pear p-i-e

I
cannot
can not
CAN NOT
get this pear under control. I am always falling short. I am the bruised pear, the unripe pear, the one that is not right.

The P90 Pear

Yep, I bought into the P90X System and I actually like it.
I am still a pear.
I have been getting up at 5:30 every morning 6 days a week for 5 weeks now to get through the P90X system. It is 12 week program. I am noticing changes and it feels good. I can always tone up my arms so easily. This has been the biggest difference in my body shape.
So a pair of "guns" for this pear!

Can a pear turn into an apple?

I think it can. I'm watching it happen. Will I stop watching and start doing??? Well, I'm trying a bit. Aerobics class is Tuesday and Thursday. So far, I've only made it to one a week. Next week, I WILL make it to both. Today I walked in my woods - it's a bit aerobic, but only a bit. I WILL stretch today and do my back exercises for the chiropractor. I WILL NOT over eat. And I WILL thank God for another day to try it all again!

Tam - LOVE the story about the bikini. Mol - How's the yoga? When you get moved up here, will you teach me?

old update

so the half marathon was amazing.
i ran it with a friend and finished in just over 2 hours.
i love running now and i feel really antsy when i don't run.
as far as the other goals go... well, i haven't been so good at those.
maybe they will turn into new year's resolutions. :)

goals, goals, goals

well, i officially signed up for the columbus half marathon. october 19th.

my goals are: 

1. getting to the starting line

2. enjoying the race

3. finishing the same day

i did run a 5K a couple weeks ago... it was so fun. and i'm running another one this friday evening! i am really enjoying running, and that's the first time i've run long enough/consistant enough to be able to say that. 

other exercise goals:

1. yoga on a regular basis

2. riding my road bike (padded shorts anyone??)

3. 50 crunches a day/10 push-ups a day

food goals:

1. no more soda

2. no more desserts (except jenni's ice cream for the rest of summer:)

3. no more alcohol (with few exceptions, of course:)

4. more fruits, veggies & protein!

5. only 1 coffee drink a day

6. no more processed foods

(that looks like too many "no's". i don't really like that, but not really sure how to be specific without them...)

tam - you coming up here for the race??

Send help

Roll has somehow turned to pudge, still annoying, but not as protruding...

children are evil

Did I say that I have a flat stomach???

Today I am in my bikini, and Kennedy comes by and pulls the bottoms up a bit.

Our conversation:
what are you doing?
I think it looks better this way.
why, it seems too high now
well, it covers that roll of fat that you have right there.


nice.
