So close, yet so far...

I was a maybe.

That's right, I found out that my name was in the maybe pile for the show. Urg. As tempted as I am to send a video to see if I can get on there, I think I will just stay home and do it myself. I think God wants it that way. If I do it on the show, the show will get the glory. If I do it here, God will get the glory. Plus, there is a lot to be said about the perservering, character building moments I know God has in store for me by doing it with His help rather than Bob or Jillian's.

5k is three weeks away. Yikes. I am ready, but I wish I was more ready. Is that possible? i think I just need to pull a Nike and "Just do it".

Food is getting the best of me the last couple of days, but I am still staying active. I am not back in my old 3500 calorie days, but I know I am going over 1800. Gotta get back on track, and there is no time better than right now.

Walking is sucking worse and worse. Starting off is always rough. After the first mile, it eases up, but that first mile is AWFUL. I am finding myself constantly having to mentally prepare for that first mile. Hopefully this is just a phase and will pass soon.

I have a new favorite facebook app called "I Just Walked" It keeps tabs of my walks and rubs it in everyone's face that I did it. Well, I make it sound bad, basically it just posts on your wall info about your walk.

I am very ipod dependant, too. It is borderline unhealthy. I was actually considering not walking this morning when I saw how much battery life my ipod had. It lived through the walk, and is charging now. There is nothing that will kill exercise more than having to listen to yourself breath for 45 minutes.

Well, time for some reading then off to bed. Be looking for my latest walk news on facebook, and I'll see you later!
