Day 13: Good Days and Bad Days
When I started this challenge, I made a commitment to myself that I would not allow a day to pass without walking a minimum of 5 miles. I did not say that I would only do it on good days. It also wasn’t a goal or a plan.
It was a DECISION to do it through good days and bad days.
For the first time since this all began, I didn’t want to walk today.
I wanted to sit on the couch and eat chocolate.
I wanted to hide in a hot bath and stay there until there wasn’t a drop of hot water left.
Most of all, I wanted to curl up in the corner and suck my thumb.
You know what happened though?
I thought of y’all.
Then, I got off my butt and walked out the door.
When it was all said and done, it was dark, I owed the cuss jar more than a few bucks, and I walked right past the coffee shop without stopping.
Thank you for being a part of my life and for allowing me to be a part of yours.
Above all, thank you for being my friend.

You are a survivor Cricket – and good on ya for sticking to your guns, no matter how much money you owed the cuss jar at the end of the day. Great post – I think a few of us have “been there, done that” – LOL
As Haley says…You ROCK!
Reading this post when awake in the middle of the night, I just gotta cheer you on!!! Good for you!!!
Thank you everyone!
Way to go, gal! =)
Thank you, Pam!
Good for you!! I skipped this morning. Decided it was a gift to myself for the 4th of July. Unfortunately, I will be out there again tomorrow morning busting my butt around 5 am. It’s so stinking hot I just want to lay in bed with the air conditioner on! But, the air conditioner isn’t going to get me back to pre baby weight (the baby is 17)…so off I go! I’ll think of you when I want to jump off and run back to bed. Maybe I should post my weight loss on my blog. I bet it would be a great motivator!
I think any time we feel accountable, it helps us. Have you checked out my new Facebook group?
