give me some credit, will ya?

12 uphill sprints.  1.5 mi.  20 min.
So, I wonder why the Nike+ graphs it like it does?  (See sidebar)  And it gives my fastest sprint as a 7 minute mile when its little voice told me in my ear that I ran a 5 minute mile.  That's darn fast for an old woman, and I want credit!!  AND...let it be known that it was up a good hill!
Abwork will happen tonight, right Sara?  Sara?

ok, well, it seems that Nike+ is having some technical difficulties with allowing me to grab the code and post my run on the sidebar, so the link is here, I hope.

Hey way to go fast momma! thats awesome! .
I loved how i could see your run from the link.. thats fun!

nike plus does have issues every now and then.. i figured out the "post every 5 runs" cut and paste works better. :) and it updates it automatically when you log a run in ..

great job!
i am off to post..
not camping tonight..
see the post :)

Hey Josha, I was able to get to your link. You had a great uphill run! Way to go, girl!

Is your goal with Ruthie for 15 miles a week?

It's just for 15 miles cumulative to see how the nike+ challenge works. We wanted to create a short challenge to see how it works. Any grand ideas for a more challenging challenge?

More Than One Way

Knowing that the initial weight loss starts out with loss of water weight, I set a goal for the first week, to lose 5 pounds. I lost 6.6 pounds. Yay! Weight isn't everything, but this week, I have gained a pound, which is discouraging for sure. So- I measured instead, and I've lost an inch in my waist. Plus, I wore my belt a notch smaller this week. There is more than one way to measure success! A goal for this second week has been to eat more of the good, healthy fats. I think that my downfall is a repeated one from the past. I don't eat enough to support my activity. My adrenals kick in and I lose ground. I haven't accomplished my dietary goal, so I will re-focus!

Head in the Game

The challenge of keeping my head in the game is REAL! It seems lately, that with every attempt to re-gain my health, I get injured. I'm unable to go to fitness classes or runs right now, so I got excited about jumprope, thinking my foot (broken about 2 YEARS AGO) could take it. I was wrong. Now, I have almost constant pain in my foot/ankle/leg. I am back to 'only' yoga, which I love, but can I lose the weight and gain the strength with yoga alone? I think I can! So now, as I search for medical answers about my foot, I am excited again about yoga. So, here are my 5 Ways to Keep Your Head In The Game: Nix Negativity. Speak only to yourself and into the universe, what brings peace. (thanks, Ruthie) Review your goals. Keep pictures at the ready that represent your aspirations. Go to sleep with the vision of yourself having achieved your goals firmly in your mind. Cut yourself some slack.  Practice makes practice, not perfection. Get a friend in on the journey w...

Old and New

I'm so grateful that I kept this blog as I lost weight and gained strength the first time. Looking back through old posts, I am reminded to be patient and to persevere. I am reminded of my personal inner strength and of the ability to start over every day, as needed. I had gained 70 pounds in the course of the years of trying desperately to teach my autistic son. I poured myself into him and my other 2 homeschooled children. The story of this blog goes that I awakened to the realization that I had to re-learn how to care for myself, and these chapters describe the successful journey of losing 70 pounds and gaining confidence and strength. It's a wonderful story. I loved it as I lived it, and I managed to keep the weight off for 10 years as my children grew up and graduated my tutorship. Many factors slipped in to define the recent few magical years in which my autistic son became able to communicate and I devoted my all to him and to teaching others like him... and re-gained ...
