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
Fear The Vince
Day Two - This is Day Two of the 21-day commitment to workout every day, blog every day, and eat right every day. See how this "It takes 21-days to form a habit" is going to work for me. Today was my second day of this commitment and my third boot camp class. Here is… Continue reading Fear The Vince
21 Days huh?
So I think my inconsistent blogging, my inconsistent exercise, and my inconsistent weight loss would indicate I have some sort of commitment issue, and the saying is that it takes 21 days to form a habit, I am on a 21-day quest. For the next 21-days I will exercise every day, blog every day, and track… Continue reading 21 Days huh?
The Fitness Track is Rickety and my Train Keeps Derailing
In spite of successfully motivating myself to run the 10K this weekend, I am feeling like I cannot get back on track with the training I was doing before my half marathon. The two races I have run since the Princess Half have both produced slower finish times than races of the same length that… Continue reading The Fitness Track is Rickety and my Train Keeps Derailing
Do not stretch the truth, but definitely stretch your body
Never underestimate the importance of stretching before and after a run; that is the lesson I learned today. I mentioned yesterday that I had not worked out for a whole week until my run yesterday. When I put in my regular 5-day workout I stretch each time before and after my run or strength workout;… Continue reading Do not stretch the truth, but definitely stretch your body
Packing, sweeping, and dusting count as a workout!
Yesterday I took off from running, exercising and blogging; I spent the day doing pretty much nothing. I was feeling a little guilty but knowing I had to clean and start packing today made me feel less guilty and I am over it. Today started off nice, I went to Half Priced Books and picked… Continue reading Packing, sweeping, and dusting count as a workout!
Fanny Packs and other things that inspire you
Today I did my five-mile run/walk on the river; I did five miles and it took about 70 minutes, about a 14:00 minute mile, considering the air quality was awful and humidity had to be 186% I was happy with it. Before I finish this inspiring message, I have to tell you about my conversation this… Continue reading Fanny Packs and other things that inspire you
Failure is NOT an option
I had a great run at the gym tonight, at least it was great for me. I am really new to this whole running for pleasure as opposed to running from danger thing; a lot of what I have done to this point has been lots of trial and a little error (do not want… Continue reading Failure is NOT an option
