Great success!

diet, goal setting, health and fitness / 11 Comments

Woke up this morning after a highly successful day yesterday! On Monday, I had lots of issues with waiting around for the cable guy (long story short, I had to sit in my apartment for eight hours while they kept telling me he was on his way and not to leave) so I didn’t get to finish my arms workout at the gym, or go for a run. I made up for that yesterday by hitting the gym early to take care of some weight lifting, and I’m impressed with how much stronger I am already. On the rowing machine, …

Chia, stop paying off Boyfriend to sabotage my weight loss

diet, goal setting, health and fitness / 20 Comments

Yesterday I planned to go on a long run in the morning, ending at Boyfriend’s place where I could enjoy the Westin Heavenly Shower I got him for Christmas. His phone was on vibrate across the room, so he didn’t hear me calling and didn’t give me a call until 5 PM, when it was already dark out. Last night, I planned to go to a free pilates class at Lululemon Athletics. I haven’t taken pilates in years and I used to hate it, but my core is stronger now than it was then, and yesterday was my day to …

Guess I needed some sleep 🙂 I woke up feeling a bit sluggish and not wanting at all to work out (see: 24 hour motivation), but I plodded into the bathroom to weigh in. I’m trying to do it every day, but some days I stay at Boyfriend’s where there is no scale and then I drink coffee and eat breakfat before going home, so by the time I get home, the scale won’t be accurate. A bit of background: for …

Just call me carrot girl

cooking, diet, health and fitness / 20 Comments

Back from the doctor’s, and hurray! I am neither pregnant nor dying. My bloodwork was almost all back – there were a few things that weren’t quite ready, but she said they were extremely rare and she doubted they would come back positive, but she’d call me if they did. Anyway, I’m negative for just about everything, with the exception of some silly stuff. For example, mono came up, but there are a few different levels they test, and the old level came up showing that I had mono when I was younger, but the current level shows I’m fine …

Nutrition and the holidays

diet, running / 14 Comments

A conversation with my friend Lindsey: Me: Can you please explain to me how I can be in the best shape of my life in terms of what I can accomplish physically, yet look in the worst shape of my life?Lindsey: Well, you’ve probably bulked up a bit from running.Me: If by bulked up you mean on fat, not muscle…Me: Last night I did two hours on the elliptical – 12 miles. I feel totally refreshed, like I didn’t even work out. And this comes after running a 4:30 marathon on Sunday morning. Which, I might add, I was sick/tired …
