something lower calorie than a Margarita. I know I can get on my friends nerves by repeating how many calories are in something, but it helps keep ME on track...lol

And as of this Tuesday, all of my Work-Out Buddies have flaked on me!! I am going to the Fitness Center alone now. I have come to the realization that if I want to rely on anyone, it needs to be MYSELF! If I wait for other people, It will never get done. Yesterday, I had my first negative interaction at the center....There was this younger guy lifting weights behind me. Well, he eventually made his way up to the treadmills, which is what I was doing. I was the only one on one....He kept going to each one, and I guess none of them were working for him. So I put my music on pause and took out my ear bud...Then I told him that the one close to me was working if he wanted to use it. He looked at me like I was CRAZY!!! I was in shock....like he was too good to use the treadmill close to me? I don't bite, and he wasn't cute...so It wasn't for any reason like that!! I guess he thought something else of it other than the fact I was just trying to be helpful. Jerk!! So, he finally got one of the treadmills on the very opposite end of me to work. Like I have cooties or something....If I see him again in there, I will let him look stupid searching for a treadmill that works!! haha

So, I did some research online yesterday.....I am debating on doing a 5K Walk/Run. Of course I would be walking( too un co-ordinated to run, and not hurt myself..lol), maybe with spurts of jogging. There is one in Dallas in December. It is around White Rock Lake. I don't have to pre-register, I can just do it the morning of..or wait until the week of....And the awesome thing, it's only $5!!!! It's going to be cold, but I can deal with that...I think. But, I don't want to do it ALONE.....that's where my uncertainty comes in. I know, in my previous paragraph I said to rely on no one to do something, but this isn't something I HAVE to do, it's something I want to do as a bonus for my hard work at changing my ways. Now, I need to find someone to join me...
