Recap: My first 5K

07.18.2010

Yesterday, I finished my first 5K. Woot! I didn’t finish it alone, either. I had a wonderfully supportive group of friends who were there to push me, and who finished with me. I was really overwhelmed with emotion yesterday (and still am today, but have turned the waterworks off), and made a video to thank them all: [...]

Mind versus Body

07.03.2010

This morning, Trainer Rob tried to kill me. He tried to make me cry. Okay, so I’m being melodramatic. He wasn’t trying to kill me, or make me cry. But I felt like I was on the verge of both. He was pushing me. He sees that picture I posted yesterday every time I work [...]

Yep, I Really Am This Big

06.16.2010

My workout today: I’m all about keeping it real these days. There are so many posts I can write about what I feel after watching this video. Will write them down for another day. With regards to the post I reference towards the end of the video, that is coming up shortly (later tonight), so [...]

Scale Boycott

06.15.2010

After yesterday’s disaster on the scale, I made up my mind to boycott it for a couple of weeks. Trainer Rob looked at my food journal and it seems to be in order. “Aunt Flo” isn’t in town, so it’s not that. When I got home from work, I noticed that my legs and feet [...]

The Ugly Doubt Monster

06.12.2010

Today I had my second session with Trainer Rob. I’ve been whining all week that my workouts have been slow going. I think I can shut my mouth now. Rob introduced me to a medium interval training day. Not super hard, but I have to *think* about how fast I can get my heart rate [...]

Do a 5K with Me?

06.11.2010

I may not be pining to be on The Biggest Loser anymore, but that doesn’t make my girl crush on season 8′s Shay go away. Imagine my excitement when I saw she was going to be at the Bluegrass State Games here participating in the 5K. (Oh yeah, Jared the Subway guy will be there [...]

Slow but Steady

06.10.2010

Gym day #3 today. #4 for the week will be with Trainer Rob on Saturday morning. I lucked out today and hopped on the treadmill right as Jeopardy was starting. And it was an episode that made me feel smart! So rare! That kept me entertained during my sloooow walk. Seriously slow. Yes, that’s a [...]

Let ME do ME!

06.08.2010

Seriously guys? The notes from my post last night still have me choked. And jazzed. I was really tired today for some reason. No exercise yesterday, so planned on going to the gym today for sure. Was tempted to stay home and cuddle with my not-so-little-dog and go to sleep early. But then she started [...]
