20-MAS
I slept in almost 2 hours this morning and had to really kick my own ass to get on the treadmill. Honestly, the one thing that got me on there was making the statement here about not missing a day, and then angela patting me on the back for it. (THANK YOU ANGELA!!!) It's so dumb that the second I'm proud of myself, I attempt to ruin it with just being lazy. So, good for me and tomorrw is UBWO

thanks angela and linda. the encouragement i get here really keeps me going.

UBWO

finally did it. Made Melissa come out to the garage with me and keep me company. She really had a good time and got an otter pop, too.

It took me over an hour because I kept doing little things in between exercises. It made me feel more productive givin the late wake up.
Arms are a bit jelloish right now...

20-mas did not hit 10's in speed, but did in incline. Wow! My ass is trembeling this morning.

got out there at 6 a.m. this morning, and feeling very proud of that fact. Rick kinda challenged me last night by saying that I was crazy for getting up that early anyway. I'm always up to prove someone wrong about me!
He's so good at motivating me

UBWO.

Had to make it a fast one this morning even though I started at 5: 50 a.m. in between calf sets I snuck in some crunches. Still took 40 min!
Jamie and Sophie off to school at 7:55, gotta clean up breakfast, go work in class, early out today, yada, yada, yada!!!

oh, really hit some 10's today. I love it when that happens

20-MAS must have been fine, I can't even remember it!!
day 7~day off!

Week 7 already!
did UBWO this morning and did not dislike it as much as usual. Maybe because I can do it a bit later and not feel so rushed. With school out, the girls don't have to get back here so early, so I don't have to leave the house until 7:30, which makes my workouts more leisurely.
Trying to work on form a bit more than pounds and it's fun!

Bren, do you have a mirror in your 'workout room'? I used to just hate using it - course I hated what I looked like period. But now, I must admit, it's not just for watching my form - it's for watching the muscles too

20-MAS

did not get out there until after 10!! i'm going to have to figure out working out with the girls here.


Hey nat! i wish i had a mirror out there. right now we are working out in the garage, which, to my totally embarassment, is still pretty full of boxes. ii know what you mean, though, they had mirrors at the gym i used where we lived before.!

Brenda,
Is that picture at the top of this page you running?
If it is, then youzza!! You have lots to be proud of.


I love reading your progress. You're hanging tough and making it work dispite having to make adjustments for family and life.

Sophie woke up early and so she kept me company. That was great. We rarely have "alone time". Work out was great, had some 10's and even a few failures. Love it when that happens.

Angela~ Yes, that is me! Hard for me to believe, but it is.
If I were to tell you how much your post really means to me, ya'd think I was a lonley housewife with no positive reinforcements around, so I'll just say THANKS!!

Did not have the energy to run this morning. I still have the treadmill on an incline, so I know it's a bit harder than normal, but did not have the speed I usually do.

Bren, are you getting enough sleep? I know you're feeling 'off' and not eating enough - add to that (maybe?) not sleeping enough and you've got a sure fire recipe for that 'blah' feeling.

Getting worried here!

did not get out of bed till 9, then straight to the 'puter. the girls and i are all a bit burned out from running around all over town then working in sophie's room and having friends over till 9:30. I did not get into bed till 11, and fell asleep at 11:01.!

Nat, I think what my problem regarding sleep lately (you are so insightful) is that i am having horrible nightmares, waking up all freaked out, and not being able to get back to sleep again. i think you are right that the sleep thing is affecting my off feeling. i have so many thoughts about what the issues are, but feeling like discussing them is promoting a pity party. this is so not like me, too, which really freaks me out. i'm the first one to feel sorry for myself and wanting everyone to join in! I guess in a nut shell, I'm not very good at the superficial, and as of late, that is the extent of my life. wish me luck in exploring this fate because i know i will rise bigger, better, stonger, faster.......(and a bit more humble ), bless you for caring so much about so many.
regards,
bren



p.s. oh yea....i'm gonna go do an UBWO now!

20-MAS

Went well. UBWO yesterday went well, also. Sophie kept me company and it was nice. She is growing up so fast!

Here's to a day off tomorrow!
Regards,
Brenda

Hey girl!!!!

I hope the "blah" feeling is leaving soon!!! That's no fun but we all get like that sometimes. And if you want to talk to us about it, we're here!!

Hang in there Brenda!
Linda
