Cream City Chick Changes


The Cream City Chicks, they are a-changin' it seems. Two of the ladies have told me that don't feel that the Chapter is what they're looking for. Unfortunately, last Wednesday, I was left "holding the proverbial bag" when no one showed up for the meeting. I knew that Sarah wouldn't be coming. I think that she may be staying with the Chapter - I truly hope so. Jill and Danielle are looking for something different that what I have envisioned. So, I have asked them all to think about whether or not they want to continue or not, but that I do have one condition - that being that they tell me what their decision is, sooner rather than later. I guess we'll see what transpires.

I DID IT!!!

Well, I walked the 3 miles yesterday, in the Step Out for Diabetes walk!!! The first 2/3rds of a mile, my leg muscles were not thrilled to be moving, and they let me know that in no uncertain terms. But, I pushed ahead and soon I was moving at a good clip up until the last 1/2 mile or so. I really had to work that stretch and tell myself how good I would feel when I was done. But, I made it! I met a great woman, named Tammy, who taught me how to made Puerto Rican Fried Rice while we were walking! Great fun and a great day!

Well, on Saturday (the 18th) I have a challenge to face! A 3-mile walk for the American Diabetes Association! I feel ready though. My team from work has raised over $400 to date, so that's a good thing. And, the weather looks like it will cooperate - sunny & cool! I'm ready to go!
