FINDING JULES

This is to chronicle a journey that I began in September 2005. A weight loss journey is what it started out as, but I am coming to find it is more than that it is about being almost 40 and still needing to find out who I am, what I stand for, what my purpose is and what brings me joy! And I am hoping as I peel off the layers of fat, I can find the person I am meant to be and be happy!

JUST CALL ME SCARDY CAT


Where do the days go!!! We are already in fall and heading toward winter. I must say I am not a cold weather person and exercising in the cold will be a true test of my desire to achieve my goal!! This weekend we had a 9 mile walk. We were up, and it was still dark. What are we bats??? So we headed out at 6 a.m. and began are 9 miles on a dark unlit trail. Now as you know, as always, there are lots of scary shows and movies on TV, as we build up to Halloween night. So I would have to say my mind was in a scary movie kind of mind set. So as we began our walk down the dark trail, I keep hearing things moving in the brush. Laurie and I were talking, but I must admit I had one ear intently listening for anything scary moving in the bushes. I am thinking, "why do I not own a can of mace!!" The next thing I know something jumps in the air and right into a bush. My reaction was to almost jump into Laurie's arms and make her carry me all the way back to the car. Thought I would help her out with her strength training...NOT!!! So this Halloween, I saved a few bucks, and stayed with my workout routine. Instead of paying to go to the haunted corn maze, I just kept with my normal workout routine, add one dark trail, and "poof" my dose of scare for the holiday season!!

No offense, but I'm really glad we made it through that walk without me having to carry you! I'm glad to see you've updated the blog. Only 26 more days!
