run and pushup fun

-

got a morning run in today :) I ran 2.5 miles outside and it was AMAZING outside! wind 2 mph and temp in low 50s. I loved it. I actually over dressed and my tummy started hurting (more on that later) so i headed home and finished another mile on the treadmill. The last mile on the mill was sprint work :) I felt great afterward .

The photo above is after I finished my 101 pushups for today :) I did a set of 20, rest, 15 rest, 15 rest, 15 rest, 10 rest, 10 rest, 10 rest, 6 done :) for a total of 101. My arms are shot. but I can tell i am getting stronger. :) I am actually starting to LOVE pushups! (who thought that would ever happen!) I love the work of it, i love the cardio effect and i love the way its changing the look of my arms and yes.. my chest. :)

as far as my tummy issue... yes.. i made homemade bbq pizza last night. I ate only one and half peices but that was enough cheese to make my tum tum not happy. So.... I am steadily getting use to the idea that cheese as well as milk are not my friend :)... its all good. I dont need the extra calories anywho. :)

Ok... so thats if for now.... I gotta go be a homeschooling mom now :) see you next time!

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...
