Why, why, WHY?

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

We have TWO separate storms moving in tomorrow through Sunday! 60% chance of rain/snow on Saturday! NATURALLY it has been in the 60s all week…grr! Maybe I will get lucky and they’ll cancel the race …haha. Just kidding. Well, kind of. I would love not to give up half of my weekend to go to [...]

Decisions

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

After work yesterday, I went to the gym and did 20 min on the elliptical and ran 2 miles on the treadmill.  I wanted to do the whole thing on the elliptical but I was getting bored and darn it all if the lazy/impatient side of me would rather burn more calories in less time, [...]

Lame

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I finally got up the nerve to call my ob/gyn for a prescription for Ativan. I don’t have a primary care doc so I asked the receptionist if either my gyno could call in the prescription OR if they could give me a referral for a primary care doctor. She confirmed prescription location and made [...]

Oh, Tuesday…

I got in my 5k run yesterday - I rocked it in 33 minutes!!!! I had to double check, but sure enough! And here I was feeling slow and yuck because it was chilly out. We made chicken sausage for dinner and then I did Burn Circuit 1. I am definitely getting stronger..still broke a [...]

Single digits

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Today is already shaping up to be quite busy, so this will have to be brief. The weekend was great - too short, as always. We got our hardwood installed on Friday night/Saturday, but since we are re-staining our existing hardwood, it won’t be completely finished until probably 2 weeks from now between us being [...]

Friday Schmiday

Posted by: Fat Pants In: ChaLEAN Extreme

Actually, I am really happy it’s Friday. But I am so sad about Ft. Hood. We just had several thousand units/families from Hood transfer up to Ft. Carson a few months ago, and some units from Carson transfer to Hood. Terrible tragedy!
Anyway, back to weight and dieting and all that jazz. I’m down a lb [...]

Thursday

Posted by: Fat Pants In: ChaLEAN Extreme| Races

Wish it was Friday.
Burn Circuit 2 complete.
Today is 3 mile run plus Burn Circuit 3. It’s a lot, but I just want to get it out of the way.
Tomorrow will be intervals.
Saturday I can finally REST! As much as I can with getting our wood floors in.
The weather? OF COURSE it is supposed to be [...]

OH YEAH

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I got a “you’re wasting away” comment yesterday. One of my coworker’s was commenting on my weight loss and I said, yeah, I’d really like to lose about 20 more pounds. WHAT? You’re already wasting away!
Why do people say that? It’s OBVIOUS I’m still overweight. I’m not like 130 and wanting to lose 20 more [...]

Good things

Posted by: Fat Pants In: ChaLEAN Extreme| Running is my life

Tuesday was fantastic!
I came home and put on my running shoes and went out for a PERFECT 5.2 miles. Took me 60 minutes which is slightly faster than I had planned on, but I’m so happy. I really needed this run with the 10k next weekend. I know I keep saying it, but I can’t [...]

LBD is here

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

Did I mention that over the weekend, I got a notice saying that the red dress I ordered on 10/18/09 would ship on or before DECEMBER 2?? Ugh.
Yesterday I planned on doing some intervals at the gym, and really needed it because work was craptacular, but I forgot my shoes at home. Double bummer. I [...]
