weight lifting tuesday

-

BEAUTIFUL here today... really wanted to go for a nice long run... I was "craving it".. YES! I am sooo happy i have the craving back! sweet.
but
I stuck with my plan and lifted weights instead.

After watching the finale of the Biggest Loser today (in spurts between many many other things)... I was so very motived to get in there again and lift weights with a passion. I am now officially jello body ruthie... which is great!

so glad i am feeling stronger. so thankful i have a back and shoulder that let me lift again! I am thankful for every workout... after those aweful months of laying around and feeling sorry for myself.. I am so happy to feel like jello again!

tomorrow i will run.. prob a mile warm up.. then sprints.. and then how ever long of a cool down to get me to my 50 min workout

one thing I found while going though all those old boxes was that coaches packet he gave me when i was a jr in highschool. our workout schedule was in there... and its no wonder i could eat anything and everything and not have a weight problem then... I practices from 4:45 to 8pm or dark 5 days a week! I also road my bike to practice! the weekends were full of games! if I worked out 3 to 4 hours a day 5 days a week now... I can only imagine what i would look like. ... But.. that is the challenge.... to balance life and fitness. .. today was a good day :)

Can we talk about "dreams" for a minute? I have two dreams that keep popping in this silly head of mine.... two thoughts that I feel like i am being pushed toward... one is that of being a personal trainer and the other is to run that stinkin full marathon. Its wierd ....wonder if either of those things will ever happen?

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. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

Bread.

on the way "home" from the grocery store with fruit and some gluten free bread products in my pack :) Oh how I have missed bread. You see I am someone who use to eat a whole loaf of garlic bread by myself on my "free day" when I did body for life. Yummy buttery bread. I have missed you. Since doing the gluten free thing I have avoided buying bread. Mainly because all I could find was 7 dollars a loaf! and that was a mini loaf :( . It just seemed too pricey. I would just not eat it. Its been almost 3 weeks since my last peice of ''real" bread. I have had moments (brief) of missing it. Lately, on our trip I have been missing it a lot. mostly cause we are doing sandwiches for lunch every day. Everyone else has bread and I have lettuce wraps.  In reality I cannot see living my whole life without bread. I have gluten free bread mix at home... but I didnt make it before we left on vacation. so today. We went for a walk I needed to get some fruit...
