It Starts...

:smilielol5: hahahaha....OMG ...you have me dying laughing!!! "Inbetween the sheets time?" under "exercise section" hahahaha ;) :reddevil:

....Cause, I mean.....that's gotta count for SOMETHING right!? ;)!!! :smilielol5:!!!

I googled " calories burned during sex" when you said that and this came up first link :

"INTERCOURSE: The average lovemaking session burns between 50 and 100 calories. Having sex 3 times a week burns 7500 calories per year. That’s the equivalent of jogging 75 miles. The more intense the sex, the more calories are burned: up to 15,000 calories annually (at a frequency of 3 times weekly). 15,000 calories wquals over 4 pounds of weight loss per year!

ORGASM: Experts estimate that an orgasm can burn between 60-100 calories."



...hahah....:smash: that gets that out of the way!...but with that being said...I adore :beating: date nights especially when they are in. You seem to enjoy and relax and just curl up the best. Going out is fun and all, but it's until you really go out sometimes and have a boring time that you really really miss date night in. We try to have one date night "in" every weekend. It's the best....& I adore PIZZA!! What other way to get a date "Free no barriers" day than with pizza, and cookies....the only extra we've been adding lately is "Mimosas"!...I love em. :drool5: ..hahah

You know, this weekend while I was in the "alleys" (down town over here, where we buy jewelery for $1 . The stuff that is in the boutiques re-packaged to cost $15 per peice.)...I was really looking at those skinny jeans and all and I was realizing how important it is give yourself "motivational clothing". I thought about it too, when you went to Old Navy and spend on some new sweaters.

I didn't buy the jeans, because I decided, work hard this month and drop a size before to prepare for the trip soon....but today, just wearing a new shirt, makes me feel better about my body. New clothes don't seem to attach any negative old feelings you had about your body then, (meaning me) and it all around is "good for the soul". The shirt I bought in boutiques is about $30. I paid $4. hahah!!! SALE SHOPPER!

Also..........

...And I thank you So much you little soft peach :grouphug: for being so supportive & for your wonderful comments. They make me feel so special coming from a beautiful green sexy eyed Hot eccentric toulip you!!

On another Leaf:...I really want to hear this plan of attack for your break through into the 120's. All I need to do is break into something too...hopefully I can copy your thoughts on this.

...Tomorrow, I will try will all my might...so start exersizing (forgot how to spell that) again. And get up and go to spinning in the morning! :D!....Remind me. hahah!

Click to expand...

I think the first thing I need to do is define what my goals are, if they are attainable and then move to objectives to reach said goals.

I've been mulling it over a bit and I'm still working on defining my goals... once that's all said and done then I'll create a wo plan and nutrition plan to reach those goals... and all will be good. :)
 
Update Tuesday Oct 20

I did it! I ran my first half marathon!! 13.1 miles baby! Finishing time of 2:38:32. And to top off a great day, honey of 3.5 years proposed to me!

:party: :party: :party:

Its hard to believe that its already over and done with. In the past 8 weeks I've ran 110miles! Time for new shoes if you ask me!!

I'm currently working on my new goals and what I want from my training. My biggest objective is to find balance in my everyday life, minimize stress, and become happy with my body (no matter what weight I am).

I weighed in at 137.1 this morning. I know I've gained some weight since training and I've come to terms with that. I want to get down to 128-130 by December 1 and then maintain, maintain, maintain.

Yesterday was a "recovery" day and today should be a run day, but I'm going to give my body a little more time before hitting the pavement again. I'm thinking a nice yoga session might be just what I need.

My objectives for this week are to keep my cals between 1500-1600, drink my water, manage my time, and start finding balance. I forsee myself getting back down to 134-135 by the end of next week!
 
Congratulations on your engagement!!!!!!!!!!!!

That looks so fun to run in front of the workers there on their treadmill and get video taped to see the balance of your foot,...but honestly,...hahah...The first time I saw that treadmill and that the running store was very small...I thought ....:eek: "WHOA...are they gonna be looking at my ass bouncing around everywhere?!?! Thinking...like..."does she reallyrun like that?!?!" :smilielol5:!!! ....BUT that's not gonna Hold Me BACK!!!...hahah!!! ;)!! ...they can watch it bounce, wiggle, shift to one lopsided side, WHATEVA....hahah....just gimme some shoes...& throw in a Free Goupe for the "bounce to the ounce"!! ;)!!! hahah!

I've got 17 days until my last final and 18 until we fly out. I'm currently concentrating on living a balanced life. I've lost 85 pounds for goodness sake and need to let that sink in a bit mentally before really moving forward with any goal.

I plan to keep running since thats what I do, and strength train because its fun and makes me feel strong. I am also looking into some spin classes and other outlets of exercise.

I'm learning to cope with what I've been given and am happy with the healthy life I live and all the wonderful people around me. :)
 
Crazy how time flies. It's been almost 5 years since my last post and so much has happened in that time. But I'm not here to talk about the past but the future rather.

I'm currently training for my 3rd half marathon on June 22. Training has been tough as I've had some shoe issues but hopefully got it worked out. I have 4 miles on the menu this evening.

I have about a million goals running through my head right now but too priority is getting my food on track. I know that with better fuel my workouts will be stronger and I'll have more energy

So as of this exact moment I'm making planning, preparing, and fueling my number 1 goal.

Cheers!
