Thank you Catmom

it's water under the bridge now...

our health/well being is our Freedom... After being in la la land for 2 years the first thing I ever did when my circuit breakers started switching back on for awareness,, was have the courage to take a 15 minute walk up the road and back

I pulled a crazy number out of my head and decided I would walk 1000 miles in 2010, wasn't a thought about making the 1000 miles it was the thought of having a number to always be pushing forward for. Walking got me so far, but I couldn't do more as my body was weak and loose couldn't sustain or support me.. So P90X I never lifted weights before, always heard you could hurt yourself doing it wrong or over working body parts.. P90X said it was a professionally designed program laid out for total body results lol lol I believed them lol ..,, I became a running fool lol and finished my 1000 miles 1028 to be exact Dec 29th 2010...
Am doing another 1000 mile challenge this year again I had such a fun time in 2010. I'm one in many with similar stories to share.. Alma I met in my Corso Group 2 years ago. She use to be a lawyer strong confident self made woman.. Then got too busy with her work and the stress of her job to make good daily choices for ourselves. Gained weight, health warning signs that she ignored to stay on top of her job. She was stricken down 6 years ago with Fibromalgia (sp) over time, total disability lost her job, bed ridden most of the time with her only activity was going to doctor visits.. I started her off with just walking and eating right being good to herself, last year she completed Rockin Body several times, did her first ever 5 mile fun run/walk, this year we are starting off with Pump... So so thrilled for her. She has set backs hasn't been an easy quick fix, but it's real life and to see her continue to move forward because she knows she can.
So many more people I have met over the years... no matter what you do, find what you love and do it. We do tend to forget to care for ourselves as we are always taking care of everyone else... OK lol my little pep talk for the NEW YEAR for all of us.... just make it the best...
