Yesterday was my first really big challenge to my commitment. I could have very easily said “can’t do it. Life, the universe and everything is working against me and there is no way I’m going to make the gym and evening workout tonite. It’s ok cause I workout every other day…” and then the excuses [...]

The end of today will see the completion of my 10th day of boot camp (incase you couldn’t give that out from the post title!) I haven’t stuck with anything this long… uh… ever. I’m feeling pretty awesome right now despite a crappy day yesterday.
I’m trying to get my blogging in first thing in the [...]

Details of today’s run can be found HERE.
Go read about my run - I did AWESOME! After my 5 miles on Sunday, today was a breeze!! That 30 minute DVD afterwards is TORTURE though (well, it IS Jillian Michaels, so that’s redundant, isn’t it!) I tell you, by the time I’m in the shower I [...]

You know, I think this is the longest I have stuck with a specific program like this! Usually I spend a lot of time designing and organizing a program (cause I love that part!) and then IF I start it at all (so often I never do) I only follow it for a few days [...]

The mis-adventures of today’s run can be found HERE.
Today’s run was SUPPOSED to be 4 miles. I say supposed to because I got lost and ended up running 5!
Am I upset about that? Hell no! I ran 5 freakin’ miles this morning and I feel GREAT!! I mean, REALLY GREAT!! I had begun to think [...]

I’m already back from my run this morning. Stats, etc… can be found HERE.
Today is my “off” day. In other words, other than the run, I have no more exercise. It’s the closest thing I’ve got to a rest day in Boot Camp. My long run day is Sunday, and you’d think I’d make that [...]

Just a quick check in before I have to get kids up and going. Today’s Skye’s first full day of Kindergarten. Sean has a dental appointment, so he’ll be missing school (he’s getting a filling, I think the novacaine will probably be more than he can deal with.)
This morning started with a backed up toilet. [...]

I’ve steeled my resolve to see this through. Yesterday’s events were the last straw. This is it.
I started today with my 3 mile run. You can read more about that HERE (I seem to have a superhero theme today.) Then did my 30 minute Biggest Winner DVD and didn’t die. Miracle. At which point, my [...]

(Totally me btw! Yeah, riiiiiiight!)
Yesterday ended on a positive note. I had some grilled chicken breast that I cut up and dipped in barbeque sauce. I also took an Advil PM because I haven’t been sleeping well. Boom! Lights out and I was dead to the world until about 10 minutes before my alarm went [...]

I ran this morning!! Yay! 3 miles SOLID (no walk breaks needed!) I blogged about it in more detail HERE.
So I forgot to mention. Did I have any Coke Zero yesterday? Why no I did not. Did I miss it. NO! I KNOW! Shut up, right?! I am totally shocked too! A total addict like [...]
