I lost two lbs this week! I have never lost two pounds in one week before… I’m a little shocked! I guess this consistent exercise business knows what it’s talking about….
I got to the gym for 40 minutes yesterday, and set a training appt for this afternoon. I am SURE I will swear and tell Robert [...]
I have decided that I can do this, and that I want this. I enjoy being pushed to my limits, having someone expect me to do things, and not letting me get away with half-assing it. Maybe this is what I needed all along… maybe I just needed someone to expect something great out of [...]
A few years ago I got a Polar F4 HRM for my birthday (it was my 25th birthday, I believe). I have loved every minute of using it, except for one thing: when the battery goes, I may as well buy a new one. You see, they only have four “service centers” in the U.S. [...]
I started my sessions with my new trainer on Friday, with the goal to run the Komen 5k in September and likewise, hike a 14′er sometime this summer. Robert (my trainer) started me out on the treadmill to warm up at an incline of 10 at 3.6 mph. 3.6 mph is practically running for someone [...]
Today is my first training appointment with my new trainer. I am not looking forward to it, just from the sheer standpoint that I am afraid I won’t be able to do what he instructs me to do. The past two weeks, my motivation has dwindled. It started with traveling to Texas for the funeral, [...]
Yesterday, the trainer I had briefly discussed the Komen 5k with cornered me again about signing up for training sessions. He gave me 8 sessions for $150 (that’s just over $18 a session for you math dorks) and I could not resist, especially after he talked about how he has seen me at the gym [...]
As I sit trying to digest my lunch and a slew of vitamins with it, I keep asking myself what will be different about this year verses the past two years that I have “sworn” that they would be my last year as a fat person. I don’t feel some sense of huge motivation like [...]
In my half-awake stupor, I ran off and left my breakfast and lunch sitting on the counter this morning. Fortunately I was able to scrounge up some oatmeal at work, but it’s only 160 calories and I know that will last me until about, oh, 8:00. guess it will be lots of tea and water [...]
Wow, so much has happened since I last updated in…. November? Eek!
I took and passed my comprehensive exams and my oral defense, and graduated with my Masters degree on Dec. 19th.
My granddad passed away
Plus all the holidays and family gatherings and friend-seeing… where did December go? I seemed to have misplaced my sense of [...]
