Weigh in #14

I really want to run today (I did run after this post). This damn rain is upsetting me. I’m up early on my day off to get out there and move. Instead I’m having to wait for the gym to open up (one hour to go) so that I can at least get a good […]

I wonder why…

…Some days are harder to get through than others.

…I still see a 263 pound person in the mirror.

…I was so mad at myself for sleeping in until 7 this morning, after working 15 hours yesterday.

…I don’t ease up on myself.

… I don’t pat myself on the back more.

…I set myself […]

The official graduation / Superman / and blah blah blah.

It’s official.

I can now buy this beautiful shirt. I’ve worked nine long weeks to be able to say I can wear this shirt and know it to be true. I woke up early this morning with that “runner’s anticipation” in my stomach. That nervousness in the pit of your stomach that starts […]

So much to say…so little blog time.

I wanted to come here today and talk about my date with Superman.

I wanted to come here today and talk about how tomorrow is going to possibly be my official graduation from c25k.

I wanted to come here today and talk about resting heart rate (mine is 60) and blood pressures (112/70). I wanted […]

Two 30 minute runs: A comparison.

As most of you know I am finishing up my c25k program this week. I have one more session…

One more.

Then I’m on my own to figure out where I want to take this whole running thing. I’m a little nervous that once the program is over I’ll lose […]

Weigh in #13 (or what I like to call “Just when you think you didn’t”)

Up bright and early today.

So much to do.

So few hours to do them.

Walk the dogs Run the first day day of c25k week 9 (30 minutes) Get to gym for first training Work out (this is yet decided) Head down south to Chehalis to help my husband cater a wedding

Oh yes […]

Meet my newest friends: Deltoid and Gastrocnemius

In case your as inept at the anatomy of the human body as I am, here is where I give you a little picture post about what I’m talking about.

These little beauties are you Deltoids. Today they have made themselves known to me. It’s from the swimming I did yesterday (30 laps). I […]

Whoa there 28! and a new gym member in town.

Is it a coincidence that as I’m coming up on the -30 pound mark, I’m also coming up to the 30 minute running mark on c25k?

No improvement on speed during this last run. In fact, I’m pretty sure I was going slower but I blame that on the elements (wind, […]

Weigh in #12…

It’s been a great week. Not just physically but emotionally. I signed up for my first 5k, I’m coming to an end in c25k (2 weeks left), I had a eye opening therapy session, I found some new muscles, two of my friends are moving more, my husband is losing weight. I’ve been conscious about […]

Things I love…

Okay so my last post was kind of a downer…

It happens. Life goes up and Life goes down.

I’d like to balance the down with a much deserved up.

Here are some things that I love.

My husband

Seriously, who couldn’t love that face? We’ve been together 8 years […]
