I keep putting off posting because I have some pictures that I meant to post last Friday...you know, photo day.  But my camera is still packed in a bag in the jeep from our ski adventure.  So, hopefully tomorrow.  Skiing was so great, by the way!  Crested Butte is a great place to go especially on a weekday.  It is slow paced and not crowded at all.  We never had to wait in line at the lifts.  And you can go all the way to the top and ski greens and blues all the way down.  It has some really raunchy stuff, too, but I wouldn't know much about those runs!  Not for me.  
Yesterday, I lifted superset style.  Today, I'm sore.  But I ran my tempo run anyway.  On the treadmill because I was a wimp about the wind.  I'd never run a tempo run before.  I've done other kinds of speedwork, but not that.  So, I ran 15 minutes at a toughish pace for me and ran easy the rest.  I noticed on my nikeplus that it looks like I fluctuated from 11:50 or so to 12:09.  I was on the treadmill, so that either means that my nikeplus is more inaccurate than I thought or that I have a really sloppy gait.  I still need to log the run and look at it.

have you synced your plus? i have never taken the time to do that but my plus is close to waht my watch says.. i think next time you run you should time yourself with a watch.. and do some figuring when you are done.. it might be your plus is off..

of course.. its no big deal if it IS right and that IS your pace.. "no need for speed right?" :)

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

Image
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 ...
