I’m linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons for Thinking Out Loud. The Cowtown was two weeks ago, and I’ve been meaning to put a few thoughts out there ever since (procrastination at its finest). The people I know…aren’t really athletically inclined, for the most part. So, when I tell them I did a… Continue reading TOL: the cowtown race re-cap/positive self talk
Linking up with Meghan at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for the Week in Review. I survived the week. This is a huge accomplishment. And I took quite a few pictures. Work was work. I ended up working a short (10-hour) day Wednesday because bad weather/sleet moved in, and we sent the patients home early for… Continue reading week in review: races
Linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons to talk about my running motivation–or lack thereof. Actually, I’m just trying to motivate myself into finishing the other half of my homework and getting a run in, since I was too swamped on Tuesday to run (bad runner, I know). These are the stages of my… Continue reading what my running motivation looks like on any given day
From July 6th of last year to around mid-October, I made huge changes in my diet and exercise routine (which had been mostly slim to none before that). I started running with the Couch to 5k app, cut out processed carbs for the most part, and lost 28 pounds, ran a 5k trail run, and… Continue reading weekly review: the truth hurts
I finally managed to get in all my planned workouts this week! I’m not doing super intense workouts or anything, But I got them done and didn’t talk myself out of a single one. (That in itself is HUGE.) Just for comparison, I’m also tracking my steps every day. Monday: (worked 14 hours) 11,956 steps… Continue reading weekly workouts
I’m just going to say it: I did not hit all my goals for 2016. There. No sugar-coating here. However, the mere fact that I had goals—fore the fist time in 3 years or so—is a big step, and I did make progress on my goals, so I’ll count it as a win. In 2016,… Continue reading where I blather on about what I didn’t accomplish last year, and my goals for this year
Linking up with Meghan over at Clean Eats, Fast Feets for this one. It’s been like 3 weeks since I’ve posted on here, and a month since I’ve done a Week in Review post. Oops. So, what’s been going on? My staycation went well: I did a deep clean of the apartment, one room per… Continue reading week in review: MIA
It’s been a while since I updated things here. There’s been a lot going on. I didn’t make it to the gym on Tuesday because I had so much homework to do, and that was the only day I had to do it. But I did hit the road for a 6 mile run on… Continue reading weekend workouts #17
I actually didn’t procrastinate around the house this morning for too long. (Busy. I was busy. Promise.) Instead, I did several things that needed doing, and one project that accidentally happened. (Went in the kitchen to put something away, and ended up clearing off most of the stuff on top of the cabinet and reorganizing… Continue reading gym mystery
I’m pleased to say that this week was a bit more than last week. I did get to go to the funeral for my friend (working in health care, there are certain legal staff to patient ratios that must be maintained, so it required some juggling, but it happened. Thanks to my awesome co-workers!) It… Continue reading week in review
