Strength in the morning

October 21, 2011

Today I woke up again. Six am. A little bit later but I had to leave a little later so I gave myself that extra 40 minutes. I slipped on my gym clothes, put in my contacts and headed over to the complex gym. This mornings workout: 5 sets of each 10 pushups 10 situps [...]

Getting back up

October 13, 2011

The hubs is having a grand ole time at Basic. Which is awesome – I’m so proud of him and excited for him – he has a spark that I haven’t seen in a really long time. He called last night to give me his address – it was a much needed, albeit very brief, [...]

October Goals

October 10, 2011

So to recap September: I did: *keep a food journal *stop drinking soda (sans Italian soda from Trader Joes… I love that stuff) *not shop for ~28 days Where I went wrong: I blogged a total of 9 times out of the 15 I had hoped for. I (only) ran once? maybe? And I cross [...]

Challenging

September 25, 2011

Things have been challenging lately. Rather than waking up to workout, I’ve been enjoy morning laughs and cuddles with the husband before he leaves in a week – ten weeks is not that long but the longest we’ve ever really been apart in the 5 years we’ve been together is two-three nights. Not very long. [...]

Will Not…

September 5, 2011

I know they say telling yourself not to do something generally makes you want to do it more. Yes. Ish. Looking at myself in the mirror kind of makes myself want to be ill. Seriously homies, I’ve let myself go and it’s not that I’m totally sedentary, I just am bad at keeping with my [...]

September Goals

August 31, 2011

Ugh. I can’t believe August is already over. I feel…relieved? My crazy schedule is still crazy but moving to a 9:30-6:30p schedule will hopefully allow me to get up in the AM and workout – as I’m accustomed to getting up at 6 and won’t have to leave til just about 8a. So I’m just [...]

Comparision and discipline

August 22, 2011

So as I mentioned yesterday, I’m working on resetting my goals. Mostly because I’ve been struggling with the whole accountability thing. I write a good game, but I find it tough to juggle a demanding work schedule, a long ass commute, and a busy social life to actually follow through on it. So I’ve been [...]

Resetting goals

August 21, 2011

So I’m resetting my goals. Not resetting per se but rather reevaluating. Next weekend hubs and I are running the Annapolis ten miler – we’ve trained…but there’s been a lot of walking in our training. Mostly because we both just enjoy walking and talking with one another. That’s not necessarily a bad thing I don’t [...]

Just Stop

July 24, 2011

I need to stop. Stop doing things that I don’t want to do that I think people want me to do. Does that make sense? Like for instance, I’m in the process of going through my google reader. I have a lot of blogs on there, half of which are deserted and another quarter of [...]

Weekly Weigh In

July 12, 2011

So last night I hit up a Weight Watchers meeting for the first time in a few weeks. I’m so back and forth with the tracking – some days I do really great and I stick with it. Other days – usually toward the end of the week…not so much. For instance, I’m pretty sure [...]
