This morning’s walk was sponsored by bottles today: 1 Mad Dog 2020, 1 Miller Lite, and of course, 1 Bud Light.

I’ll probably never be able to look at Bud Light again without thinking of the lads.

The total distance of today’s walk was 3 miles. I ran for almost a 1/2 mile during the first part of my walk and then I ran for about a quarter mile on the last part of my walk. I hate running, but it makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something.

Besides, I had a big FAT dose of reality last night.

I was looking for pics from the conference in Reno so I could post them today. Well, I found them. And I didn’t recognize the chick staring back at me!

I tried to tell Grant this past weekend how big I was last year but he didn’t believe me. Unfortunately, I now have the pictures to prove it. And that lit a fire under my feet. I’ve lost almost 25 lbs now, but that picture of me from last year is probably 15 lbs heavier than my “before” picture I took in January.

How does that happen? I was an athlete once, dammit. I played basketball, ran track, and played softball. For YEARS. Soccer wasn’t big in my area at the time, if it had been, I would’ve played that, too.

I’m sorry to say, I will be posting very few pictures of last year’s conference. Maybe I will after the fact so we can have a comparison…but probably not.
