In Search of My Body vol. 10 - taking it one paper towel at at time

[HockeyKat]

Boot camp continues to push me as much physically as it does mentally. And I absolutely love it. Last night we had 7 exercises that we ended up doing 55 reps of each in 30 minutes. What did we do for the other 30 minutes of boot camp? We had to run a lot. What am I now going to do with my lunch break today? Register for some half marathons. Brian is on board, he's going to do them with me. I figure if I'm getting in the best shape I've ever been in I might as well run some half marathons before the Tough Mudder in May.

Off to work. Have a great day everyone.

Come do one with me!! I am registered for both City of Oaks and OBX in November (6th and 13th). You and Brian are more than welcome in my guest room for the City of Oaks as it's in Raleigh, 15-20 min from my house. OBX, you would be on your own for lodging, though, it's more like 3 hours.

If they were in October or even later November I'd absolutely take you up on that offer but my sister is due November 11 and I wouldn't dare be away when the baby is born. That's actually why we pushed up our Disney trip from November to September. I'd tell you to come up and do one here but it gets cold so that's why its more fun to head south in the winter to do races.

City of Oaks won't sell out, so if she winds up delivering early, you can always do a last minute trip.

Tracking - check
exercise - check
water - half check
shopping for college supplies - cha ching

Not a bad day over all. I got my hair cut and colored today too

Meg- your sisters due date is really close to Becca's birthday!

 

[poppinspal]

Kat- I could absolutely do a last minute trip if she's delivered by then. I'd love to come down and run with you.

Nancy- When is Becca's birthday? Mine is November 16. (Turning 30 this year!!)


Just did a quick couple of miles because I ate a little bigger dinner last night and felt sluggish. Boot camp tonight and I'm wondering what she has in store for us as last Wednesday she decided she'd kill us with lots of sprinting. (She actually said she was going to make us hate her.)


Hope everyone has an amazing Wednesday.

I'm green with envy that you are just turning 30!

OMG, I had to share my joy with the Goddesses b/c I know you'll get it! I RAN today! I could only do a mile, and my foot is hurting now, but it felt SO good on my lungs and so invigorating! I've been in a total depression not being able to move, so it was worth it, my lungs were on fire after just not running for 2 1/2 weeks. The reason I could run is b/c I started using grapefruit seed extract on the warts and they were better overnight! I'm hoping in a week or so they will be gone and I'll be able to train again. Regardless, just doing a mile felt great!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Nancy- When is Becca's birthday? Mine is November 16. (Turning 30 this year!!)

She's the 13th.

Good luck with bootcamp! I both envy you and feel for you at the same time

I *do* get it! It feels amazing to get a good workout in, doesn't it!

I hit the gym for strength work today. I have gotten so "soft" over the summer. I definitely lost a lot of muscle mass Time to work on gettin' it back!

I'm really trying to keep my head in the game of life here right now Livin' by the list. That's the only way I can get a handle on what needs to get done in the next 7 days!

(Break is over - back to the list.)

 

[Ronda93]

Karen - so glad you found something that's working. Enjoy the high!

Nancy - I hear you on the list. It's got to be on the list or it doesn't happen.

I've added another day of running to my plan. Getting a little extra in on Mondays now.

Back to work.

Ronda

Karen- I'm actually very excited to turn 30. I have said more then once that I feel better now then I did at 25. I'm glad you got a run in, sometimes you just have to do it to break out of a funk.

Nancy- Lists keep me sane at time. My question is... do you put checking the thread on the list?

Ronda- A little extra run is always nice.



At boot camp last night I wasn't feeling like I had my usual amount of energy, I just felt a step behind. But I showed up and did it. (My friend Gina who I go with bailed at the last minute and tried to get me to skip with her.) And my instructor told me she thinks theres been a lot of change to my body in the past couple of weeks and I'm looking good. Other people have said it but there's something about her saying it that made me feel even better.

I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

 

[HockeyKat]

Karen, wooo on the run!!

Meg, yay for body changes. 30 is a good year.

Nancy, good luck. Breathe.

Ronda, how many days per week are you running now? I have been doing 3, the two short and one long. I need to add in xtraining and strength at some point I think but have been concentrating right now mostly on dietary changes and running.

