</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">MY PLAN</span> THIS WEEK IS TO START EXERCISING.</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">YEAH, ITS BEEN AWHILE AND I'M STILL USING THE EXCUSE THAT THE ELLIPTICAL IS IN THE SHOP AND IT IS FREEZING OUT THERE.</span></span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">MY GOAL</span> IS TO SIMPLY WALK TO THE MAILBOX AND BACK AT LEAST TWICE A DAY</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">THEN INCREASE IT AS THE WEEK GOES ON.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I KNOW THAT IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MUCH, BUT HAVING A PLAN AND A GOAL WILL GIVE ME DIRECTION ON THIS JOURNEY. </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">IF I WERE TO GO GET ON MY ELLIPTICAL RIGHT NOW I'D LAST ONLY A FEW MINUTES. THAT WOULD LEAVE ME DISCOURAGED AND NOT VERY EXCITED TO TRY AGAIN LATER.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">WE HAVE WALK BEFORE WE RUN.....</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">THAT'S WHY I'M TAKING THESE BABY STEPS.</span></strong><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I stood at the bathroom sink with a handful of pills, I wondered "who was this person who needed medication for blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid, cholesterol, and heart". Barely on the edge of 40 and taking the same prescriptions as a grandmother.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I looked in the mirror at the hair salon, I barely recognized the woman who was staring back. How had she changed so much in such a short time? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I saw my reflection in the window, I couldn't help but wonder who was that person sitting in my chair at the dinner table.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who is this person who has grown beyond recognition? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I sit here tonight, I realize it is me. Somehow I have morphed into someone I no longer recognize. Surely I am not 150 pounds overweight. Obesity can't be a word to describe me. <u><strong>AND YET IT IS!</strong></u></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So with nervousness, vulnerability, and certainty I begin my <em><strong>JOURNEY TO A HEALTHIER ME.</strong></em></span>carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06430819107220134039noreply@blogger.com3
