Disappointment

I have felt this way before and I am sure I will again, the feeling that getting out there, even if it does not go well, is better than not going at all. I went out for my run this morning, I was about a mile in and had to call it quits and go… Continue reading Disappointment

I am on Day-7, or a third of… Continue reading One week down, two to go

The Laundry Still Needs to Get Done

Day-6, the day reality set in on my adventurous quest to a better me.  I love the idea of getting in shape, the idea of being more committed, I really wish I could do it outside the confines of real life.  I did not think much about the everyday things like doing the dishes, sweeping… Continue reading The Laundry Still Needs to Get Done

I Can’t do That

Day-5 of my quest and my 4th visit to my fitness boot camp.  The Vince was not the instructor today but Trenton was definitely as effective!  Today our BC was 60-minutes, 47 different moves of 60-seconds each.  The warm up moves, relatively easy, everything after that, all I could think was, "I can't do that".… Continue reading I Can’t do That

The hardest part so far

I am on DAY-4 of my 21-day quest to blog, exercise, and eat right every day.  The hardest part so far, blogging every day.  I am not as verbose, or probably should say I am not as interesting, as I thought I was going to be. That being said, I can still tell you about… Continue reading The hardest part so far

Day 3 – for lack of a more clever title

Is it too early for this quote?  It is not really LONG after I said I would do it, but it has been three days. Actually it has been a good three days; still upright, have not really gotten mad at anyone, and I am here typing my blog.  I did not commit to a… Continue reading Day 3 – for lack of a more clever title
