anguish

challenge.

i’ve learned something about myself in the last two days. i may work in my house, and i may have said in the past that getting 10,000 steps a day in my house on a regular basis is impossible. but throw a little friendly competition in my face, and all of a sudden…i can hit 14,000 […]

plexus

i have spent the past three years doing constant research. from the time Joe and i got married, i felt something change in my body. i was 39. when i started gaining weight that i couldn’t explain (because nothing changed–not my nutrition, not my workouts, not my stress level), people kept saying to me, “you’re just […]

on hold.

a month into my most recent (new) workout program (update on P90X3 coming soon)(i’m sure you’re chomping at the bit!!), and i keep glancing at the mirror, expecting something different. there’s this feeling of insanity about once a week when i get very real with myself before changing out of my workout attire (unforgiving stuff, […]

warning: parenthesis to follow. many of them. if you and i are friends, you know i talk in parenthesis as much as i write in them, so none of this will come as a shock to you. but just in case you stumbled upon my blog randomly…consider yourself warned. a really (really, really) long time […]

link.

so you know i’m following the biggest loser. like a maniac. (really, it’s a little sick. i’m almost done with season 10 now.) i bought a bodymedia “link” unit two weeks ago…you know, just like the contestants wear in every season. (image found at http://bodymedia.com) i might be a little addicted to it, too. it […]

I ran

It hurt. My sister hurt more. Because she is an animal. She ran AND biked. AND ran. AND biked. AND ran AGAIN. I have no idea how she did it…frankly, I don’t know why (because I simply can’t relate). But she did every single bit of it, and she looked so great coming across that […]

Today

Today is the duathlon. I will run. I will walk if I have to. I will hydrate and fuel my body and attempt not to be sick on the starting line (or the finish line). I will speak the words, “I am doing this for me. I am doing this for me. I am doing […]

Training

Over the past 3 weeks, I have trained for a duathlon I will do with my amazing father. He will bike, I will run. Or, rather, I will run, then he will bike, then I will run, then he will bike, then I will run again. Have I mentioned that I hate to run? When […]
