Always evolving, Never Average
I had a little reality check last night. If you’ve been around here for a long time, you may remember back to when I joined a weight loss challenge/competition-type thing at the gym. I was the heaviest I’d ever been, I was done having kids, I felt like doodoo, and I was ready to make …Read More
So four really awesome things happened last week… First Awesome Thing That Happened: The day after Lose to Win was over, I wrote a letter every spin instructor, trainer, and staff member at the Y and personally hand delivered them. Some of the people weren’t there when I delivered them, so I left the remaining …Read More
2 years ago, after countless middle-of-the-night baby feedings and watching a million infomercials, I finally did it. I bought P90X. I also bought some of the supplement powder crap that they suggest you buy. And some of the ridiculously expensive protein bars. I did the pre-program fitness tests. You know, so I could do them …Read More
So a couple people asked how I finally ended up doing in Lose to Win. I should be focusing on how well I did. But I haven’t been. I’ve spent the last 2 days stewing. Because I didn’t win the cardio minutes. 12 weeks of busting my ass to stay on top. 12 weeks of …Read More
Last night I went out with some friends to celebrate the completion of Lose to Win. It was the first time I had gone out since my night out in NYC in the beginning of March. I literally had not put on any clothes other than workout clothes or pajamas since then. So yesterday afternoon …Read More
Eleven weeks down. One to go. After attending 4 bazillion fitness and spin classes, and careful scientific observation, I have determined that about half of the participants are normal. The other half are annoying, and they fall into one of the following categories: The Overachiever: This person has to try and outdo the instructor. At …Read More
Last week I saw a mom I know (but not very well) at the Y. I hadn’t seen her since one of the last little league games in October. I smiled and said hi. She did one of those “why is this person saying hi to me half smiles” and kept walking. Bitch, I thought …Read More
Last week I was on the bike at the Y. My ipod was cranked as loud as it could go, so I was pretty oblivious to everything around me. There was a seriously old guy on the bike next to me. He tapped my shoulder, and I took out my headphones. I thought he was …Read More
I’ve never really been a girls’ girl. I don’t love to talk on the phone. Or shop. Or do any other “girlie” stuff. Put me in a room full of dudes, and I feel totally comfortable. And confident. Guys aren’t catty. They’re laid back. And funny. Unlike girls. Put me in a room full of …Read More
I put in more time working out this week than any other week. Over 1200 minutes of cardio. That doesn’t include the 4 strength training classes. And you know what? I didn’t lose one single pound. I’m exhausted. I am 3/4 of the way through Lose to Win. 8 weeks down, 4 to go. Clearly …Read More
