Day 2 and 3

Aloha, my friends!  So far so good. The past 2 days I've managed to do 3 workouts.  Tomorrow will be a lighter day because that pesky thing called work is getting in the way...followed by back to school night. I'm going to try to do the stairs in the parking ticket garage at work...17 stories!

So day 2 was a beach day which means some open water swimming. I don't do laps but chasing after a fearless 5 year old can be a workout! No picture for that one though, I forgot my water proof thingie for my phone.

Day 3 (today) I did my interval run followed by the dreaded core workout. I am still so frustrated with my endurance progress but my coach reminded me that it will take time and that I need to have patience.

I was joined in my core workout by my littlest one. She's probably my biggest cheerleader!

Here we are bridging.

And here I am attempting to side plank.

I feel so weak!

I know I promised goals, etc, but this post is from my phone and dinner is ready. I will tell you that my first post injury race is this weekend and I'm scared and excited all at once. More about that in my next post.

Peace!

Back Again

I started this blog a year and a half ago as an offshoot of my main blog, My Mommy Misadventures.  I actually did really well, losing a total of 27 pounds even after I stopped blogging.

Of course, life sometimes happens.  If you follow my other blog then you know that I had a few major changes take place.  That isn't meant to be an excuse or justification, just the way it goes sometimes.  I ended up gaining back all I lost and then some.  I got injured and was unable to run for almost 2 months.  I'm still not 100% (more like 60%) but I've been working pretty hard since I was cleared to work out again to get back to where I was last summer.

So here I am, post run tonight:

and here I am in all my glory in the pic I took for the diet bet I am participating in this month:

I don't look very happy, do I?

Probably because I'm not.  I'm disappointed in myself.  I'm also scared that I won't succeed, that it's too late.

So I am asking for your help.  If you see me slacking off CALL ME OUT ON IT!  Remind me how I have complained about not being able to do what I used to, how I don't fit into any of my clothes, how uncomfortable I am in my own body, and how unattractive I feel.  I don't think I can do this alone but I KNOW I can do it with your help.

I don't promise to post everyday, life just doesn't work that way anymore.  But I do promise to move everyday.  For the next 100 days.

I don't think it was a coincidence that the video that started it all happened to pop up on my Facebook feed this morning.  If you missed it, here it is:

This lady is so inspiring to me.  Check her out!
Anyway, if you made it this far then thank you!  Next post will be about my hopes, goals, and dreams for the next 100 days or so.

Peace!
