Gymmigration - crossing over to the other side -...
I’m too pooped to proofread this for mistakes, will do it tomorrow, So, anyone who has read any of my blogs knows that I use writing for many things. to keep myself accountable to fire up my drive and determination when they start to flicker to work myself into a motivation frenzy to keep a record so I can look back and see how far I have come to get feedback and advice from other...

Gymtimidation....
So…. like…. after you join a gym…. erm…. what exactly do you DO there? I consider myself to be an assertive, strong, confident and capable person. I know that, at the gym, all the sexy hardbodies I am surrounded by are too focused on what they are doing to even notice me unless I break some gym etiquette- and then I would be an irritation more than a spectacle. I know...

There is too much in my way....
The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the others willing to let them.” - Robert Frost. Right now, I’m willing to let others work. It’s so true that I’m not even denying it. I know that’s what is going on in my head. There is just too much in the way. TOO TOO TOO MUCH. I was all big talk about persevering through the holidays, and even though...

ZZZZZZZzzzZZzzzzzZZZzzzzzZ
Im soooooooooooooo tired. I had a busy, healthy and productive weekend. Even though there was freezing rain the whole time, I exercised alot inside, including a crazy-thorough house-cleaning. All three floors are now decorated inside and out. as well. I killed a mouse. I did it in a not-bloody way. I will probably have nightmares tonight. Mostly centered around the guilt. I’ve been doing...

All You People Running Marathons.... GRRRRRRRRRRRR
No seriously. You are all making me sick, of MYSELF. I feel like, under all this fat, I have a body that was MADE TO RUN. I know that you don’t HAVE to have long legs to be a good runner, but my 37” inseam might just give me an edge. I know my legs are extremely strong, my max weight on the leg press was once up to 750 lbs. One of the best feelings, ok I’m not gonna lie, the...

Because I Say So (by Jen Gray)
something I found that I wanted to share with you lovely people… you are not too old. you are not out of original thoughts and ideas. you are not washed up. possibilities and dreams and ideas are always being created inside of you ~ whether you feel it or not. you have not reached the max, the limit….thousands of years have passed and there are still new orchids being born,...

Caffeine aside- what else could be sabotaging my...
(in other words- what else can I blame besides myself?) I want energy like THAT! I want it HARD. I’ll even wear PINK i don’t care, just gimme it. But I want it to come from ME. Not my coffee, not a pill, not a shot or 10 of espresso. I want it to be my own. If I am going to go through all the trouble of whipping myself into shape, then I want to do a thorough job. Yesterday I...

Trying a different approach.
Did you know that a tablespoon of honey is one of the best ways to help fuel you up for a workout? Crazy, right? It’s amazing to find different ways of getting energy. Yet I’m stumped. I keep starting the same goals over and over and over and over. Cope with stress better. Sleep 8 hours a night. Run 10 miles a week. Strength train every time I’m bored. Blah. Blah. Blah. What...

FFS today, end already!
$%#@&! of all the $%#@& to S%#@&! (random noises) Damn. What’s your damage. I hate today. I wasn’t actually asking. I was making a statement. I don’t care. Ok maybe I do, but only for selfish reasons. You are hungry. Feed us. And for once I’m not actually just trying to get you to stuff your face with mint oreos and watch Tabatha’s...

BLAHg
I did do my run but I did it very slowly. I wasn’t going for any kind of speed or happiness today- I can admit I did it because I was DONE with excuses this evening. When I got home from work (lol I almost said school- what am I? 16?) I had a new spiral bound runner’s log from Runner’s World waiting for me on the coffee table. Yeah, sure, like I could put my feet up on THAT and...
