lunges and the long run

-
had a great meet up today with the gal :) they did 6 miles.. I only did about 3.
I also did 30 walking lunges slow and low... I am already feeling it :)

I didnt want to push it on the mileage today because my right foot is a bit tender from that "track dancing" on concrete yesterday :).... I will be doing this weeks plan but will prob. try and do my long runs at a different time than the group. I have found I want to stay with the ladies and really really enjoy the visiting and inspiration I gain from them during their workouts.

so here is my plan for this week: ( i will try my long run on friday and see how it goes... might have to change it up for next week... we will see :)

Monday: Weight lifting upper body
Tuesday: 50 min run
Wednesday: 30 min run-- sprint work and upper body
Thursday: 50 min run
Friday: 7 miles
Saturday: unknown miles (prob 3) with the gals as they do their 7
Sunday: rest

On the eats front.. I am doing well... I did have a few.... (about 15) m&ms this weekend, I also had about 4 oz of coke on Friday... but I HATED it. .. I literally took 3 sips and that was it.. Ididnt like it.. and went and grabbed some water instead. I CANNOT believe how bad the soda tasted! My tastes buds are definately at a place they have NEVER been before :)

My favorite snack lately has been yummy juicy oranges. I slice them, (unpeeled) in circles, then half circles. YUM! They are sooo gooooood!

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 ...

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...

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...
