So here is the deal – I consider myself “well fed” but others don’t really agree with me – especially Husband as he points 'lovingly' at my multiple love handles.
(the whole idea of "there is more of you to love when you are 15 lbs heavier - not really his style)
Like every year this New Year started with the same resolution as always – lose weight!!! Considering that I am allergic to the gym and dieting and absolutely in love with food (carbs, chocolates, anything unhealthy) – it has been one of those resolutions that always fails. This time – the TNT pamphlet sitting on the table (as I bonded with Coco - check previous blog) seemed just the answer I was looking for. Running a marathon would definitely help me shed some pounds and with that thought in mind – I headed for their info session.
That was an eye opener – and suddenly losing weight was no longer the reason to pursue this – meeting with families that have lost someone to Leukimia or lymphoma... or kids who are going through chemotherapy or people who have fought the battle and are in remission was over whelming to say the least. I was struck by the positive attitude, and strength of so many individuals and the volunteers for the TNT who so genuinely were dedicated to the cause of raising awareness and funds for research for these diseases. I wanted to be a part of this cause … I needed to be a part of this… – and so there I was .. registering for the event, getting T shirts and of course all the while thinking – how in the world will I ever be able to run a marathon!!!
