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...

pear demise?

nope. still here, still fighting, still trying to un-pear.
I am doing great! exercising daily, the whole insanity thing. and let me tell you it is insane. seriously insane.
I am doing mostly well in my eating. I have been stricter (more strict?) on my eating.
clean eating.
i have eaten veggie burgers and spicy black bean burgers.
yum
i am roasting chicken right now, smells good :)
i have given up beer except on weekends.
its a start
don't judge.

pears can b-o-x

I boxed again on Tuesday morning...probably not a great decision, since I couldn't even move to get out of bed! lol...but I sure felt better Tuesday night! I was talking to my friend who I box with (she is not a pear, she is an apple) and we both decided it is best to get up early and work out in the am. Even getting up in pitch black. Going out in the c-c-c-c-old. It is so worth it later in the day. It feels GREAT! Again with the running on Wednesday and lifting weights on Thursday.... and here we are Friday :) Friday mornings there is no boxing :( no bueno. So I will have to make myself go for a run or something.
Now eating: I command you to get under control TODAY!

sore, bruised pear...

so..... i really went ALL OUT in boxing today and I am sore. I am sore...it is a fun and beautiful thing! I love to be sore because it makes me feel like i actually did something. I am not sure that is scientific or anything, just my personal feelings.
I did more abs than I have done in 6 months.
I did more cross jab combos than I have ever done...I kicked ass!! And I am super excited and proud of myself.
I also have eaten very little today, based on the fact that I had a crown and it is still SORE. ugh... but feeling positive :)

a pear deduction

I can eat, or not eat. I can exercise or not exercise.
Nothing changes the pear shape.
But I feel better when I eat better. I feel better when I exercise more. I feel more alive when I am working hard. I am stronger and healthier.
I am running.
I am Insanity-ing.
I am kick boxing.
I am strong.

insanity strikes...

Well, this pear is insane, it is insane that I am still a pear, and I get insane at the way my clothes fit at the same time I am insanely in love with eating donuts.
Insanity. check it out.
no not in the dictionary, we know what that means check it out here.
