remember when....

my baby sister Molly said this...
well, she is right.
love me the way i am.
take care of me the way i am.
do the best that i can.
my own pep talk.

well pears should not try to be... ummm.... hourglass?

okay, i dream about being hourglass.
i want to be hour glass... something other than pear.
but i have no idea how to change pear shape.
still p 90 x-ing as well as running.... eating risotto right now, so probably safe to say that i am not really eating as healthy as i should.


i do not want this pear. shape.
re-shape.
now.
!.
.

a little p 90 a lttle running

and a little food.
=
a better me!
I feel so much better just getting moving again! I had 2 days of p90X and then a great run this morning with my running partner! I love running in the chilly weather :) makes me feel alive!
A little coffee, cheerios w/banana and i am off to Mac's soccer game. Life is good. yes.

day 1

P90X is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
I started this am and let me tell you, WOW! I didn't know just how out of shape i was! LOL 20 push-ups=hard!
It feels good to get back into it, well good in the sense that my flab was jiggling all over the place, reminding me just how out of shape I have gotten. wow, nothing like a little jiggle to make you want to cry in the morning.
the jiggle will stop, the eating will be good and i will conquer!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps, i am going to try the positive, motivate myself approach this time :)

time to STOP eating the donuts...

hi
im back, pear shaped and flabby!
ha! I have been taking a break, why? who knows...just cant seem to get it all together, and now it certainly ISNT all together, it is all flabby and out there and, well, i am done with that!
so tomorrow (haha i laugh just saying that) begins THE EXTREME ME.
nah, not really, well, really i am starting something, i just thought i would call it something different.
really it will be the "last ditch effort to not be the fattest sister at thanksmas diet and exercise program" i can't even keep up with my running partner anymore, so i have to go it alone! LOL
t-minus 28 days to thanksmas, watch out!

all things considered...

exercise... not making any difference

no food...not making any difference

i have a problem... i can't lose weight! get skinni-er...

ugh. not even get rid of pear, but be a thin pear.

going to the gyno, gonna get this figured out.

anyone done the b12 shots?

feel like my metabolism needs a swift kick in the a$$.

ugh.

pears metabolized

okay, i have been appropriately "tsk tsk'ed" by my baby sister.
We need to love whatever vegetable we might be.
I lost that. I have been through a slump lately...not liking my pear shape. Not wanting the pear shape.
2 things have made this happen...
1. I almost completely stopped working out for 2 months. Just didn't feel like it, didn't want to, didn't think it would matter that much. But OH HOW IT MATTERS TO PEARS!!
2. I am getting old. As in my metabolism has just abruptly stopped working...or so it feels this way.

What does this mean?

I have had to work extra hard in the exercise department in order to get some sort of shape back... and I have really had to follow a stricter diet, one that allows for an, uh uhm, aging woman.

So far...pleased with results.
So far...going well.
So far...
