KC: Hi, Pricilla! Over the years, I keep checking in and wishing you well. But, today's blog about being 'normal' stopped me in my tracks. Obesity is not normal!! Just because so many suffer, does not make it 'normal'. Over half the English population died of the Plague in the 1300's - did that make those deaths 'normal'. Please do not justify illness - especially that which is preventable. Keep watching Biggest Loser - not for the ratings but to see just how much effort is put in by skinny pe
Elma: I have slipped a bit lately too so I know where your coming from.I'm going to follow your lead and get started seriously working on losinfg the fat.(by the way,I was all set to walk with you in St Augustine the other day.What happened to that?I was disappointed.)
Priscilla: Weight for today...356 even. Worked out at the gym, so far - so good on my eating and feeling very fabulous.Come on along, the fitness is feeling fine!Priscilla :)
Priscilla: OMG...sorry to be a cry baby and I know I have NO ONE to blame but me, but my face and my body have gotten so much fatter in the last three months!!! WHY did I stop getting on the scale and let this happen!? Now I am going to be forced to kick my own butt into gear and save myself! Yikes...the videos are horrible...you are warned!
Priscilla: Not only did I survive at the BIG gym, I loved it! I'll tell you all about it tomorrow and upload two little movies I made of myself, before and after, in the car. They will be good for a wee laugh! Have a brilliant Sunday! :)
Priscilla: Confession is good for the soul and the scale. I'm FINALLY doing something about my body again, facing the truth and want you to stick around to see this through. Priscilla :)

stella: how right you are prsicilla about the undergarment thing. being a bra fitter i know first hand how many women out there are holding on to those nasty bras and panties. a bra only is made to last 6 months if you have a few it would be longer but come on girls do something for yourself get the fit. when your body is changing into new sizes that means bras and panties to. not only will it make your appeance 100% better it will make you feel sexy. and we all love that!!!! i remember your face pricsi

When you think of the fact that 3 tiny kit kats equal 200 calories, and of ALL the candy they already receive, well....I dont care to contribute to their calories OR their cavi

7:53 PM

We walked, we shivered, we smiled

What a perfect day after a wild and crazy night.  The walk was BRILLIANT and I could have easily kept right on walking, south towards warmer weather of course, but we ended up only doing about an hour.

A few of us opted to go out for breakfast afterwards where we could get in out of the cold and have a good chat, over food, about what a delicious problem food can be.  It was really a good time and even though way too many people in this world are too CAMERA SHY...a splendid time really was had by all.  A huge thanks to those brave souls who weathered the weather and helped kick off www.WalkOffObesity.com  <<<  new pictures posted there!

On January 1, 2009 in Key West, at the historic marker at the southern most point in the US of A, we will be doing another one of these.  It will be a LOT warmer then the chilly temps of today and you are all invited to come along and get moving towards better health.

Now about that crazy night before our big day.  Morton was at work, nightshift at the moment and I was in bed by 11 pm.  At 1 am I was woke up with water splashing in my face and the lower half of my bed drenched.  My lovely neighbor upstairs was having a bath and overflowing her tub on my bedroom ceiling. 

Niagra Falls continued for over an hour leaving the walls soaking wet, the bed ruined and the bathroom ceiling almost falling down.  Lucky Morton to be at work!  This is the fifth time this has happened in the last few months and needless to say I didn't get much sleep.

This morning when I headed out my door at 7:30 am I decided to leave my troubles in the apartment.  Soggy carpet, ruined bedding (full of nasty black mouldy water now) and only three hours of sleep were all just a distant memory as I got in the car and drove the 12 miles to City Island.

The nightmare from the night before faded away as I saw smiling faces, people out taking their health in their own hands and my mood changed completely with the thrill of a brilliant walk.

With many miles in front of me and a neighbor who doesn't realize that letting your bathtub overflow for an hour isn't a good thing I need to keep things in perspective.  I'm not going to let the little things worry or bother me, they will all work out.  Life is beautiful like that.

Keep walking, keep making those little changes and take two minutes right now to email me & your best friend about what is happening on your road to fitness!  Your words of motivation will help more than you know.

Priscilla
