About Me

My photo
I am starting a journey that I call "RE" which means that after listing areas that I want to change or improve, I have decided to attack them with gusto to become the Me that I want to be. True to form, I was on fire for the re-newal but started procrastinating around month three and now I have three months before the big 40 arrives. Procrastination in my middle name...or rather, Tina is procrastination's middle name. See? Right there? In the middle? Tina.

REconnaissance: Attack of the Pizza

I should have seen it coming. I should have been prepared. Last night, I was attacked by three pieces of pepperoni pizza last night. I was overtaken quite quickly. Isn't there some sort of a self-defense class against crimes like this? Oh yeah....Weight Watchers meetings. Which leads me to the good news of yesterday. Several people at work have been trying to get Weight Watchers started at our office but they were lacking in enough people. I seriously thought about it, I have done WW before and it was very helpful. I got down to 120 pounds in 2001 and contribute my success to the WW program and meetings. However....money, like my belt, is tight. So I declined to join. Well, yesterday, I was notified that an anonymous gift was made so that I could join the meetings. I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Humbled. Wow. First meeting is next Thursday. The dreaded weigh-in will take place. I will bravely post that weight here. Did I just write that? Yes, I did. Accountability. Knowing that old highschool friends and current friends and family members and my church family will possibly read this....that is enough of a kick in the booty to work towards lowering that number.

My goal: 120 lbs, and, to run in the Boulevard Bolt 5K on my 40th birthday in 2010.
