It runs in the family

Didn't I say I'd be posting less this week? Apparently there are too many exciting things happening that I want a record of! Quick post today because I'm taking a break while there are no members on the circuit. :) I said goodbye to my Mom this afternoon, which

A regular shopping experience

Hot damn, no more plus size stores for this gal!! :) Not only did I fit into the clothes I tried on, but I'm officially a LARGE now. Not even extra large! When did that happen? I even fit into the jeans at Suzy Sheer! I've struggled with losing

Looking in the mirror

I had a moment this morning as I was getting ready. I looked in the mirror and my reflection gave me a start. Who was this confident, happy woman smiling back at me? And what is this definition that I'm starting to see in my face? They must be

Breathing

It's amazing what a kick a$$ 6am workout can do for you! I really gave it my all in class today, even though I was super exhausted. My body quickly reverted back into the bed at 11, up at 7am schedule so my alarm at 5am this morning was

Motivation

I finally feel back on track. It's been a really rough two weeks but pinpointing why yesterday was helpful. All summer I've been used to working 1-8pm so I had no option to snack or eat unhealthy at night. I'd get home and just make my food for the

Go big or go home

I'm publicly announcing my next goal: I will be participating in the half marathon on October 7! Ahh, it seems so much more real now! Just a few months ago it was my plan to take care of my step niece while my sister and her boyfriend ran it...

Making a U-Turn

Weight’s up this week, which although it annoys me doesn’t surprise me. It’s frustrating that I was up even though I worked up a sweat for at least 45 minutes every day last week. It just goes to show that it doesn’t matter how much you exercise, if

Food for Thought

I'm reading a fascinating book right now, called Food and Fuel: Solutions for the Future. It contains chapters from various smart sounding people writing about energy and food scarcity. I won't deny that some of it is above my head and I may have skipped a few chapters to

Warrior 2012!

I meant to post about the Warrior Dash as soon as I got home, but I’ve been so busy this is my first chance to sit down and write. But that means I get to relieve the excitement I felt on the weekend! I DID IT! I did the

What do you mean it's August already?!

I'm amazed at what a month of bootcamp and clean eating/Curves Complete has done for me. I spent a bit of time this morning going back and reading my older posts. It made me feel really good. Especially remembering how difficult that first spin class was for me. I
