Fitness goals, on a For Realsies note

So, I've been on and off working out in my post partum efforts of getting back in pre-pregnancy shape. I guess I can say, at least I wasn't completely stagnant but that's not enough. I'm trying to look in all directions for motivation and support. Poor Cowboy tries but I get too defensive w/him because my insecurities creep in and I start thinking he's judging me, which of course he's not but tell my mind that. So, we're pooling up our motivation and energy w/the Girls and going to hold each other accountable. So far, it's 6 of us who are in it to win it. We're logging into MyFitnessPal.com to log daily calorie consumption, workouts, goals, progress, etc... It's a solid way of having accountability when we all see each other's notes. There's talk of putting $$ into a pool to up the anty and maybe even a group shopping trip to get some fun saucy threads to celebrate our progress. It's getting interesting.

I have got to get into my wardrobe and feel good about it. Honestly, if I'm just being consistent and starting to build up strength again, that's what will do the trick for me. If I know that I'm really doing it, I'll be happy with my discipline and feel proud of myself again.

I've got the Cherry Blossom 10 miler on April 7th. 10 miles. I have got to get my ass in gear. I haven't run more than 3-4 miles in over a year so this is going to be a challenge. I haven't trained properly so this should be a good reality smack down. Hopefully I can get a half marathon in this year as well. I'm going to just have to up the goals with each milestone and plow forward.

Here's my motivator. Cabos 2007:

Onward!

Rules for a Break Up. They're out there, which actually apply?

Image
So, which rules apply to which situations? I mean, all break ups are different, well, most breakups are different. Ok, some break ups are different. There are different circumstances as to why the couple (or one of the involved) would decide to end their relationship. It could be an amicable end of a relationship (wishful thinking usually) or one where there's a lot of finger pointing and animosity brewing under the surface. I personally, go back and forth between wishing him well in his future endeavours and wishing him and his family a cursed existence. It varies from day to day, heck, even minute to minute. Sometimes, I just need to get a meal in me to regulate my blood sugar and I'm instantly more pleasant in talking about this topic. Let me just say (as if you can stop me, right?) that this blog post was a very fun one to research. It's hilarious what anyone can post on the internet and suddenly, they're a 'source'. heh. Ok, so all that being said. There...

Does blogging work like the government holiday schedule?

Image
Ok, I have no place to say but it seems like all bloggers are already on vacation. Is everyone that blogs really a government employee? I gots nothing showing on my Bloglines for the most part ('cept for Gibson, way to set an example... Oh, and Harms, you're not too much of a slacker either but you've been a busy bee, right?) and it's making me feel like maybe I shouldn't be at work either. Maybe we should all checkout and come back after New Years? It'd be ideal, except I don't work for the government and do have to worry that if there's no work, then there's no pay. No pay = Sad/hungry/cold Clussy. Wanted a change, so I cut the head hairs. I actually walked into Hair Cuttery (I know, I'm brave... or poor, whichever you want to go with), pointed to my hair and said "cut please. make it fun. not scurred to lose some length.". At that point, the overzealous Vietnamese lady went to town. I was good w/it at first but then she kept ...

The following are excerpts from the give blood website I was checking out today (in hopes of getting info to give blood at lunch) " Donating Blood ONLINE APPOINTMENT Schedule an appointment to donate whole blood. - Why the need to specify whole blood? No half blood, no partial blood. Noted. Do not donate if any of the following apply to you: SEXUAL HISTORY * You have engaged in sex for money or drugs since 1977. - Hmmm, good thing I held off on the Bordello idea... QUESTIONS ABOUT ELIGIBILITY You may need to wait before donating blood if you have any of these conditions: CONDITION Alcohol Consumption No wait unless intoxicated - HA! I love that they felt the need to mention this. Don't come to give blood while drunk. Noted. DONATION PROCESS * Prospective donors first complete a health history questionnaire and screening interview. * The next step involves a brief physical examination of blood pressure, pulse, temperature and a test for anemia. * If the prescribed medical r...
