After yesterday’s big emotional post, it was time for me to stand behind my words and take this training seriously. I am going to do this 5k, I’ll figure out a way to do it. Continue reading “Back at it! Restarting the 5k training”

Rickshaw
I am getting so tired of this pattern: things are looking up, I have a very positive post, and then a month goes by and I’m talking about the dang wagon again. I don’t want to talk about the wagon, I don’t want to see the flaming wagon picture anymore, stupid wagon.
Needless to say, I fell off the wagon…AGAIN.
No, I didn’t just fall off the wagon, but axel of the wagon broke under the weight of my fat butt, burst into flames, and then I ate the oxen by cooking it using said flame. Continue reading “Rickshaw”
Focusing on the Floor, Not the Ceiling
Check out this picture. Among the color bars and numbers, one thing to decipher is I burned over 1,000 calories at the gym today! But how I did it may surprise you.

Wrap-Up: May 2015
Frustrated and confused. That’s how I’m feeling, at first I referred to these monthly pics as “progress pics,” but now it seems like I’m going to have to call them “accountability pics….”
Pre Weight Loss Challenge Status
The weight loss challenge at Orange Theory Fitness starts up in a couple days, and just in time.
I just had a huge shocker earlier this week. I haven’t weighed myself in over 3 months since I was really going to OTF hard the first time. So I’m not completely surprised at the initial weigh in, decided to step on the scale the other day and it was over 300 lbs!
I was utterly demoralized. I was angry. I blamed the scale, the last time I weighed myself on my roommate’s scale it said 282.2 lbs. Continue reading “Pre Weight Loss Challenge Status”
