7 mile run, started great, 62 & sunny then boom, drizzle, then pouring THEN Tornado sirens started going off, but kept running, wanted to be able to enjoy a glass of wine guilt free...LOL!!! Not a fan of running in pouring rain, felt like a wet dog and im sure looked like one too.:o)

Did Kenpo X, loved it!! so much more fun when Im better at it! LOL!! Not the most coordinated person so in the past I had to stop and pause until I was able to get some of the sequences down...LOL!!!! That's why I love running, ya just put one foot in front of the other for a long time....=)

Went to bed sick last night, woke up sick, juiced greens all day, was dying to work out but 'made' myself chill out, won't lose any benefits from missing a day, I am soooo in workout mode and loving it I hate to miss!!! Though trying HARD to Honor my body....LOVE.LOVE.LOVE thyself!

Following the program so did a dvd I have not done in 3 weeks, AMAZED at how much stronger I was, this thing really works! That was a very pleasant surprise to my day.Big :o)!!

Ran for 2 hrs. and 20 mins. LOVED EVERY MINUTE!!, sun was shining, people were waving, swear ~ people in St.Loius are SO dang nice! =) Oh, also stopped to pet the most adorable St.Bernard and it's Pup! What a Great day!!! Can't believe how much I love running!!

Rest day- and soo enjoyed every minute, yet I still missed working out, just really love to start my day moving, Long run tomm. terribly excited about it!! Need to run off some of those Christmas treats =)

Between all the festivites I managed to get a 4mile run in on Christmas, sure helped to keep me balanced the rest of the day ~ a perfect Christmas day run ~ such a simple but beautiful blessing~

Never thought I would be SO EXCITED to go to the gym, had a blast, ran intervals on the treadmill for 20 mins. then intervals on the elliptical for 45!! LOVED every minute. Guess I really need to keep changing it up!! What a difference....can't wait to go back!

Had a great weight training w/out, only negative, had carparl tunnel for 3 yrs. so my wrists are weak/painful so can make pull ups and push ups very challenging. Think I am going to buy some bands instead, the pain is not worth it and leaves my feeling discouraged when I can lift as much. No room for discouragement at this point. Love how empowered I feel after lifitng, such a great high! :o)

My what a good nights sleep can do! Feel much better, GREAT w/out, plyometrics, my current fave. Food is great. Finally noticing my clothes getting looser and energy really increasing. Felt really "off" for a while there, it's all about the food and keeping it clean. Nice to feel totally back on track, mentally,emotionally and physically. Such a blessing ~

Didn't sleep at all!!! Woke up with blaring headache and nauseated all day, tried to w/out my body was not having it. I finally gave in and stopped! Duh! looking forward to sleeping and tomorrows w/out.:o)

Great am w/out- weights then pm w/out - ran 3 miles pushing 40pds of a little one- "huge challenge let me tell you!!! LOL!", I was literally 'grunting' up the hills....LOL!!!! :o) But we made it, she was sacked out 1/2 way- so sweet!!

Wonderful day of rest- aahhhh!! lovely!! Rejuvenated! from running! Sure pays off when you do something you truly LOVE!

Ran for 1:45, half the distance but really tried to pick-up the pace ~ I "tried" LOL!!, but was really hard! had Fun though.:o)

Ran for 2 hours and 22 minutes, all hills, sincerely wanted to die!!! Total head game. Was determined to run the route then turn around and head back - didn't think I was going to make it!! Also, did not have enough fuel in my body- had no intention of running for soooo long - just was so enjoying being outside and RUNNING!! Loved it!

BIG Decision - Work out @ 6 or get 10 hrs.of zzzzzz's ??? Clearly I chose the latter and have FELT amazing, nothing like a great night's sleep!! Though missed my morning endorphin kick, forsure!! I just feel better when I begin the day moving my body. Going to attempt a run tomm., they have a lot of black ice here, though I NEED to get outside and run some miles!! cabin fever..

Super work out, then cardio after, then Ab Rippper - I was whipped after. Great food, no sugar..Great!!!

Great W/out!!! still craving a run, BAD, but people in MO don't seem to use salt on the sidewalks, LOL! so afraid of a wipe-out, the set back would kill me!! They don't get much snow here usually so I can't blame um'.

worked out..so not into it,wasn't the best w/out but I did it ~much more excited about plyometrics tomm. feeling depressed and discouraged, all part of this journey, trying to roll with it!! trying to identify why I want eat at night, foods that I know are absolutely horrible for me and my body. Well, 2nd thought, I never had ANY unhealthy food in my house, here there is, suppose outta sight outta mind really workd for me. Trying to be conscious and aware, only way that I will work thru my issues!! That's my goal right now. :o)

2 days, no w/out, just wasn't up for it, BLAH!! back at it Mon. at 6am. FORSURE!!

Took today as a rest day ~ frankly, didn't feel like doing anything - just so sad about Oliver passing, will stop feeling sorry for myself tomm....then back at it!!

Rough day, my 10 mon. old kitten died today of feline lukemia, took him in bcause he was just not himself, the vet said he would not survive the night... shocked and heart broken i was insanely craving comfort food but did not want to blow my eatting, I "allowed" myself a couple of my fave CChip cookies (then gave to the neighbors) and that was that! Great am w/out, life happens, just trying to roll with the punches as opposed to against them. Usually would have eatten comfort food all night, so I am happy for loving myself thru the pain - instead of literally eatting my way thru.

A lean, mean bean pole- that's what I should be after and 1 hour and a 1/2 of intense yoga ~ unfortunately not so much....lol!! Think I may need to increase my food, something is off, so physcially depeleted...need to investigate that asap! Have been unable to run this entire week but starting this weekend my sched. changes, can barely wait..... I SOoo need to run!!!

2 w/outs today. eating clean & feeling better.

Did plyometrics for 1st time, holy cow!! Difficult!!!!!!! Hard on my joints but can only get better the lighter I get :o))) What a challenge!!!...plugging along, doing the "one day at a time thing" - would who have thunk!...lol!

2 w/outs today, feel a bit better. looking inward frankly blows ~ but gotta do the work to get the results right?

My MIND must Prevail or I simply will NOT!! Hitting my "issuses" of not "deserving" to be thin, happy & healthy! Between the crying and reading Woman, Food and God I am praying for continued patience while I release excess emotional baggage AKA = Fat. THIS IS BLOODY HARD right now!!!!! DANG!!!!

With week '4' comes "2" 'stretch' days! Thank you God!! Although I secretly missed w'ing/out...:o) LOL!!

Me Woman, hear me ROAR!! LOL!! :o) Super w/out! KenpoX- Lots of kicks & punches - feel so empowered when I do that video! LOL!!!! :o)
