The Froo-Froo Bits:

This was a good day. I didn't want to walk, but I did it anyway. Go me. See, I hate exercise. Why? Because it freaking hurts, that's why. Whenever I walk, do yoga, do anything, I get this weird burning tingle in my hips. If I keep going, it travels down my legs and sits on my feet. It doesn't stop until I do. It hurts. Unfortunately, I have to keep going, because even though I've made a ton of monumental changes to my diet, we all know that just changing one's diet isn't enough. In order to lose this weight and get healthy, I've got to move. So, I'm moving. I hate ever step of it, but I'm doing it.

I'm starting to think that's what its about. Yeah, it sucks, but I'm doing it anyway. Mostly because there's a whole lot of world out there, and I'm going to have to be mobile in order to see it. Also, I'm bound, set & determined not to end up like my mom. She died at 60, with bad knees, bad hips and a bad heart. The heart was what got her, but the knees & hips didn't help.

I'm not going there. I'm just not going to be like that.

So, I move. It hurts. I keep going.
