Today I took my dog for a walk with my little sister. I had already walked about half a mile (1/4 uphill) with my best friend's mom, but I wasn't tired yet and figured why not?
The walk is really long. I don't know the distance for sure. But we would have been gone for about an hour because it's mostly uphill, then it loops down and around gradually until you are on a side street, which takes you down the first huge hill you walked up, and then we walk across town back home. It's quite the workout.
Well, we got a little surprise today. At the very top of the hill, our highest point before heading back toward the house, we ran into a little black pug. The little kids came out of the house to get him and it was no big deal. They got him back into the yard and everything was fine.
Or so I thought. We got to the BOTTOM of the hill after the house. It loops down and around. Very steep and turn-y. From behind me, I hear little voices screaming. What do I see but a little pug running after us? And the two little itty bitty kids running barefoot after him.
My dog is a golden retriever and the biggest wuss around. She started to freak out, yanking me around. The little kids tried to get ahold of their dog, but they were too small.
You know what I did? I picked up their pug under one arm, took my dog's leash in my other hand, and we trekked back UP the windy steep hill of death. I was literally carrying a 20-30 lb pug under my left arm with my golden retriever yanking my right, and went back up the dreaded hill I had just descended from.
Needless to say, there was still about another 20 minute walk back down the hill and across town to home after that, so we were gone for a bit of extra time.
Surprisingly, even though I'm quite tired, I feel great. I helped out those little kids, and got a little extra exercise in. :) I would do it all again if I had to.
Hope everyone had a great day!

Everything has been going really well. I'm very strict with myself, and I know that it's just what I need.
Something that I didn't mention before is that I am very Straight Edge. For those who don't know what that means, I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs of any kind. The only supply of medicine I take is in Advil for headaches and my allergy medicine and inhaler for my asthma. Other than that, nothing. I feel like it would be letting myself down to give in to all of these things.
This feeling made me realize that I should be acting the same way toward how I've been living for the last 14 years. If I go back to eating like I was and not exercising, I will let myself down. If I can deal with pressures from friends and strangers to do all of those things I won't let into my body, I should be able to battle myself and get through this and get healthy. It's for ME, after all.
But yes. My goal in life is to be a size 7 or less. And by George, I know this time I won't let myself down.

I'm 19 years old and more than 100 pounds overweight. I've had a boyfriend, never even been kissed, and I know it's because of my weight. My family isn't very supportive, so it's time to get it done myself. I have faith that I can do it even if no one close to me does. I look in the mirror and am not too fond of what I see. My weight has given me severe asthma, and I'm hoping in a year I will be a happier, healthier me. It's going to be a lot of work, but I'm ready for it.
I've been overweight since I was five years old. I got my tonsils and adnoids out, and the steroids that I was put on made me blow up roughly like a balloon. The eating habits of my family didn't really help either. Now I've taken a step back from it all and decided that I don't need to have anyone's approval to make me happy and to get healthy. I just need me, and that's all that matters at this point. I'm going to work my butt off and make it work! :D
