Celebrating with exercise === ME!!!??
on 6/5/11 8:31 am
Yep -- today is my 2 year "Bandiversary" and I celebrated it by setting my alarm clock for 4:45am and going to a long walk.
I left the house a little after 5 and got home 4 hours and 20 minutes later, having walked 14 miles.
I stopped a few times to buy water and a banana -- but mostly just walked, walked walked -- and counted the many ways that I am grateful for having the life I have.
I have a wonderful husband, a modest home, cars to drive, a job that fulfils me, enough to eat, more than enough of the excesses of life, a dog who makes me laugh and makes me move, family and friends beyond what I deserve.
My band has been a wonderful tool. It takes my hard work and turns it into success. It lets me eat a small amount of well-planned, healthy food and be satisfied.
I am grateful!!

Happy, Happy, Happy 2 year Bandiversary Kath!
I wasn't on the computer much while on vacation so I missed your special post. 2 years and so much change in your life for the better! I'm so proud of you and all the hard work that you are putting into getting healthier each day. You have really motivated me to push myself with the exercise! I can't begin to thank you enough for all the support you have given me. This board is lucky to have you for all the support and knowledge that you provide.
A 14 mile walk sounds fabulous! Wish we lived closer! If you ever visit Iowa...hahaha....let me know.
Hugs,
Kristi
