I'm ready to cry....
I am just ready to cry.... My back is SO sore!! :o ( And it's not my fault, it's not cos of all the running or the gym work that I've been doing, it's from all the crazy strength exercises we did in Taekwon-Do on Monday night. Ok, maybe the fact that I pushed myself so hard is partly my fault, but still I didn't choose to…

Treadmill Triumph!!
I know this is a small insignificant amount to a lot of you fitness fanatics and jogging enthusiasts but coming from someone with a serious fear of treadmills and running in general, this is big stuff... I ran non-stop for 30 minutes today. A total distance of 3.3 miles. NON-STOP! I didn't hit the emergency button, I…

I'm so impatient!!!!!!!
I just want results now!! :sad: I know a lot of people have been saying that "you didn't put the weight on overnight so don't expect it to come off as quickly" but in my case, I kind of did put the weight super fast.

Just to be polite...
I keep finding myself in situations where I need to eat what I'm given just so that I don't offend my host!! I've been trying to explain that I'm trying to "be good", that I'm trying to eat "low-fat/carb etc. etc." but they just put the plate of food in front of me and I feel so rude if I don't finish it! (damn that sense…

Blueberry Pudding-style Dessert
Ok, I'm not sure if Pudding is the right term because that's an American thing, over here in Ireland I would probably call this something closer to Cheesecake (the refrigerated kind, not the baked one..wow there are so many differences in our food!! :laugh: ) Anyway, my friend made this for me last night and it was so good…

Lean Mean FIghting Machine
I know I don't have a lot to lose, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who think I shouldn't be complaining about the body I have. I just want to be the best I can be. I've been doing Taekwon-Do for nearly 10 years, and I normally train about 5 nights a week, which helps keep me at a fit competition weight of about…
