I just LOVE finishing the day off with a nice banana, strawberry and blueberry protien shake! with NO sugar added :)

just yummmmmmmmmmmmmy


and I am so very happy my hair is growing out so fast! :) i think the good nutrition is working!
track was windy... I was to run 40 mins.. i did about 31.. the wind was blowing NON STOP.. like 30 mph.. at one point when i stopped to take my jacket off it literally almost blew me over!
I ran a mile..
then i did sprints.. YIKES
then
my legs were really tired.
i did a few bleachers..
and called it good enough.

my legs are still tired from those sprints!

I had a OH NO moment today! .. i was running late for a meeting.... we were meeting at chick fe la.. I asked my DD to order for me.. and only after my 3rd bite did i realize.. I was eating chicken! .. SHOOT.. i was 2 days meat free... and it totally didnt even register .. so funny. .. talk about habits ... THAT was a sure habit mode mistake LOL (OOPS)

..
..
do you ever feel like life is just soaring by and you cant stop it? some days i feel like i am holding on to the day with one hand going ... no.. wait!!!! ... it cant be (insert day) ALREADY!

..
gotta go.. supper, church, a run to the store for supplies for class tomorrow (paper mache!!! yipeeeee)

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way.

URGH... its taken me FOREVER to get a video up .... I had to keep making it shorter and shorter.. .. it only seems right that a marathon video should be a marathon length dont ya think? .... I finally got it to work :) yipee.. (see below) If it doesnt play when you click the arrow... click on the upside down arrow :) I added this second video... its the same but a bit bigger.. or you can go to vimeo and watching it even larger if you want :) Untitled from ruthie swed on Vimeo . If that wasnt enough for you... heres some text scoop :) first of all friday didnt turn out like I expected. I didn't get all my meals in and I got to bed later than i wanted-needed too. Saturday morning I woke up very tired. I considered just skipping it and running the Marathon another day. I tried to go back to sleep but just couldnt. I got up and left the house by about 610am. I knew this would come back to haunt me.. an hour in west texas makes a big difference when you are talking about morning heat-...

Happy to say I am not very saddle sore from the bike ride last night.. think this ole tush is getting use to riding again:) it was nice to get up this morning and get to workout.. I did three b's .. squats, leg extensions, dead lift, leg curls, bi curls and then I decided to throw in some abs cause I didnt do them last night.. :) I am feeling stronger and stronger and that feels nice. I am also getting leaner.. today I notice above my knee caps was CUT!.. I am not going to complain here.. because getting rid of fat is getting rid of fat.. but why.. I ask you .. does it come off my knee caps, and my shoulders instead of my baby belly or my bottom? .. its just not really that funny but I cant help but laugh.. what do to.. but to keep going.. and some day I will have the nice lean increadably cut knee knees I have always dreamed of. :) hehe.. Happy friday! taking the kids swimming today.. first time this summer. have to run and get suits for them.. they keep growing out of theirs! ho...