I can tell my upper body definitely needs some work.

Got an early "run" in this morning, more walk than run. Humid and I was tired.

Assuming Irene stays a bit to the east (but not too far east, the rain would be nice!), I will be doing the Battle of the Triad half on Saturday.

My parents are currently at OBX and will be evacuating here either today or tomorrow. At least they get the few days of the beach house rental back!

Hi Everyone!

Im here, not dead or missing!

Its been crazy around here - work, work, work, had a week off to go to the coast then straight back to work! Its like I never had a break!

I absolutely need to get back on track - Im about 5lbs up from my lowest, and Im feeling it!

My plan - Water, healthier food (chocolate and crisps just won't do any more!) and back to regular jogging! Oh, and to stop reading Stephen King books in bed. That just messes me up!

Awesome on the run Karen!

Meg - Im with you on 30! I turned 30 at the beginning of this month and its great! I wouldn't go back to early 20's if you paid me!

My parents are currently at OBX and will be evacuating here either today or tomorrow. At least they get the few days of the beach house rental back!

Hope your parents are ok Kat!

Everyone - Hi

No. But I should!

Irene. I don't know whether to thank her or curse her I DO need a day stuck at home, but....

Oh, and to stop reading Stephen King books in bed. That just messes me up!

I creep myself out SO easily. Seriously -sometimes I can't even walk down into my basement without a panic attack because my mind wanders to those wierd places. Stephen King books in bed would just be B.A.D. for me

Morning ladies. So I went and saw Kenny Chesney play a super small show last night, I was essentially right at the stage. It was a great time. Until I had to wake up at 5:30 for boot camp. But it's in the books. Tonight we're seeing Kenny Chesney again but at Gillette Stadium. The show was originally supposed to be Sunday but they moved it to Monday due to Irene. Busy, busy weekend.

Kelly- If you saw where Stephen King was from you'd understand why he writes the way he does. I've been by his house and it could be in one of his books. My Dad and sister are Stephen King fanatics. The Green Mile is the only book of his I could handle.

I hope Irene doesn't cause too much trouble for everyone. I'm off to work.


HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

 

[Ronda93]

Kat - I'm running four days MTuThSa. My mileage plan comes from MfM and the technique from JG. If it starts to break me down I'll drop the extra day. I just want to arrive at the starting line healthy. I hope your folks make a clean getaway from the island.

I'm up a couple of pounds and feeling sluggish. Still searching for the magic headache bullet. Planning to see the doctor next week.

We're headed to the lake tonight. I'll FB some pics of Stretch in his lunchbox. Have to add lunchbox to the list ; )

Good luck with Irene everyone. It sounds like it could be a doozey.

awesome!

Freakin' Irene. It's looking more and more like she's headed straight for us. Granted, I myself am not right on the shore (thank GOD!), but my parents are. Like I don't have enough to do already.

 

[lisaviolet]

Short post. For me - funny.

Kat, Nancy, Erika and Liz - stay safe. Oh shoot Megan too.

Down 1.1.

Baby is here - FB - boy - my niece. Not the boy the mother. Oh boy - quick isn't working for me.

Kat, yes I thought you had two NC blue shirts year one. If you still do - I don't care about worn. If you don't - oh well for me. THE NC BLUE I LOVE.

Kat I will PM.

Love to all. I haven't read much so I'm sorry if I missed anything.

 

[lisaviolet]

Kat outstanding. on your goal.

 

[lisaviolet]

Just caught your parents Nancy. Here's to a turn off coast.

 

[lisaviolet]

Off to baby Katland (PIT) right now. To fly. Ummm, I'm going to WDW. BCV. A week. I didn't tell ANYONE because I'm finding some attitude with my timeshare and I don't/didn't want it on facebook because of that. My father - while I was trying to be positive with his Florida for the winter chances - actually asked me if I'm selling drugs to get to Florida even though he knows about DVC. It was funny but kind of serious. So not at lot of happy that you fulfilled a dream of ten years of waiting to buy DVC. Even though I've had family members many of time. So no sharing of my own trips for moi right now.

So I'll catch you all on the other side.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

WHAT!?!? Lisa! That's awesome! Hope you have an amazing time!
