One thing I have wondered is if I could beat my mom at the mile and the answer is....No! She has got me right now. I decided to hop on the treadmill (in my jeans, stupid me) and see what I could do. By 1/2 a mile I was done. I did that 1/2 in 9 minutes to my moms 8 minutes. But that's ok because John gave me one of the best presents ever. He told me it is time for me to get back to the gym! So either in the morning (which is when I would rather go) or after dinner I am off to Anytime Fitness. I had planned on starting on Tuesday but with John in the hospital I am going to weight till either the end of the week or next monday. I just couldn't believe that I was not able to do a mile! I'm blaming it on the Jeans :)
Now on to the people in my life who mean the most to me that I wish would get on board with this. I love these 3 people so much. They are my family and friends. People I would love to see them watch their children grow, look and feel better, and have so much more of a better life...
My Daddy. You would think that someone who has already had bypass surgery would have had a wakeup call. But nope...not at all. He eats bread with his butter, works crazy hours, and stresses way too much. Then he doesn't eat anything at ll. He goes from one extreme to the next. I want my daddy around for a long time. Who else can I talk Notre Dame football too and watch wrestling with me and John. The man who has always taught me to do whatever you need to do to support your family. I know for him that meant financially but for me that is just the tip of supporting your family because if you aren't healthy the rest isn't going to matter.
My Best Friend: You have one of the cutiest little girl who loves you more than anything. You have lost weight before and I see that you have lost weight but I hope you keep going. I hope you start moving more. I wish I was closer to you to go out and do things with you. I hope that we can start dancing again soon. I would never want to lose you in life because there would be an empty piece of me. We have been through so many things and you have been my safe place to fall and my best friend.
My Man: You scare me the most. Yup you are older and I'm gonna trow that out there. You have a health problem, one of the scariest ones out there that you have to live with. I would just like you to monitor your diabeties more. You have been doing so much better but now we need to get the food under control. I say we because I am the one who cooks the food and I should take what you should and shouldn't eat into account more. I know that this is my "diet" and not yours but you need it too. I'm not asking for you to give up red meat (I'm sure not) and eat just salads (we aren't rabbits). I'm asking that you start eating breakfast, not going for seconds, and eating out a little less. I'm asking to please goto the gym once or twice a week. I'm not asking you to change over night just small steps. I am asking you to be with me for a long time. Beable to keep up with me. And most important be there to watch Boogies grow up. We need you and we love you.
