You have got to be kidding me!!!!!!

So, I chose to watch TV this morning. Probably should not have. I was blown away with what they were discussing. Get ready for this...... For the low price of about $1800 you can go and see a physician and he will place a tube down your nose to your stomach. He will have to leave the tube hanging out of your nose to attach to a pump that is going to feed you. 800 whopping calories per day. No eating allowed. Now, you get to do this for 10 days prior to your wedding, reunion or whatever event you have coming up. I thought I was going to throw up. Then I thought I could ring their necks!!!! What are their bridal portraits going to look like with an NG tube hanging out their nose. Can you say "photoshop?". I was saddened at the fact that people are really doing this. What in the world are we thinking? Working at the hospital, most of the patients that I see with NG tubes don't leave their room because of the tube hanging out. It was totally sad. So, all of that being said....if you would like to pay me the small fee of $1800 I would be more than happy to help you loose weight and I promise, I won't put a tube down your nose. Nor will I only allow you 800 calories a day. I will push you. I will keep you accountable. I will encourage you. I can be your personal "Jillian". The key.....YOU HAVE TO WANT IT AND WORK!!! What do you think? Would you? I think you know how I feel....haha! Pam A.k.a.....Jillian to my friends

New Years Resolutions.......REALLY??!!!

So it is now April.....are you still sticking with your New Years Resolutions?  Have you met your goals? Are you still working on them?  Have you just basically thrown in the towel and said "Forget It!" 

 

I have had my moments of wanting to throw in the towel.  Just tell myself to forget it and get on with life.  That is not an option.  My sweet husband will always ask...."Have you been for a run today?" or "Have you been to the gym lately?".  He will be the first to tell you that when there is no sweat in my life, that my attitude and entire being changes.  It's all about getting my workout done. It's about getting my run in.  It completely changes me!!!!!!

 

Amber (bless her heart) is still run/waling with me.  Trina is going to go again I hope and we have even had a few more say that they are interested in joining us but none as of yet.  It's just so much better running with friends than running alone.  There is a time and place for running alone but when someone volunteers to come with you, don't dare turn it down. 

 

I got the new Runners World.  Lots to share from that.  Small quotes and things to consider.  I am going to post them on the next post and then we can discuss them or you can just agree with them. 

 

Exciting times!!!!!!  Half-Marathon in Myrtle Beach is coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Pam

Whooohooooo !!!!!!!!!

So sorry this is a little late but it's never to late to congratulate someone!!!!!! Congrats to my friend Trina. I'm so very proud of her. She accepted the challenge to go for a run with Amber and I. This girl was serious. She showed up in her uniform from work. She knew if she went home, she would not come. I was totally blown away!!!!! Amber and I encouraged and pushed. She did it!!!!! Walk/ran 2 full miles with a smile on her face. I can't wait for her to come and pin us again!!!!!!! You go girl!!!!!!! Pam
