World Sisterhood EA Sports Run Day

Yesterday was World Run Day 2009 and also our EA Sports Active 5k Challenge over at The Sisterhood.  There was no race in my area yesterday, so I had to come up with own route.  Luckily, there’s a race in a couple of weeks so I just went online and stole the course.
And oh my, [...]

Fitness Friday!

I realize it’s been a while since I’ve posted a Fitness Friday, but I finally feel like I have something to talk about!
This past Wednesday, I ran 3.1 miles without stopping for the first time EVER!  I’ve completed 2 5k races, but I always had to walk a portion of them.
The key this time?  I [...]

It’s a Shrink-a-versary Extravaganza

We interrupt this computer hiatus for a very important announcement:
WE’VE BEEN SHRINKING FOR A YEAR!

I seriously cannot believe it’s been a year since I’ve joined up with this amazing group of people.  They’ve been encouraged me during my up times and supported me during my down times.  They are truly, TRULY amazing.
To celebrate our 1 [...]

Fitness Friday

Things around here are pretty status quo.  The 5k is 2 weeks from tomorrow, but I still haven’t been able to put my hands on a course map  yet.  That makes me a little bit nervous.  I’d like to have a chance to drive the course before race day, just so I know what to [...]

Sisters Weigh In

Today is the last day of the 21 Day Challenge over at The Sisterhood!!
And just in this instant, I realize that I never posted last week.  Oops!  I’m not sure I even weighed in, but I know that I was up.  Way up.
I was not expecting much when I stepped on the scale this [...]

Sisters Weigh In

Time to weigh in, Sisters!  How are you guys doing on your habits??
Well, I stepped on the scale this morning and about passed out.
I am down 3.2 pounds this week, ya’ll.
3.2 POUNDS!
I guess I did pretty well on my habits this week, LOL!
I kind of suspected that I may be retaining some water after cutting [...]

Fitness Friday

I seriously considered not writing a post today.
I haven’t been doing so great (imagine that) and just felt like a big stupid head coming here to tell you that again.
I should change this to Not Doing My Fitness Plan Fridays.
But I’m going to turn that frown upside down.  Instead of abandoning, I’m revising.

The 100 pushups [...]

Sisters Weigh In

Today is the Day 1 (of 21) for The Sisterhood’s newest challenge.  And while this time around, it’s not about the weight loss per se, I am LOVING the idea of this challenge.
You know they say it takes 21 days to make a habit.  So for this challenge, we are supposed to pick some habits [...]

Sisters Weigh In

Despite consuming 3/4 of a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos earlier this week (that was a fun dinner!) I still managed to lose a pound this week.
Unfortunately, that brings me back to my starting weight of 157.
5 weeks and nothing to show for it.  Go me!
Aside from the unfortunate Doritos incident, I really have [...]

Sisters Weigh In

I did it! I actually FOLLOWED the plan and the plan worked. I journaled ALL my food and got in 5 fruit and vegetable servings every day. I limited my dessert/candy/sugar intake. I even managed a (small) workout or two.
The result?
Last week: 158
This week: 157
Down a pound! Yippee! Just [...]
