meltingaway

As always my exercise routine has been hit and miss.  I have amazing intentions and little follow through.  I don’t eat myself up over it anymore.  I just try to do more than not do.  I have wasted too much time beating myself over shoulda, coulda, wouldas. 

A while back I wrote a blog about exercising with friends.  I didn’t think about it when I posted a link on my twitter page to my blog.  One of my friends has been reading it, but she didn’t say anything about it until last night.  My first thought was have I said anything about her.  My second thought was who cares, she’s a real friend and I hope she would understand the purpose of this blog. 

Back to the point, April and I went walking last night.  And I realized the benefit of having her with me.  I wouldn’t have walked the entire lake loop with out her.  I would have been overly self conscious about being there on my own.  Not to mention a girl was raped there a couple years back.  It happened while April and I were there walking and we didn’t hear a thing.  We read about it in the newspaper the next day.  Needless to say we don’t go walking there alone. Back to the point, again, she helped my realize that even though the scales haven’t moved much in the past few weeks I am still making progress.  I didn’t need to stop and rest, however, I did stop to use the restroom.  In the past I would stop after 15 minutes, then turn around and gone back to the car after I had rested.  Not any more, we did the entire 5k loop!  I haven’t done the entire loop in years.  April pointed out all these facts, I had not realized how bad I was before. 

 I went to the second job interview at Wal-Mart this morning.  It went well and I should get a call back this afternoon.  I will have one more interview to pass before the final decision is made.  I did found out there are 2 positions open in apparel.  That makes my odds even better!

I hope everyone is having a great week!
