Awesome 3 1/2 hour snowshoe hike yesterday. I have bruises today from some of the climbing & crawling we had to do, as there was a lot of downed trees.1

I am in!! Im a 40yo single mom of a 17yo... long story short I have battled emotional problems my whole life & after having my son, sitting dwn at an office job & a jolty rollercoaster/twilight zone of my 30's, plus 2 serious back injuries ... Im finally putting ME first & truly committing to my health - not just a fad for my friends. Im starting w my diet & will add physical activity in a lil while... gotta get my wild food/diet ironed out first & make myself do my physical therapy (for my back) so I can really start shredding the calories like I used to when I was younger. Any & all motivation is greatly appreciated!!! I could use all the help I can get2

Had to skip my workout this morning, as I have pulled a muscle in my calf and can barely walk
but will make it up later in the week, and am resolved to keep the eating on track for the next couple of days. Friday is Australia day, so expect I'll be eating and drinking more than normal then - but shouldn't be too bad as long as I keep it in check until then!! 0 -
okay, this is crunch week....I have been on-plan for exercise, in an excellent way, all month. And, my calorie-cut is going well - but I really want to pour it on this week (fancy ball on Saturday and it always feels great to be 'down a few pounds' when putting on a ball gown!!).

It's a light workout week...It's wedding week! Finally! We head to St. Augustine today for the ceremony tomorrow and then the reception is back here in St. Pete (technically Gulfport) on Monday. I'm excited but also ready to be done,lol!
I have to say that when the kids all reached 18, it was pretty cool to realize we managed to keep them alive that long. But now that our daughter is getting married, we realized that we actually made her acceptable to another human being....parenting win!

Packed up my gear last night and got to the pool bright and early this morning. Glad to be back in the water. I always prefer lake swimming, but this’ll do.
AND I think I’ve finally sorted out how to efficiently do the locker room shuffle at the gym — wore convenient clothes to get off and back on while slightly damp, had a mesh bag for shower supplies, remembered my flip-flops, etc. Very pleased with myself.4 -
Happy Tuesday! Taking a break from the gym today (did myself in yesterday- asleep at 9pm like a baby)
Healthy eating on track!1 -
A storm was brewing when I got off work, but I managed a 5km run anyway. It was windy with blowing snow, so it was a bit slower. At least it was something.
@alteredstates175 - a trail along the north shore of Lake Superior in northern Ontario. Gorgeous eh?!

Yes. Beautiful area. Thank you.
One of the reasons I like hiking for exercise is the scenery and the fresh air. Much more pleasant than the treadmill or other gym machines for cardio. Adds to the enjoyment of life!

Great feeling, isn't it!
I have three children. A few weeks ago, out of the blue, my wife says to me "You know, those kids turned out alright." We discussed the fact that they are productive members of society. They go to work every day and stay out of trouble. Compared to what some of my friends are dealing with, we are blessed. Or lucky. Or some of each.
Now to get that youngest one out of my house! HAHA! 2 -
"Body Beast:Total Body"=Done!1

Loving the new torture device in the basement (Treadmill). I like to run outside rain, shine, or snow, but yesterday was nothing but slick ice. Still able to pull a 2-a-day and ran 2 5k sessions. Some light resistance and calisthenics and a drop of 4 lbs so far on this cut.
Slay dragons everyone.3 -

I completely change up my workout. Not that this has anything to do with fat loss, but it's a good change up for the mind.
Having focused primarily on compound lifts I did a week of low weight high reps on cables and hitting shoulders from every angle.
Also your rate of fat loss will diminish the closer you get to optimum, so expect a .5 lb/week rate during those last 10-20 lbs.1 -
Ran at lunchtime. 3 cold, windy miles.4

Good session with my trainer this morning. Total body with heavy core work: mountain climbers on sliding pads, ab rollouts, resistance band walk, Turkish Get Ups, TRX pulls, etc.
Looking forward to an easy swim tonight.0 -
Well folks, this cold has me down for the count. I have to MC our clinic's women's health gala tonight. Spent the last 2 evenings working on the desserts. Tonight is the gala. The weather is gorgeous - perfect for outside runs, but I am sick.
This cold has my entire body aching and my nose constantly streaming. Hope it doesn't last long. 0 -

Went a little over in my calories yesterday, but it was Australia Day, so to be expected still got my workout in (P90X legs and back) and posted a photo of it to my Facebook support group and TONY HORTON liked it! Totally star struck 3
