The Garden of your life...

MATTHEW 13  24-3024 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the weeds also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed...

Taking a long - hard look at your before picture

This morning I took an energized 1/2 hour walk outside.  I filled my head with positive images and songs as I strutted down the sidewalk.  I'm sure some of the drivers in the cars passing by were giving some strange stares when I would really begin to get into the music I was listening to.  LOL - But hey - it's all about how you feel inside, right?I have decided to begin to take a long-hard look at my before picture - only taken 2 ...

Julie GUMP - I was RUN-NING......

This morning George & I did our walk/run "couch to 5K" HIIT routine and I have to say that today I felt a little stronger.  It could have been the smashbra (one that smashes you down so tight NOTHING is moving) or it could have been the fact I wasn't holding a coffee tumbler, but somehow today's HIIT seemed to go much smoother.  Two things I'm noticing:1) I find myself clenching my fists when I run.  I have to be very...

Raw Emotions...

This morning I woke up and took a morning walk listening to Enya.  I looked at the trees...the flowers...smelled the fresh air and began my day on a positive note.  Legs are sore - last night I took my 10 yr old for a haircut and needed to pick up a few things at a store down the way.  Instead of getting in the car and driving the 1/4 mile, we walked.  Yet another opportunity for us to spend time together.While we were walking...

George & I RAN TODAY!

Morning guys and gals!  Well - today I DID IT!  I actually ran!  This was one of my goals during this challenge and - 1 week in - I've achieved it!  I'm so proud of me!  Thanks to the couch to 5K folks for pointing the way to the podcast.  For the first time since I was a teenage, I hit the ground running this morning performing my first ever walk/run HIIT cardio session.  After the bikeride I took yesterday wit...

...It's just like riding a bike...you NEVER forget!

Today, probably for the first time since I was a teenager, I got on a bike.  I decided to push myself to do something different today so I invited my 10 yr old for a bike ride with mom.  WOW...quads and hamstrings are wobbly!!!  We rode about 2 miles and I only had to stop twice to take a break and walk my bike (I was hitting a 10 so I figured I'd turn this joyride into a HIIT session ;) )  I felt a connection with my son.&nbs...

body for LIFE not BODY for life

I woke up this morning uninspired.  I intended to get up and do my first couch to 5K walk/run but let the pain of sleeping wrong and the voice of my inner negativity get the best of me.  I went downstairs, did the dishes, made some coffee and went down to the basement to the computer.  After checking my Ebay auctions, I went back upstairs to our bedroom to take a shower and get ready for the day.I hopped into a shower that probably...
