Car broke down on the tollway on the way to a concert Tuesday. Had to hoof it almost a mile to the place the concert was being held at. Between car repairs...stress and ankle pain (now), I'm discouraged. Just feeling the $$ crunch right now...sorry....Warm up week - Wheel of Cardio
This morning I woke up late and didn't get to the gym until 10:00. Unforseen circumstance yet it's about improvisation. I didn't miss the workout, in fact...I spun my... WHEEL OF CARDIO!!! Round and round...it stopped on...45 minutes on the Elliptical!So I hit the gym. I got on the machine and saw they had a fat-burning setting. So, I decided to use it. BOY - was that ever an INTENSE workout!&...Better Mom...New Mom
School report cards and grades are really important in our house. A's are awesome...B's are good...C's? Well - we're gonna talk. I've finally realized that I've been acting like my own mother. She would ice you if you disappointed her...going for your jugglar to knock you down a few pegs. Belittle you and make you feel small and hopeless. I can't tell you how painful this is...realizing that you were doing this ...FREE DAY!!!
F R E E D A Y ! ! !Today is my FREE DAY! I am taking a lesson from Shane here when I take my free days. He told me the point of a free day is that it's FREE. Free to eat a little or a lot...free to get in 6 meals or free to not...free to drink your water or not. Free from rules...free from thinking...just FREE...I - however - am NOT free from being accountable for my goals or from keeping connected to you all! Why would I want to lose touc...*CHEER* I found my 5k race!!!

"Hop"e you can make it! ...Warm up week - Cardio
This morning it was not as much of a struggle to get out of bed. I was sluggish - but nothing a good cup o' joe couldn't cure. I donned my workout clothes and headed to the gym - still bouncing from my experience w/ my son Jack yesterday. If you get a chance, check out my blog from yesterday: http://www.transformation.com/floorance/blog/Pre-Transformation-Work/Out-of-the-mouth-of-babes/11996 It absolutely was one of the most p...Out of the mouth of babes...
Today I was playing with my youngest son Jack who's 3. Before recently, I had always been the type of mom to take a backseat...watching him play with his brother or my husband - sitting on the sidelines. It was all a wall...holding my children at arms length -vs- holding them close to my heart. This was something my mother did...something I felt doomed to repeat. I never thought I had a choice before... Not today - today I...LBWO - Warmup Week
Happy New Year! Today I'm off work so I'm heading to the gym around 10:00 or 11:00. Believe me - I expect it to be C R O W D E D ! Filled with folks who will again make resolutions this year they are doomed not to keep. I want to be the change for them...I want them to see this fat body do amazing things and I want them to ask me questions!I've tried to be really approachable at the gym...smiling and saying hello to ...HOW much bodyfat was that again???

Today didn't start out as well as I had planned but I made my meals and have them ready to go here at work. I'll be doing my cardio at lunchtime. It's all about progression and that is what I'm focusing on. This week is a warmup week. I'm getting my meals down, getting my sleep patterns changed and working on getting my workouts in line. I'll be raring to go come 1/5.--------------------------------------------------...Santa through the eyes of a 3 year old
On Saturday we went to our church's first annual Christmas party. We brought our pot-luck desert and found a table to sit down. We knew Santa would be there but I never anticipated what would happen next.We heard some sleigh bells and in came Santa Claus. The church did such a wonderful job setting up a little area off in the corner where Santa took up residence for the remainder of the party. Because the line for the dinn...2009 Champion? You betcha! It's on like Donkey Kong!
Dusty challenged anyone to knock him off the hill to become a 2009 Champion. Wow...all it took was a little trash talking to catapult me forward... It's ON like Donkey Kong!!! I'm so on fire now! Dusty - you're goin' down :) ...It's progression....it's progression...
Felt that lightness on Thursday and yesterday, all hell broke loose.I let go of letting go. I had a free weekend - not a day and I found myself yelling at my kids last night. It's progression...not perfection. Change takes time - I didn't get this way overnight and I'm not going to change back overnight. Here's the positive, I actually REALIZE that I've done these things and the time between the act and the realization is ...Lightness
I woke up this morning and donned my workout clothes and headed to the gym for my LBWO. It was 5am but I felt so awake and alive - there was a lightness in my heart.Lightness is something I do not remember feeling before. I don't know if it was the Christmas decorations shimering in the darkness, or the Christmas songs playing on the radio, but for the first time in almost 12 years, I felt a lightness in my heart.I felt forgiveness, l...This is why we do this...need your prayers today.
Yesterday afternoon my sister called me into her office. (I work with my brother & sister in their business). She said my brother Mike who is only 43 was headed to the hospital. He went to his doctor because he wasn't feeling well: couldn't sleep and was short of breath. The doctor said his heart was beating irregularly and sent him in to be looked at. I didn't hear anything last night.This morning, I got into the offi...Togetherness - it's a beautiful thing
Well - today is the first day my husband and I are eating on the same schedule. I cooked him some meals to grab and go (as well as my own). Now, it's just getting him to eat them / drink his water. So far so good, he's just eating his first meal (8:45am) of Egg Beaters, lean ham diced, tortilla and fat-free cheese slice. The it's off to pre-preschool class with my 3 yr old and back home by 11 - just in time for his next me...Today keeps getting better...
Not only did I have an awesome elliptical workout this morning and find a personal trainer who is familiar with and can help me with the weight training, but it finally seems like we are getting somewhere with our personal debt.Praise Jesus today...the world is a little brighter this morning, the air a little crisper. I can feel a change comin' over me that I haven't felt before. My relationship with my husband is getting stronger, wi...Rev up those engines!
Woke up this morning to temperatures which hovered around 0 - NICE way to start the day :) I got my coffee, did some visualization and headed for the gym. I hit the elliptical and improved on my time (20 min yesterday) - today I went 25 minutes. During the first 10 minutes, I was feeling really comfortable so I upped the level to 2. Felt a little more challenging but still comfortable - so I upped the level again to 3...floorance
