this is a few weeks old, but nothing has really changed, so here it is.starting at size 14/16 200 lbs.

whenever i start a new workout program- and yesterday was a new start for all intents and purposes- the second day is hell. today was no exception. i got up at 6 am, had my coffee and yogurt, and at 6:45 i started my Biggest Loser workout. i was really lightheaded the whole time, so [...]

i did the Biggest loser DVD at 10 like i planned. took me about 10 min longer than it shoulda but i finished. i didn't do amazing, but i did it and that counts. then i almost immediately laced up my sneakers and went for a walk0 this walk stated incredibly- every time it told [...]

I knew at 10:00 last night that today wouldn't start well. i had just turned down the blankets on the bed and started to put on my jammies when my wonderful and adorable brother in law showed up at the front door (long story about why he was unexpected) to hang out. I LOVE Mike, [...]

so, we went to the park to walk/jog trails last night. aside from a couple blisters and sore ankles, it went well! we improved on the pace from our previous walks by a full minute, and did 3.14 miles in 1 hour 7 minutes. i ran a couple little sprints, which was a little bit [...]

This story is kinda like the 3 bears- but.. with 4. :-)for the past four years i have owned 3 pairs of sneakers.1: Too Old. The first pair is these Avia cross trainers. They were great and i loved them, but i bought them in 02 because they were $20 at Costco and now they [...]

Which is to say, I have begun INSANITY. Scott has joined me. If you aren't familiar with the Insanity program, i suggest you google it. it's well named! High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to the MAXIMUM. have you ever seen a workout video where the people doing the workout take 2-3 breaks each throughout the [...]

this past thursday, i finally got back to working out hard after a long long illness. i started with my Biggest Loser last chance workout DVD. i did the upper body workout, which was tough. i then almost immediately moved on to an outdoor cardio workout. i walked all the stairs in our apartment complex.
