OMG!!! I just found this thread! I can't believe I have never seen this thread before.
One of the best things to come out of my WAW's A is my GAL strategy.
I ran my first half-marathon last October (3 months after D-day). At the time it was not consciously to GAL (I had begun training prior to D-day), but running has since become a passion. I use it to clear my head and as an excuse to get out of the house when I feel tense. Even better, my S10 is a bit chubby, so I run with him. It has brought us closer and is such valuable together time. I lost 15 lb, I feel great, I look wiry (!) and my muscles are starting to peek out from under the flab. I have contacted a personal trainer. I would like to be a fly on the wall when my W realizes how nuts she was to walk away.
As far as music goes - I'm not down, by the Clash, is one of my many anthems. Instant pick me up. Train In Vain, also by the Clash, is a close second. read the lyrics and you'll know why.
It is nice to post something that is about me, but not as related to my sitch. Again I can't believe I found this thread. I just wanted to share.
