January 28, 2010

Walked three miles yesterday and had pork chops and salad for dinner. Lunch was chicken and salad (luckily lunch at work was something I could eat).
Am thinking of trying to train for the Susan G. Koman 3 day walk for breast cancer. It will be held this year in St. Petersburg Halloween weekend. Three days twenty miles a day. I feel that if I were sixty pounds lighter it would be much easier for me to walk that many miles. I have nine months to lose the weight, raise the $2400 registration and monies needed to enter, and train for the walk. Worst case scenario... I walk for nine months, get into better shape, lose weight and don't raise enough money. Sounds like a winning proposition to me.
When I mention my plans to my husband, he pretty quickly changes the subject and also wants to know why I want to try something that difficult. (It's a goal)
When I tell my mother, her response is "you'll never be able to raise that much money". Probably true, but why not encourage the journey instead?
