    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    Alright, anyone have any thoughts on a changing schedule? I will basically be adding 2.5 hours to my work day (which was the time I was spending working out before shift). Basically, I open the gym back up at 11:30pm (it's closed from 9:30pm-11:30pm only) -10:30am Tuesday-Friday & then Saturday...

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    Week 1 was a success. It was very taxing, but well worth it. I am really enjoying the change of "pace" (haha pun intended) & the opportunity to work on some speed. Yesterday after I warmed up I jogged for 5 minutes, did 10 tread sprints at 12.4 mph/2%, then jogged (8:28 pace) another 15 minutes...

    Thanks, I really appreciate it! I am definitely not a "sprinter" by any means, but enjoy running & what it can do for the body. I just found a track close to me that I can use for sprint work, etc. Any thoughts on a good track workout?

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    This seems to be a recurring theme for me (stopping & starting a blog). Most days it seems that I do good to eat my meals, sleep half way decent and get my training in. Since I last wrote, I DID complete the half marathon (last weekend at 1:59--pheww) & still consistently kept a weight training...

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    Thanks for the input! I did some circumference measurements and weight, but that's it. I def. need to take pictures though. I haven't done progress pics since my show. I think for a while I was too hard on myself about that kind of stuff. BUT, by the end of this week, I'm going to have to do it...

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    Well I survived the Super Bowl!! What a stupid game though. I feel like Broncos players played worse than most high school teams. I guess what makes it so bad is that OBVIOUSLY they are a much better team than that. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the Sea Hawks won, but I just wish it would have...

    holy s**t!

    Yeah, no kidding with the form. It's def. an over-exaggerated power lifting form BUT I still couldn't press that weight even if I used that form. It's insane that she is only 13. My 13 yo niece can't even do one push up. I wish that I had been brought up in a home where fitness matters because...

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    Sooo I taught an Abs & Tabata class this morning. I was hoping this would be my big debut back into my fitness life (normal life). I did good during abs class-- although my core was on fire, I felt pretty good. THEN, Tabata came next. After the first round, I felt weak.. after the second round I...

    Well I think I'm well on my way & no fever, but still not 100%. I got a reality check when I was showing a client new exercises & felt overly winded haha

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    Well as life would have it, I woke up Friday morning with the flu. I still tried to go to work, but at a half day was sent home. It was absolutely the worst feeling. I don't typically like to take medicine, but I was gladly taking it! I was down for the count until yesterday evening. I am not...

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    Don't you just hate when you start a blog and you forget that you started a blog? Haha I ended with Saturdays training. On Sunday, my girlfriend and I ran 2 miles and walked & stretched. Monday was a total rest day. Yesterday I had a 1.5 mile run and legs. I did mini-superset circuits with 3...

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    I know I said I would post my nutrition starting next week, BUT I needed to put my imperfect diet out today... Don't worry, I know all these things are not great and that's why I needed to do it.. I work third shift Tuesday through Friday and first shift on Saturday, so that's why I have extra...

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    Do you prefer short hair or long hair on a guy/girl?

    I find girls more attractive that can rock the short hair

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    Thanks for the replies and thoughts. I know I will be losing some muscle, but it's not like I am trying to be competitive for a half marathon or jump on stage again any time soon. I just need a change of scene for my fitness--- focus on a new and different goal. I am very disciplined if I have...

    Training: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

    I am considering a different approach to my Spring training schedule. I have been a "gym-rat" for the past few years and love being in the free weight dungeon. I used to run more often than anything else. I would like to run a half marathon in May, but I don't want to lose (most of) the hard...
