{Black Friday Chronicles} Part III

Sometimes life hands you lessons when you’re least expecting them.  At the mall.  No joke. I headed out to the mall on actual Black Friday afternoon and not a shocker I had to park a million miles away.  Well not a million miles but at least a quarter of a mile away.  I’ve never been […]

Picture Evidence: November 2012

I did it, I hired a trainer!  I’ve been fighting it for quite some time, largely because I couldn’t afford it.  But as I said to my trainer when I met with him, “I can’t afford you but I can’t afford to not have you any more.”  So I’ve done some budgeting, re-budgeting and then […]

{Thanksgiving} Day Workout

I don’t sleep well, it’s a problem I’ve had for years.  So when I can sleep in a little longer, like on my on my days off, I take advantage and don’t like to make morning plans. However, today I decided to wake up early (at 6:30 AM) on Thanksgiving Day no less to work […]

{Boot Camp} Aftermath

It hurts to sit.  It hurts to walk. Hell, it hurts to laugh. No, I didn’t have a freak accident – – I just went to boot camp two days in a row.  As I shared, I’m serious about trying to change my lifestyle and that involves working out more.  I finally found a boot […]

AM Workout – – Worth It or Not?

As I discussed previously, I’m working hard to be ready for my friends wedding, which is early summer (read here).  I’ve broken down and decided that if I have any kind of shot at getting ready I’m going to have to get a trainer.  I’m not thrilled about the extra cost, but then again I’m […]

{My Tech Arsonal} Runkeeper App Review

As promised, here is the first of a few [tech tools] that I’m using on my journey to ONEderland. I recently switched from an Android phone to the new iPhone 5.  I’m an Apple girl and knew that if I wanted to I could streamline all areas of my life, including my workouts, if I […]

When Life Hands You Lemons….

I know its been a while, but I’m baaaaack as summer kicks off!  This past week I had a lot of ups and downs again at the office and in my personal life but the difference between my life a few weeks ago and this week was that I had complete control over what I […]

Blazing New Walking Trails

Since I’m going to be doing the Disney Half Marathon in January 2011, I decided that I should break up my gym workouts and do a little training outside, maybe one or two days a week.  Since I didn’t have my car this weekend and couldn’t go to the gym, a story for another day, […]

Couch to 5k – Week 1 Day 1

So last week, my friend Slinderella ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  There is something about race day that makes your mind do weird things, so in my excitement I committed to running in the Disney Half Marathon in January 2011.  Of course it wasn’t until after I said it that I realized I need […]

Marathon Training

I did it before I could stop myself.  I committed to running marathons.  Sigh…what was I thinking!  If you’ve ever been to a race before you know that watching other people cross the finish line is incredibly motivating, so much so that I lost my senses and decided to sign up for two!   I […]
