Sorry to all my loyal followers Monday was the start of week four and it was brutal and then I had a long APMA conference call and needed to just crash.
Half-Pint Meghan left today and now there is no one with any music sense left. It was a hard day as I am having alot of hip pain in my "good" hip. It is not in my joint so I am not worried. I have not quit on anything I just am not the fastest. I did buy a new bike over the weekend and really enjoyed using it yesterday what a HUGE difference from the bikes that we were riding here. I figured it was a good investment in my future health.
I know that I am making huge strides but I am still disappointed in my stamina. This program has really shown me how far I allowed myself to get out of shape. Even after 6 weeks here I will still need to work hard. This is the hardest thing that I have had to do. It is not just the physical work but it is also the mental aspect of keeping myself motivated and not pitying myself and giving up. I got myself here and now I need to get myself back.
It will be hard as I just love food and wine. It will be a huge change for me and I am thankful to have so many great friends many of whom are athletic and love the outdoors so that they will "drag" me out kicking and screaming.
Ok off to ocean swimming. Thanks again for all the support.

Just remember to keep it fun. If you enjoy it then it is not so hard :) Biking is great and swimming with the animals is fun. Choice fun activities and and learn to make other fun, then you will stay motivated in this amazing change on which you have embarked. Just remember what your end goal is. I am proud of you and you should be too! Keep up the great work!
