American in Norway

As y'all know, I'm not one to BRAG.. about myself... BUTTTT.... (here I go) A month ago.. I made a pact with another lady on the other side of Norway.. to get into shape.. the right way... - I hate doing things the right way... I like doing them MY way... - & yes, we can all see how well THAT has been working for me. ahem. I am the QUEEN of dropping 15-20 lbs a month.. right before a big trip.. or party.. or whatever.. Only to gain 16-21 after the said event.. After a very inspirational meeting with the head of ORIFLAME's European WELLNESS department. We decided to get fit.. the right way.. I will make a long story short(er) I have been doing the Wellness program.. eating healthy.. exercising. & it is working... I USED to think doing 3 km was a work out.. I was proud of myself for getting off of the couch.. (first step) But today.. I managed my SECOND 10KM this WEEK.. Yea me!.  I am jogging/powerwalking the past 7 da...

Where have I been all week?  Turning over a new leaf.  No, for real this time...    I have started 2012 with a bang. THIS will be the year I get FIT.... notice, I am not saying, finally squeeze myself into some size 6?  Ya, cause THATS never going to happen... but then again...who knows. This year started with the usual PANIC... HOLY Sh!T... what have I done to myself?   Did I really eat the entire (fill in the blank)? yes, yes I did... hide the evidence, as if that might help. HA... I have 2 weeks   5 days until a black tie affair.. will I fit into my dress?  SIGH... To be honest, this is the story of my life... before every event... just stop eating for a week or two... get into the dress...(feel miserable) - start eating again... repeat.. over & over & over. As I was getting ready go out for my New Years walk... to start the year on the right foot... My son asked to go with me... :-)   Ahh... yes, that would be ...
