The New Me….

I have NOT been doing well with this “diet” in the last 3 months.  I looked in my weight book and saw that on 8/7/09 I hit the 220’s (229.5lbs) for the first time.  I weighed in at 228.5 last Friday.  That’s 1lb in 3 months and a week.  I spent 3 months and 1 [...]

I did day 3 of level 1 on Sunday morning before church.  Each time it gets a little easier (not!) but I do find myself able to do more of the moves without breaks.  I didn’t do the shred today, instead I did Jillian’s Boost Your Metabolism.  It was super hard, but it’s 50 mins [...]

Day 2 went very well. I wasn’t as sore as I expected this morning, so that helped. I’m feeling it a bit now though….
Tonight we are renting movies and ordering pizza instead of going to my friend’s Halloween party because her 4 year old has H1N1. Poor guy can’t trick or treat, but is doing [...]

Well, I bought the 30 day shred DVD. I read a bunch of stuff on the forums and different websites and lots of people think that it works. My goal is to do the video everyday for 30 days, like you’re supposed too. If I miss a day, I won’t freak out [...]

A few days ago, my friend and I tried the 30 Day Shred on her free OnDemand exercise channel.  I thought it was a really great workout.  I’ve heard many people say they are doing it, but have you seen results?  I’m thinking about getting the DVD and trying it sarting Nov. 1st and see [...]

This was a good weekend… I had a great weigh in and hit the 105lb loss mark and I ran in my frist 10k!  On Saturday morning I woke up at 6:30am, took a shower and headed downtown.  It was only about 35 degrees out but no rain! (It rained ALL week)  Laura and I [...]

This week has been rockin’! I ran 5 miles Friday, then took Saturday off to rest and on Sunday, Laura and I ran 6 miles! It was tough, let me tell you, but we did it! Mile 5 was the worst, I think. I start speedwork this week and I think [...]

This morning I am getting ready to go meet Laura for a 5 mile run.  Holy Crap, 5 MILES?!  I remember when I thought training for a 5k would take me until November 2009 and then Patti and I were going to TRY to run the Irish Jig 5k in 2010.  Now I run 5 miles? [...]

It’s Wednessday already and I’m not ready for weigh in on Friday. I have had an OK week. I couldn’t workout Friday or Saturday, I ran on Sunday, I went to the gym Monday, ran on Tuesday and did some weights, and today I went to the gym again. My food is [...]

I went to my friend Laura’s house on Sunday morning so we could run on the trail in her neighborhood. It’s a beautiful trail! We were going to run 4 miles and then walk back to her house which was another 1.5 miles. We started at a good pace and just chatted [...]
