Reflection on 2014 and Best Wishes for 2015
When 2014 started, I honestly didn’t have any expectations of the coming year. I gave up on New Year’s Resolutions a long time ago! But when I think back over the last 364 days, I realize there were a lot of monumental changes in my life this year. Not only did I finally get my…
YEAR END RESULTS!
10 months, 47 pounds, 38 inches down…18 pounds to go until my ultimate goal weight! For those of you that don’t use pictures or measurements as motivation, you should start! The scale isn’t the only place to see changes…and sometimes it can really work against you and be very unmotivating. See it and feel it….
Common Misconceptions
One of my first blog posts was called “The Ugly Truth” and though it was filled with lots of useful information, I felt it necessary to revisit some of those ideas, and also some common misconceptions that many have regarding health, fitness, weight loss, Beachbody, and Shakeology. Misconception #1: You have to eat less to lose weight….
That time of year…
The holidays are here and if you’re anything like me (and millions of others), you’re confronted with temptations daily. It is also the time of year that most people start thinking about what they have accomplished in the past 11 months and begin making resolutions for the next year. And though I tend to focus…
See Cat Run
Well, here we are…week 12. Three days away from my first half marathon. I posted weekly updates until week 4, then combined weeks 5 and 6, finally giving up posting about it altogether for some reason. I figured I needed to document everything, even minimally, just so I can remember this in the future! I…
Support, Encourage, Admire
I’ve seen this a couple of different places recently, and it really resonated with me. It’s so so so true. And for lots of different reasons. I don’t want anyone to think what I’m about to cover is singling any one person out, because I’ve heard this stuff multiple times from many different people…bear with…
Never Give Up!!
NEVER GIVE UP! I want to share why… I visited my mother in Florida three days after my first round of the 21 Day Fix and we realized this last weekend that she never sent me the pictures. The picture on the left was taken March 22nd. The picture on the right was taken October…
Half Marathon Training – Weeks 5 & 6 Update
Sorry I’ve been kind of distant lately…work has been a little hectic, then we had house guests two weekends in a row! My training is going great!! Week 5 my shorter runs were 4 miles, which I completed in 36:08 and 35:48. My longer run was supposed to be 6 miles, but I figured that…
Half Marathon Training – 4 week update
So this week was great for my shorter runs but my longer run was a little more disappointing. Repeated last week’s distances, so my shorter ones were 3.5 and my longer run today was 5 miles again. This week’s shorter runs came in at 31:29 and 31:20, which was better than last week’s 31:41 and…
