I'm going to walk two miles on Saturday, 9/25. I can't even remember the last time I walked that far - without stopping 6 times in between. I've jogged a mile, but haven't walked or jogged more than that. Pathetic. Still, I know that my body CAN do that now, so I'm not worried. In fact, I'm kind of excited about it!
I'm walking as part of Melting Mama's Bariatric Bad Girls team, in Lowell, MA. I'm meeting a lot of gals in the community for the first time, which is kind of awesome. I've been involved in the WLS community for almost 3 years now, and have yet to meet lots of people IN MY AREA. It's funny, because I've been "online friends" with Beth for a while now, and I'm all nervous-like to meet her in person. What if she doesn't like me? What if she thinks I'm a total dork? Heh, I'm sure she'll have a comment for me below. lol
I set a $300 fundraising goal for myself. Right now, I've raised $75, so I've got a ways to go. Heck, I know a LOT of people online, and even if everyone just donated ONE DOLLAR, we could raise some serious cash to fight obesity! The money gets collected directly through the Walk From Obesity page, and it's a secure donation form. Please think about making a donation, I'd really appreciate it!
Also, if you'd like to really a really pretentious and snooty press release, check us out HERE ON PRWEB!
If you're in the Lowell area, why not come out and walk with us? Should be a rockin' good time. Thanks so much for your support, and let's hope I don't embarass myself and poop-out after mile ONE. :)
You can DO IIIITT!

Taunia,
You will do fine! My support group will be there also, Randall's Ranger's BUT I wont be able to make it this year, I'll be in Niagara Falls.
Good Luck, this is where I met Beth for the first time also. She's a cute little thing, you are gonna want to just pick her up and put her in your pocket :)
Barbara
