Workout Videos On Demand

January 16, 2012

When I was 455 pounds and thinking about starting some sort of workout routine to get healthy, I had lots of excuses: I can't work out because I'm too heavy and will hurt myself I can't be seen in public trying to work out I need someone to tell me what to do I don't want to get bored After months of ...

Video: Workout 8.29.11

08.29.2011

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 …

June 2011 Workout Playlist

06.03.2011

It’s been a couple of months since I really revamped my workout playlist. I am REALLY excited about this one – lots of new stuff that isn’t all mainstream here yet (I listen to a lot of BBC Radio 1), but with awesome beats. And then Glee to end it – because y’all know I’m …

11.5 Miles

03.19.2011

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 …

Can I just say, I’m totally feeling great today. I feel in control and on a great path. Hopefully this optimism and energy continues! I brought my video camera to the gym today to catch some moves with Trainer Rob. Each set was done 3 times with a warmup, cardio (as mentioned at the end of …

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 …

Rest and Ropes

09.19.2010

Last week was hectic with work and outside commitments. As I mentioned, I get over-committed. I like to always have things going on, to feel like I’m helping out, etc. This past week though, it got a little out of hand, and I need to cut back. I mentioned that sleep should be a big priority …

Fat, Fit Girl at the Gym

08.07.2010

Happy Saturday! Today is Biggest Loser day in Louisville, and I really, really appreciate everyone’s comments and discussions from the post I wrote about my situation with it.  I completely understand both sides: those who are supportive of the decision and those who are telling me I’m crazy- I completely get it! In the end though, …
