I ran!

Picture it, November 2010, the day before Thanksgiving. While others were trying on their eating pants and doing jaw exercises to maximize chewing, I was making a list of life changes that would start immediately. I decided to give up meat and booze, hit the gym 4 times a week, and go back to yoga. So far things have been great. Two weeks ago I ran 2 miles in one session for the first time since I was 16. Granted I wasn’t able to use the stairs or go without using a walker for a few days, but I did it. Going to yoga (with the magnificent Ronni Mott leading the class) helped with the pain. I swear I was two inches taller and breathing deeper after that class. I’ve kept up with my previous promises, I take a little time each day to read a few pages, splurged on delicious new hair products, danced with my house mate last night to Wham’s “Last Christmas” (my fave song in the world!), and got all A’s in both Psychology and Sociology including 100% on all term papers. This road to wellness has proven to be a fantastic journey, let’s just hope I don’t run out of gas before the next stop.
