I swam 900m Friday AM with Christy as my first workout in weeks. I have not been eating very well (a mix of stress and a new medicine that curbs my appetite) and ended up very sick by lunch time. I went home and slept until dinner time. I ate a huge dinner, drank a […]

I understand a post full of complaints sure makes it tough for a reader to respond. Not that I expect any of you to ever respond — I don’t! All comments are a lovely treat, and often surprises. But anyway, I decided I should give myself an attitude check and try this again.
I have […]

I met Tommy’s co-worker and new (but good) friend “Britt” this past weekend. Throughout the evening, Britt mentioned his insecurity about his weight more than once — he used it as the butt of his jokes most of the evening.

Hello Fitness Family! It’s been too long…
Well, January begins my REAL traithlon training. I wanted to be able to comfortably run a 5k before I started really training for the Sprint Tri in late March, and I completed that goal! Now begins the real training.
I didn’t go to the gym this morning as […]

Okay… I know a 5k is no big deal to most (all) of you… but I am really, really excited about my race tomorrow!
I’ll be honest — I do not expect to run the entire way. I plan on “walking the hills” if I have to. I pretty freakin sure I will NOT be coming […]

Okay I looked at my logbook stats… it’s official. The last time I made any sort of an effort to run/jog/pick-up-my-feet-and-GO was OVER a month ago. Whew-wee.
Having “been there, done that” I would like to reflect on my time off of exercising this past month.
It was pretty bad. I cried a lot. I got stressed […]

It’s not really in my reward system… but I believe it is an essential.
My sister is moving today (I am really sad about this, actually…) and is taking her mountain bike with her (I’m not that sad about this part) so I decided to buy my friend’s Trek bike off of her. We’re the same […]

I took the “weight goals” text off of my sidebar.
Yesterday I added the “fitness tip of the day” tool to my iGoogle home page. Wouldn’t you know that the first tip I saw said something like “Think about how great you will feel when you lose the 10, 20, 30 lbs that you are reaching […]
