Hydration Packs
My husband and I are getting ready to start training for our second full marathon (tomorrow is our first long run of the 20 week program) and we're interested in getting some hydration packs to carry water with us on our training. Our city has very nice green-ways throughout it, but as the weather gets colder, we…

NSV: Triathlon!
I completed my first ever sprint triathlon yesterday! 1/4 mile swim, 12 mile bike, 3.1 mile run. I even beat my projected finish time by 19 minutes. Considering I broke my ankle in Feb. I'm thrilled! (Yes, I did have medical clearance to do the race.) The weather was horrible (near record low temps with rain), the second…

Lifting NSV
A little while ago I started New Rules of Lifting for Women and have been pushing myself to lift more and have stuck with 3x a week. Today I had two successes. 1. I managed to do two sets of 75lbs squats with good form. I know for a lot of folks, that's nothing, but for me, that's great. 2 I actually did, for the first…

Waistin' Away in Margaritaville Challenge!

NSV ... Kinda
So last night while dreaming, I was offered a candy bar for free (in my dream mind you) and I remember very distinctly telling the man no, thank you, because I'm trying to be healthier and not eat as much junk food. :laugh: Apparently my subconscious mind is finally on board with this lifestyle change! :bigsmile:

6/20 30 Day Shred
Alright, so after much convincing, my b/f has agreed to start Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred come Monday. We will be starting on level one, and my plan is to do 10 days at level one and move up from there. So who's with us? I've never actually done a JM workout before, so this will be a first. This will run from June 20-…

Goal Outfit?
So does anyone have a goal outfit in their closet already? Maybe its not a 'final weight' goal outfit, but one that you love that you want desperately to be able to wear again? Mine is a pair of jeans I wore in high school and a truly awesome American Eagle top I found for $6 but I can't wear yet. They are living in my…

Costco NSV
So I had to go shopping at Costco today and of course the best time for my schedule was around 11:15am... Right at the beginning of sample time! Now normally I would try one of everything they had out and if I really liked it I would go back for a second try but today? Today I did not eat a single sample from any of the…
