Not feeling too talkative tonight. I am tarred (tired for those not from the south) and looking to get to bed soon. I do want to talk about something that was pointed out to me this weekend by Lauren. I apparently was getting old under my fat face, cause now I am showing some wrinkles around my eyes folks. Now I should probably be upset, but I am not. In fact, I would classify this as an NSV!! I have been ogling them for two days now and I have come to love them and what they represent. I am doing it folks. I am losing enough weight to allow my wrinkles to show up!! I thought about this for a good part of my walk at Wal Mart this morning. I love finding the small things like that and just enjoying them, cherishing them and dreaming of more NSVs to come!!
The soreness from this weekend was running deep this morning. I decided that I would not go full speed at Wal Mart for my walk this morning but 3/4 speed to let the blood get to the muscles and stretch them out. It seems to have worked, my legs are not as sore now. Tomorrow it is back to the program for me!!
Hi Shane:) You are doing so great! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up! NSV will keep coming! :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope I embrace wrinkles as well as you do!!! You are so great for being so positive. Great job. And...doesnt the pain from your active weekend even feel a little bit GOOD???? Like you are proud of it even? I was like that after my first 5k. I thought, "I am sore...I must be a runner...yaaaay!"

I think your one of the only people i know who are happy to get wrinkles :) Maybe i need to start looking at mine in a different light!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! Mom always said wrinkles add character to one's face.
ReplyDeletego go go go go!!
ReplyDeleteand yes.
Im a newbie southerner who knew precisely what you meant.
I tarrrred too :)
The wrinkles won't kill you but the fat will. So, good for you Shane!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way...I love my wrinkles around my eyes, especially my "laugh lines" (not my "frown lines"!) Congrats on your NSV! I hope you get some good sleep last night.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know about that! My wrinkles on my forehead came out and I now look like a Klingon!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Haven't found my wrinkles yet. Not going to look for them. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis Alabama girl is "tarred" from the weekend too! I am new to your blog. Enjoying reading about your progress :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your journey. You are certainly inspiring! I have a question about your Wal-Mart walks...Do you walk inside a few laps? Around the outside? Do tell. My Wal-Mart has just been super sized and I was thinking about your walks when I was in there one day and tried to figure out what exactly you were talking about. Anyway, thank you for the inspiration and motivation. My blog is coming along and I'm having trouble staying consistent in writing but I would be happy if anyone wanted to check it out. Peace.
