Pam's October Journal Entry
Here are a few thoughts on the eve of my big walk……………………
I miss:
- Walking for fun
- 20 miles is not FUN, I will be glad to walk on the parkway again
- I almost walked the parkway last week for 10 miles so you all would only have to walk ¼ mile to make the goal, but then I figured you all could handle the 10 miles without me J
- Thank you for all your support and encouragement, you have all in your own ways kept me going
- Counting points
- None of that if you do not eat you will faint, I gave up when I ate a 20 point lunch one day it is too depressing
- Shopping with Deborah
- This is the time of year to catch bargains just before Christmas she is a great bargain finder
- High Heels
- I will be the shortest person in the house in a couple of years you know you are getting old when you have to look up to your kids
- I think if I attempted a high heel I would break my ankle so I will wait
- Life without Advil
- My body is in pain all the time it is not made to walk 20 miles daily
- I thought it was me, but I found out some people take it before they work out all the time, imagine that………….
- Free time
- Training takes at least 3 hours a day this last two months, more on the weekends
- Free time not down time I want to decline party invitations because I don’t want to go not because I am too busy or tired
- Pedicures
- I stopped looking at my toes when I got the first blister, I pity the person that must work on me Monday ( I will not go to work that day I will be at the spa with some of my fellow walkers)
- Thinking about Goal Weight
- When I started I was 6 pounds from goal weight ; I stopped weighting myself when I gained 5 pounds so who knows how far I am now
- Don’t give me the muscle/ fat argument weight is weight and I am far from goal weight
- BUT……I created a new goal I WILL finish this walk and raise money and awareness about Breast Cancer THEN deal with the weight goal next year (no since in starting something before Thanksgiving and Christmas)
I hope to see you all at the party in November,
Pam

Congratulations From The Big Apple
I want to say congratulations and extend my warmest regards to a great group of people. I wish I could have been there and lived through the moment when the Nameless Walking Group went over the top. I couldn't be there in person but certainly was there in spirit.
Hope you are all doing well. Perhaps we will have an opportunity to see each other sometime during the holiday season. In any event please savor the accomplishment. You own the moment!
Later....Gary
