17.6 minute/mile


July 19, 2009 (from old site)

OK SO I DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH TIME TO WORK OUT TODAY B/C THE CHILDCARE IS CLOSED AT MY GYM ON SUNDAYS' BUT I GOT MY MOM TO WATCH MY BOYS, SHE JUST COULDN'T DO IT FOR VERY LONG. SO I GOT IN 30 MINUTES ON THE TREADMILL AND 15 ON THE WEIGHT MACHINES. I'M EXCITED THOUGH, IN 30 MINS I DID 1.7 MILES WHICH MAKES IT A 17.6 MINUTE/MILE. WOOO! SO I MET THAT GOAL AS WELL. I ONLY HAD TIME TO DO 2 STINTS IN JOGGING, FOR 1/4 MILE. GOOD WORK OUT THOUGH, I JUST EXPECT MORE OF MYSELF TO TRAIN FOR THE 5K. GOOD PROGRESS THOUGH. I'M SOTE STILL BUT FEEL SLIGHTLY BETTER. MYL EGS ARE PROBABLY HATING ME. I DID THE THIGH MACHINE AGAIN AND IT FELT LIKE MY CROTCH WAS GOING TO RIP APART, HAHA! TMI I GUESS! ANYWAY, IT WAS GOOD. I ALSO GOT A CHANCE TO TRY OUT THE BACK EXTENSION MACHINE AND THE LEG PRESS, AWESOME!!! I DID 130 LBS ON THE LEG PRESS, GOOD START! I MADE A LITTLE SCHEUDLE FO RMYSELF B/C CURRENTLY I'M STILL WORKING 9-530 THRU THE WK SO I'M PLANNING ON SQUEEZING IN A WORKOUT WED AFTERNOON, NEXT SAT, AND THEN 2 OTHER WEEK DAYS. BUT THOSE WEEKDAYS DEPEND ON IF MY MOM OR MY BABYSITTER WILL WATCH THE BOYS. I'D PREFER MY MOM TO SAVE ME MONEY BUT WE'VE BEEN AT HER HOUSE NONSTOP LATELY SO I DUNNO. SHE SAID TONIGHT SHE NEEDS A 2-3 DAY BREAK FROM US. SO MAYBE BABYSITTER W/ THE BOYS MON NIGHT AND MOM WATCH 'EM FRI NIGHT SO IC AN DO A WORK OUT. WE'LL SEE. SHE IS A BUSY, TIRED LADY BUT SUPER SUPPORTIVE OF ME KICKING IT INTO HIGH GEAR. DEPENDING ON WHEN MY NEXT WO IS, I MIGHT TRY FOR 17.3 MIN/MILE!
XOXO,
LIZ

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
