it was 95 degrees today, and i decided to take my car in for routine maintenance (since i decided to keep it) and walk home from the dealer. it's only 2 miles (exactly) each way. jeans+95 degrees= workout. then, three hours later, i decided to walk back to pick up my car.

it occurred to me that i would not have been physically able to do this 2 years ago. maybe not even one year ago. it really is a bit miraculous. stupid... but miraculous.

I know what you mean. A couple of years ago it hurt me to walk so much I had to stop and rest every block or two. They thought I had Peripheral Artery Disease I was in so much pain in my legs and butt just from taking a few steps. Turns out I was just fat and extremely out of shape and my legs had just lost all their strength. Then I had to start walking to get stronger. Just small walks and that was enough to give me shin splints. The irony is that I had to go to a runner's website to see how to treat them! But eventually I got where I could walk again. But before Medifast, I was still catching a bus instead of walking 2 blocks. And now I can easily walk three miles. It really is miraculous. Sorry for writing so much but I could really relate.

You are such a trooper and have come a long way, girl! Your determination has seen you through thus far, it will see you the rest of the way as well. Hang in there--hopefully your metabolism will rev up soon. :)

Glad you checked in! <img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_1_137.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D10%252F10_1_137/image.gif">

i was reading the "clavicle porn" discussion in sojo's journal, and i was thinking about mine. i'm not sure all clavicle's are hot. mine are a little, uh, prominent... and my ribs make my upper chest "ripply." i have muscle, but i just feel... yuck.

oh, and when something/someone thumps these things on accident, it hurts!

I think those would qualify as hot. We will have to check with the final authority on such matters, Sojo, who was a clavicle in a past life.

Those are pretty awesome, but I defer to Sojo with her Clavicle Mojo knowledge.......
