so, long story short, it'd been 4 months since my last real workout when i hit the gym again yesterday. not good. but we are back on track and after a successful 60 min/3 mile walk last night, i'm looking for a repeat. i'm really sleepy atm- 4:00 on tues afternoon, but i won't let [...]

I bought this dress years ago, thinking i'd wear it when i felt comfortable in it. well i finally do, but i'm not sure if i'm ready to wear it yet. here are pics. it;s a size 12, which i have not worn in at least 3 years. 🙂

after sleeping on it and waking (at 6 AM!!) with no discomfort or soreness in my ankles at all, i'm thinking i'll keep going with my endurance building interval training. i'm going to start taking Glucosamine soon and s long as i'm careful, i should be fine. Also need to learn and become familiar with [...]

Feeling uneasy about workout plans. I know they are doable. I have got to push myself because as things are I'm getting almost no results. I'm sick n tired of sick n tired. I literally have to treat working out like a job and the paycheck is feeling and looking better. I've embraced this philosophy [...]

tonight i tried something new at the gym. i did an interval program on the treadmill. i lasted 10 min on an program of 3-6mph. i am really split on my opinion on it. on one hand it felt AWESOME! i wanted to keep running and running- but here's the problem: my ankles hurt badly [...]

This falls into a category slightly more personal than i usually share on here, but it's relevant. I've been struggling with my weight off and on since i was 12- it's no new thing. I've successfully lost about 4/5 of my weight twice before, in 03 and 05. i have not however lost it successfully [...]

ok. so i didn't do my dvd today. i did go to the gym though (and ran 4.2 miles in 32 min on the elliptical). Scott and i have a new rule. monday through friday my first priority is to get my dvd done. if i do this and feel like an additional run would [...]

This morning i find myself at war...with myself. part of me is so driven and motivated to shed this fat, and the other is pissed that because of my disease (PCOS) it;s not happening the way i want it to. this comes in two parts. the PCOS causes a messed up metabolism in general, which [...]

ok, so i've found a fire lit under my bum and i'm thrilled with it. i'm getting up at 6 and going for a brisk walk for 60 min, then strength training, then 45 min of cardio (Building to 90 over the next 2 months) on the elliptical in the evening. its intense for me [...]
