pontificating

Sunday steps: 7143

The local newspaper printed my article about the 10,000 Step Program today. And, the 10K Step program even linked it from their site. That was nice of them. The only thing they changed was the little bio blurb I sent them at the bottom of the article. They made it read a little more smoothly, I guess.

Glad that they don't publish the photo online that they use in the column. It is about 5 years old now and I have changed. I am starting to see the change when I look at recent older photos. It's fun to begin to see the differences that other people keep mentioning to me.

While we were in Anchorage two people remarked on it. Today another friend sent me an email and mentioned it. So, I just need to convince myself to stay with the program and tough it out when I want to quit walking or when I want a candy bar or bag of chips or whatever the craving is.

It's interesting about cravings, isn't it? They can be so strong - make you cave in - and then you realize that it wasn't worth it at all. No real satisfaction - just a momentary bit of pleasure.

The thing I have to tell myself is to just keep on taking it in small steps - pun intended. While it may seem like I grew this big overnight, I know full well, that I didn't. And, that means that I know - in my head - full well, that it won't come off overnight. So, each pound and each extra step are each small victories. Hard fought, hard won, long appreciated.

Hmmm - I've got the sneezies tonight, so I am going to get out of here. You all have a wonderful Tuesday.
