Synny667 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 I can tell you it is super simple but needs more flavor so you have to play around with it.

Synny667 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Rockin day!!! Sun was out, kinda windy and warm, work was a breeze but full of temptations, didn't eat any temptation. Got to the gym and it felt great. I can say I honestly gavae it 200% and when I wanted to short myself a rep or 2 I told myself 1 more rep just 1 more rep and finished out my set.

Synny667 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 So a friend planted a seed in my brain and another friend watered that seed. I am seriously considering doing the Warrior Dash this year..... I need to decide by this weekend so I can switch my training around if I decide to do it. Any thoughts anyone?????

If you need training ideas or tips, get at me PLEASE! You'll basically be hooked if you do it- just a word of warning! XOXOX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 My one day off from work was a busy one..... I did all my shopping and I hope made enough food for the week. I am sure I did just always worry that I don't. Everything is gluten free (getting sick of gluten free btw.....) but I miss my wheat products especially my ezekiel bread!!! I made baked mac and "cheez" with veggie pattie, spicy sweet potato chili with cornbread muffins, sloppy lentils minus the bun, baked potato bites, roasted asparagus and spicy green beans with mushrooms. Was going to make some rice pudding but it is to late now and I am to tired. I really wish I could get 2 days off again.

amandagracewing Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi Nancy, How's your tummy treating you these days?! Seems like you're doing better but I wanted to check and see how you were doing with that! Enjoy your day! xo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Haven't had any problems in a couple weeks now. I am achy from my arm trying to pop out of the shoulder socket last night. I have the day off from weights but will do what I can in yoga to stretch it out some. was looking in the mirror last night and realized I need to take a new pic lol. I do look a little skinnier. Got into a size 14 jeans yesterday!!! When I started out I was in a size 24/26 depending on the cut of the pants. Now in a size 14/16!! I gotta remember slow and steady wins the weight loss race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ready to hit the gym and skip work. I really want to start running for the warrior dash that is 4 months away and well I don't run hahaha! I am a ball of nerves and excitement!! I barely managed to finish a 80 mile bike ride for charity but like my tattoos say strength and dedication. Time to focus. BTW new progress pics will be uploaded tonight.

amandagracewing Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Nancy- I highly recommend the C25K program! You can download it for your ipod- it's awesome! You'll love it! Also, Hal Higdon's beginner training programs are awesome! I always use some form of one of his programs when I'm preparing for a race of any distance! I'm pumped for you, sister! xo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
