Back to normal

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

I’m feeling a lot less sore today - yesterday was ROUGH! I was worried I was beginning to develop Runner’s Knee as I had some serious pain at the bottom of my patella, but I ran 3 miles at the gym anyway (I never claimed to be smart) and today it feels fine - no [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Week 1 *almost* complete

Posted by: Fat Pants In: ChaLEAN Extreme| Fashion

Last night I did Burn Circuit 3 and today will be a 5 mile run because the chances of me going to the gym over the weekend are slim to none. I’ll bust it out after work today and start my weekend off right. I’ll post my first week results on Monday since technically it [...]

Thursday

Posted by: Fat Pants In: 30 Day Challenge| Fashion| Running is my life

Goodness! This week has felt painfully long, but I woke up today thinking “It’s already Thursday?! It’s already Thursday!!”
Major, MAJOR victories yesterday. I decided to make use of the trail by my work. Why not? It’s long, no cars, and I can get my run in during the lunch hour.
I ran for 5.5 miles yesterday!!

It [...]

Snow!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion| Weigh in

That’s right. I woke up to a nice ground covering of snow this morning, and some major fog. This is just a preview of this weekend, which means the race tomorrow will be SUPER FUN. The run begins at 8:30 and it looks like it will be a balmy 26 degrees and snowing. I am [...]

Knock, knock, knockin’ on 150’s door…

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

Actually I’m already in the door. 159.8 this morning! Tomorrow is official weigh in, so I will be extra good today (especially since it’s taper week so no exercise today or tomorrow).
Day 22 review

Eating: yeah, despite being at Red Lobster! I had grilled shrimp and steamed broccoli, no booze/Dr. Pepper and stayed away from those [...]

(I use a lot of self deprecating humor in real life so please don’t think I truly feel this way about myself).
Yesterday at lunch, my coworker wanted to go to David’s Bridal to look at dresses… she has to attend a wedding in November and wanted a new dress for the holiday parties so since [...]

Married, white female in search of perfect dress…

Day 14 Review (this is getting boring)

Exercise: 30 min at the gym… that’s all I had time for!
Eating: Yeah! Bowl of french onion soup, NO SODA (go Fat Pants, go Fat Pants!) This also counts as a meatless meal for the week.
Stretching/PT: No…oops!

I had so much fun catching up with my gf last night. After [...]

doing nothing and it feels so goooood

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

I have absolutely NOTHING planned for today. It feels awesome.
I can shop at Express again. Oh, the joy (and the pain on my bank account):

Hello, normal sized clothing. It never gets old meeting you.
