Did it!! Doing it!!!

Did It!!!  Doing It!!!!   I am so excited about writing this post I could just bust a gut!!!!!!!  I have this awesome friend at work named Amber.  She makes me laugh. She keeps me awake. She is just a wonderful person to work with.  Well, a few weeks ago, I think about 3 now, I challenged her to go and run/walk with me.  The first time I mentioned it, she looked at me like I had completely lost my mind.  She finally took me up on it.  I was really nice.  We walked the first half (1 mile) at a pretty good pace for walking and then on the way back, I challenged her to run for 1 minute.  Well, she did it!!!!!  She was still alive and we didn't need to call EMS.  We went back to work the following week and she was very excited!!!!!!    I decided to challenge a few others at the hospital to come and go with us.  Amber even told them that could do it!  This past Sunday we were suppose to meet up with some others and well........they were all no-shows.  Of course me in my "Jillian" frame of mind decided I would push/challenge her a bit.  Off we went.  Walked the first part just like we usually do and then we ran.  We ran. We walked. We ran. We walked.  We talked and chatted and laughed. She swears she will not eat pizza before we run again.....hahahaha!  My only advice to her when we were done was that she needed to 1)drink a lot of water 2) take 4 Advil and 3) take 4 more before she went to bed.  She did a FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!!!!   Tonight she text me to let me know her hip joints were sore.  I advised her that she needed to take that Advil!!!!  She proceeded to show me and explain to me that she was wearing a pair of pants that were to tight and now there was room in the waist of the pants!!!!!!  WHOOO HOOO!!!!!  I am so excited for her!!!!!!  So proud!!!!!!!  I think she is even going to sign up for a 2 mile race in June.    Exercise/Cardio/Running/Nutrition-----IT WORKS IF YOU WANT IT TO!!!!!!!!  The key is that YOU have to WANT it!!!!!  STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND DO IT!!!!
