"Put on your big girl panties and deal with it"

That sign is hanging in the office I share with Terri. She is a feisty woman that I have grown to respect for her wisdom, but also her sense of humor. And she is right, sometimes you just need to put on your big girl panties and deal with it. And that is precisely what I have done, figuratively and literally. As I mentioned in a previous post, I needed some guidance with a decision and I think it is finally made. So tonight, I went to Target got myself some big fat briefs, just in case this girl has a hard time dealing with it. I'm not going to post what decision I have made, nor what my dilemma was so I hope the two or three out there that know will keep it to themselves. At some point I am sure I will delve into it, but not right now.

Work is going well. I've been very busy and I have learned to dread Thursday. They aren't horrible days, but it is nothing but meetings and my butt hurts! I have been very conscientious about going to the gym because I am doing so much sitting and I am snacking more than I used to at work.

Kristen, her mom, my mom and me (does that make sense?) have embarked on a "Miles to China" adventure. We are documenting the number of miles we are walking, cycling, ellipticalling, rowing...well, you get the point...that takes us to China. Our goal is to have a combined number of miles that match the distance. It is 6,787 miles from here to Beijing and 6,515 miles from Janesville to Beijing. So far I have racked up 17.5 miles since the beginning of the month. Whoo-hoo! I'm sure my mom will kick my a** though because she walks 3 miles/day 6days/week. She is a machine.

We need to find an easy way to communicate this! So far, as of right now, our total is 36 miles, counting what you sent me and what my parents and I have walked. I've been walking at work - 8 laps around my school is one mile. At least it's warm and free!
