Hello Everyone,
Wow, it's so nice to read your posts and wow a big hug of thanks for your support. Welcome back Balboa45 and congrats on your AF days. Welcome Mein and I agree, please don't beat yourself up, we all had our struggles and a BIG WELCOME hug to you. I can totally relate to the "depression" too, slowly but surely I am getting through it. Janice, it's always such a pleasure reading your posts, it's like I am almost there, you write so well. Hope the trip with your Mom goes well and have a great time with your daughter. LOL, I too, guilty of the chocolates..LOL, my mind says well you are not drinking, so have that cookie. That's why I do these running events, it keeps me in check as far as being disciplined. Ishybit, nice to see you back and glad that you are doing well. I haven't experienced ALOT of outings, where there will be drinking, glad to hear that now you feel comfortable say NO. There was an incident in September, where I was kind of pressured to drink but I didn't and wow it felt great, talk about taking control and the feeling of power with in myself...wahoo. TDN, how long do you have to the Intoxlock? Sausage, how are you? SL, a big hug to you and keeping you in my thoughts. Hi Hippyman : ) Change, thank you so much for you funny words of support....I laughed when I read it...too funny LOL!!!!!
I am doing okay, been sending my resume to places and the good part is at least I am still working, so there no stress in trying to find something. I want to take my time in finding the right place and this time, to find a company that offers benefits. Luckily, the job postings have been offering benefits and better pay, so it won't be long before I find something better for me. Til then, I need to just be there to work and ignore the "cliques". Yipppppppee and yikes at the same time, my half marathon is this SUNDAY....eeeeeeeek...LOL I am nervous and excited at the same time. I can't wait to be at that START line at 7:30am and wow what a EMOTIONAL feeling at the FINISH line. I get REALLY, REALLY, teary eyed. There has been weather reports of rain, yikes, that's okay I have a nice sporty rain coat. The Carlsbad Half Marathon (the one I am running on Sunday) will be one of three runs that I will be doing this year to qualify for the Triple Crown medal. I will be running the La Jolla Half marathon in April and American's Finest Half marathon in August to get that Triple Crown medal, this is one of many things on my BUCKET list.
Do you guys have a bucket list? Care to share with us what is?
Anywho, it's late for me and I have to get myself to bed. You guys are awesome and I am so happy to read all your post, it always puts a loving smile on my face. You are in my prayers and I so appreciate you taking the time to write your thoughts, your honesty, your support and your lives.
I will check back in on Saturday night from the hotel...wow I can't believe this Sunday will be here soon.
Lots of hugs,
Janet
