40 Day Challenge - Day 5 - AKA She Did a Bad Bad Thing

What Day 5? Let us just pretend that Day 5 didn’t happen. If I didn’t believe that lying on my blog was somehow equivalent to trying to lie to myself, I would try to just skim right over today’s report. But I do believe in accountability and honesty on here. There is no point in [...]

40 Challenge - Day 4

Alright with food and water today, crap with just about everything else. I’m super far behind in my walking to work and getting behind in my kettlebell sessions. I need to plan things more carefully. That said, I think that I’m just going to go for making them up. I have lots of days left [...]

40 Day Challenge - Day 3

Decent day. Pretty uneventful in terms of the challenge. I didn’t walk, yet again so I’m really falling behind in my walking mileage and will obviously need to do some making up in that territory. I did so a push up work out and my Week 6 Run 2 of C25K. I also had a [...]

C25K - Week 6 Run 2

Another run down. This one was a landmark. Tonight I ran with walking intervals mixed in for the last time. From here on in, the rest of the runs will be completed as non-stop runs. Having done the 20 minute run of last weekend, I know I should be capable of it but I also [...]

40 Day Challenge - Day 3

Pretty crap day today. TOM arrived and I’m curled in a lazy boy with a hot water bottle in my lap at this very moment. T’was a painful day. I wimped out of walking even though I know that the walking would likely have helped the cramps I wasn’t sure I would be able to [...]

40 Day Challenge - Day 2

Another day down in my 40 day challenge. My arms are really sore today from those push ups yesterday. I didn’t walk to work again to day so I’ve got lots of walking to get in before the end of the week. I did do a kettlebell session though and even though it was sort [...]

Ouch

Well it has clearly been too long since I last did anything resembling a push up. I am definitely feeling those few sets I did yesterday. Nothing hurts in a bad way just that sort of satisfying DOMS feeling.

Just shy on the water. My lower back is really quite sore tonight. I’m wondering if it could be the planks I did. They were quite hard on me so I’ll need to [...]

C25D - Week 6 Run 1

As always, I’ve hit a new week and find it really hard to believe I’ve made it this far.
Today’s run was tough. I’m sort of cranky and I think it is PMS is playing havoc with me. I’m craving food and feeling weak… what a shitty combination. Besides the ordinary physical struggle a bunch of [...]

So Far So Good

I’ve been tracking my food. I did my first little bitty push up work out and I’m going to head out for my run in about and hour or so. Didn’t walk to work today because I decided to work from home. I think I will tomorrow since the weather is supposed to be good.
All [...]
