Video: Workout 8.29.11

August 29, 2011

Happy happy happy! Orthopedist gave me the all-clear to get rid of the boot, so no more clunking around for me! Woot! Today is a new day 1. As I mentioned last night, I have just been in a funk, somewhere stuck in-between full on motivation and oh-my-gosh-I-can't-do-this. It's okay to inhabit the in-between space for ...

It’s Like Riding a Bike

06.10.2011

This week has been draining, so I took a vacation day today to re-adjust my sleep and decompress. It’s my own fault- I put lots of extra projects on my plate and they all seem to hit at once. I’m trying to get better with prioritizing. Since I didn’t have to go to work today, I …

Phew. After last weeks 8.4 mile disaster, I knew I needed to figure something out for this week. Cue even DIFFERENT orthotic insoles (different size than what the podiatrist gave me), moleskin, compression socks and company. The always-lovely Amber headed out with me early this morning to try to tackle 11 miles, even though she only …

Last Chance Workout

10.09.2010

Today I had a session with Trainer Rob. Since I haven’t been on the scale in nearly a month (a daily exercise in personal restraint) and I’m up for weighing in on Monday, Rob joked it was my “Last Chance Workout” ala The Biggest Loser. I actually brought my Flip Video camera so he could …

Fat Girl Goes Spinning

10.02.2010

Yep, you read the title right- this fat (but fit) girl went spinning today. Taking a spin class has been on my 101 in 1001 list, and I’ve really wanted to mark it off. So this morning, I went to my first spin class. I have to admit, I was scared. I have heard about how …
