What's New ~~~~~
Yes, I actually have some news!! I got a call today from my consultant at Jenny Craig. It seems that "First" magazine is looking for someone to do an article about and she recommended me!! They are going to do a story about weight loss and Jenny Craig success stories, so she thought of me and asked if it was something I would be interested in. Why not??? It sounds like fun. Now,mind you,going back to find some "before" pictures may not be a party,but it will be cool to see the comparison. I thinking some "after" photos on the Harley would be cool! SO that is my biggest news.
The second biggest is that I did 4 miles on the treadmill today in 60 minutes! That is well under the 18-minute-mile I have to do to stay in the field for the Mini-marathon. A BIG milestone for me. Especially since I have missed 3 days of workout due to having a tooth extracted on Friday.Sick from pain meds etc.... But all better now and back on track.And even more motivated now because of the magazine story. I'm thinking face lift,spray tan,fake eyelashes....the works!! Just kidding..I'm proud of myself just the way I am.That is the first time in a long time I can say that and mean it! I really think this resolution is going to stick this time!
Anyway, that's my big day. Can't wait to hear from the magazine people. My 15 minutes!!
Later!

Here it is!
OK, so I figure since I have no life to speak of, I might as well share it! Surely, someone out there has a little going on in their life as I do.
So here is my life as it stands so far in a nutshell:
I'm just a few weeks away from my 49th birthday. No, I'm not ashamed to say that. Because I still have my looks! HA! Actually, after the way I spent the late 70's and early 80's , I'm darn lucky to HAVE a 49th birthday ! It could have ended SO much sooner in SO many ugly ways.But it was FUN!!!
I have been married for 19 years and we weren't fortunate enough to have kids. Or maybe kids were fortunate enough NOT to have us! For whatever reason, it didn't work out. So instead of raising kids , we are buying toys and riding Harleys!
Yes, I am a biker babe! I have a 2008 Harley Davidson Rocker C. I got it last summer and am just getting comfortable on it. It is SO much fun. My husband and I took a 4000 mile trip out West last summer on his Street Glide and, I guess you could say I got tired of riding b**ch! So I got my own in August.After taking the ABATE riding course, which I highly recommend if you even have to slightest notion you might like to ride, I fell in love with the Rocker and just ran across one at the Harley shop near our town one afternoon. What a blast!!!! Some day I'll post some pictures of it. It's pretty awesome!!
I am also a nurse~~~~ have been for over 27 years. I work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in a brand new hospital. It is my passion and the one thing I KNOW I do well. I go home every day knowing I made a difference in a baby's life. How great is that!!
I don't have a lot going on in my life right now, but , believe me, as soon as I get a life, I will let you know!!!
Next on my agenda of things to do before I die is the Mini-Marathon in Indianapolis. It is May 2nd,2009 and is a 13.1 mile half marathon . I am training now and hope to be up to speed by then.It is quite an adventure for someone who didn't exercise. Talk about a New Year's resolution!!! This one is sticking!! I have been dieting for over 8 months and have lost nearly 23 pounds and 15 inches, so this is the next step. I can't WAIT to cross the finish line!!!
Anyway, I'm sure that is about all any of you can take for now. I'm exhausted just reading about my life!!!
