Good grief! I've been a tad lax in adding info here...lol Short attention span and nothing really new to comment on. I'm still plodding along with the weight loss and healthy lifestyle. I have days where it just seems futile, but I get over it fairly quickly. I've had a bad chest cold for the last couple of weeks so my running has definitely taken a back seat, but I'll be back at it this morning now that I'm starting to feel human again. I went to a reunion of a bunch of women that I went to high school with a few days ago. Very interesting to see how we've all changed. I thought I would recognize Lois immediately because she always had such a distinctive look - but I would have easily passed her without a glance if she hadn't approached me first. She is OLD!! I mean - she has really allowed herself to become an old woman. She looks old, she walks old, and she talks old. I told Holly that I plan to never get that kind of mentality no matter how old my body is and she agreed. Irene Frazer and Holly look very much the same, but I didn't recognize Diane either. Everybody told me I look fabulous - they never got to see me in my fat years. I came away from that meeting with a really good sense of self and a strong resolve to keep doing what I've been doing. I don't see the payoff day to day, but it's obviously working. I'm seriously thinking about training for a half marathon. Just thinking.
