September Last week I was finally able to run 20 minutes straight at 6.0mph. It has taken about 4 and half years to achieve it. Not bad given I couldn’t even run one minute back then. I felt that extra three minutes later on in the day and took a nap. I haven’t had a [...]

Day 10: I reached my goal weight of 145 today. I’m so excited. I can’t wait to go to the gym tomorrow. My focus now will be on toning and reaching my fitness goals. With the pushups, my arms are looking really nice. I had the beginnings of cellulite on my triceps when I began [...]

Day 5: A friend told me that I inspired her to try the 100 pushups challenge. Well, she inspired me to try it again. I only made it to Week 2 last time with a max of 16. Today I started with Week 1, Day 1 for a total of 51 pushups. I spent the [...]

Day 4: I weighed myself this morning and found that I weighed 147 pounds. I only have 2 pounds left to lose in order to reach my goal. Here’s a photo of me (taken today) feeling pretty good about myself. We hiked over 4 miles today. I forgot to mention that I made some diet [...]

I’ve had a busy year so far. I’m plugging away at my goals and increasing my self-discipline. And I’m finally making the time to get back to blogging on a regular basis. So like I’ve said before, I’ve been tracking my exercise on excel and my stats for 2009 are: Treadmill Miles: 304.3 Pounds Lost: [...]

I’ve been sticking to the 1800 calories for the most part and I’m averaging 13 miles per week on the treadmill. I’ve been doing Pilates and weights a couple of times per week. Because I’ve been keeping track of my workouts and weight on excel, I can see what has helped me lose the most. [...]

I have run 122.46 miles since January 30, 2009. I feel very accomplished. I’ve added free weights and Pilates to my workout schedule. Right now I’m using 2.5 pound weights. Basically I’m following these workouts from exercise tv Monday – Friday: Dynamic Sculpt and Stretch (upper body)- 11:00 minutes 20 Minute Upper Body- 20:00 minutes [...]

My 30 day challenge of not hitting the snooze button went well. I think I only hit it once the first week of the challenge. I’ve made a lot of improvements in my running. I’ve even lost 7 pounds. Right now my schedule is 62 minutes on Saturday and Sunday and 42 minutes during the [...]

My pressing the snooze button totally messed up this challenge. I’ve been getting up late and not going to the gym for about two weeks. There were quite a few times when I didn’t even realize I had turned the alarm off. So I’ll have to start a new challenge. It begins tomorrow. It will [...]

I need to modify my 30 day challenge. I need to wake up at 7:00 am instead of 5:00 am on Saturdays and Sundays. I like to hang out on the weekends and whatnot. I’d like the liberty to keep late hours on Friday and Saturday nights without having to survive on 4 hours of [...]
