Long time! But back at it!
So there's been a legit reason I fell off the bandwagon. My car started smoking Thursday after work and I knew I needed maintenance so I decided not to drive it until my friend Marcus could check it out. Anywhoo he couldn't look at it until Saturday. On top of that Chase has been staying with me and we were fatties so there's no point in working ( Read more... ) -
Disappointed but NOT giving up!
Today was the weigh in for week 3. I didn't gain or lose a pound. Which could be OK. I have been doing strength training so it could be muscle building in place of the fat. Like I said, my goal weight is 156. It will take over a year to happen and when it does, I'll have a lot of muscle in place of fat, which prevents fat from coming back. I CAN DO ( Read more... ) -
Nervous
Tomorrow I'm anxious to weigh in. I hope to have lost another pound at least. I've worked hard this week and I hope my diet isn't burdening me from losing pounds. Tomorrow will be a breaking point. If I have no results I will cut back on the eating as well.
I'm happy I have this LJ to write in. It helps me get out of my worries and express my ( Read more... ) -
9.5 miles DONE!
I just finished my 2 mile recovery walk for a grand total of 9.5 miles done this week :) Goal accomplished for my marathon training week 1. So excited to be working out and being healthy. My legs feel good :) Not sore from yesterday's long run. The key is to stench afterwards. Next week starts 5-day running training. I CAN DO IT! I am a little ( Read more... ) -
Long Run
Didn't make it to the gym yesterday. I felt guilty but I had a amazing day with my family :) So I'm happy I got time with them. Today I went early because I knew I had to do a 3-mile run/walk. I worked my legs today and did well, meaning I pushed myself. I was sweating and out of breath by the end. I jumped right on the treadmill and went to town ( Read more... ) -
Feeling Strong
Feeling good today. The soreness is gone and my shins are at a level 2 pain. Very minimal. I love it. I'm glad that my shins are not in a lot of pain. Today I am going to focus on strength training my legs and core. No running today. I'll do my cardio on the elliptical. So yea! Feeling a lot more positive than I did last night after that run. I was ( Read more... ) -
Running Sucks
OMG I don't know how runners do it. My legs (shins) are killing me. I did 2.4 miles today when I was suppose to do 2.5 so not to bad. I didn't even check before doing it but that's OK. I didn't go to the gym because I had a busy day so I told myself to take the day off. BUT when I got home from my AMAZING dinner I changed into workout gear, walked ( Read more... ) -
Quick Break
I'm at the gym on a break. Just finished my first day of marathon training. OMG I'm dead. Today was 2 miles with 2 run / 1 min walk. I did that for about 5 mins and then I went to 1/1. It was a lot harder than I thought. It took 27:55 to complete. So now I know and have a place to improve. I'm drenched in sweat. I'm kind of dizzy so I think I'm not ( Read more... ) -
Cardio-blocked
So today was suppose to be my first day training for the marathon. BUT Brittany decided to show up and workout with me so I got sucked into doing a class instead of my 2-mile run/walk. It's good because I still got my cardio workout in. My arms are dead. I won't be working these out for a few days now. Anywhoo, tomorrow I'll start my training!!! I ( Read more... ) -
Slow at work
It's dead here. What a waste time. I want to r at the gym so bad right now. Blah blah blah. I have my stuff packed and ready to go though. :) See I knew I would be motivated by the start of the week. Anywhoo got to go before my manager sees me. Bye!
