Hey all!! And Happy August to ya!!
And a special Hello to my Cousin Trina in Atlanta!! She is starting her fitness quest by treking up Stone Mountain every day!! You Can Do It!! She will also be (ahem) writing in and giving us updates on her progress, won’t you!? Cuz, ladies and gents, this is a forum – we want to hear your stories too! I know y’all are sick of hearing me brag! Ima size tee – enn!! Bwahahaha!
Yep, I didn’t quite believe it, so I went out to my favorite consignment shop, (Designer Consigner, on North University street, for those of us in the Peoria area) and tried on a bunch of 10′s. I walked away with 2 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of pants, 4 tops (large, not 3x) and a cute pair of shoes – all for $35 bucks!! Skinny and frugal….why aren’t I married??
The outfit pictured above was part of the bounty.
Well, the scale didn’t move much – about .2 down. I have been going out to eat a bit more – gotta have a social and a love life – so I haven’t been tracking or planning as much as I should have been. I am still running, and I found a new way to torture myself train for my upcoming 5k which is in September.
I am now incorporating 30 second windsprints in my morning run. That is where you run or sprint as fast as you can for 30 seconds, then slow jog til you catch your breath, then continue on for at least a half hour. I have only been doing this for a week and already my evening runs are becoming easier – no huffing or leg tiredness.
I did manage to do a face plant on the first night of this tho – I was running in the bicycle lane in the street and tripped over a loose piece of tar. Skinned up both of my knees, and elblow and scraped my chin. But never one to be daunted (read: I didn’t have my phone and couldn’t call for help or a ride home) I finished my walk. Que the She-ra music….
I am gonna have to start frequenting the gym more – arms are better but still have to get everything tight and right. Right now those 10′s are fitting with the help of Ms. Diet Trim! Ah well, they fit! Bwhahaha!
Stay tuned this week – we got something special coming up!! And a chance for you to win a great prize!
Til next time!! You can do it!!!
Awesome victory! Congratulations and thank you for leading the way to health and real beauty.
