Holy soreness…My thighs are giving me major grief today. Yesterday’s Crossfit workout was a tough one. I still love it. But it was tough. Our workout was a 400 meter run. Then, we had to do 30 box jumps. Then, we had to do 30 wall balls. FIVE TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, people….five times. I think it was [...]
I was so excited when Weight Watchers came out with their Activelink. I just knew it was going to be just the motivation I needed to move more. It was available in many other states before Georgia and I waited patiently for it come to me! I was so excited when I finally got the [...]
Last night was our first “real” workout with our trainer, Larry. I was pumped! I am just so ready to lose this weight, get in shape and give it my all. I had no idea what to expect which is both fun and really hard for me. For all you out there who are also [...]
Ok people…I am officially scared and I am not sure why. Let me explain. Saturday I had a meeting with an owner of Crossfit gym that happens to be a parent at my school. A little Crossfit background – I have heard mostly about it from other blogs I read and also from my brother. [...]
I don’t even remember when I first discovered Swim Bike Mom. I think it might have been through Facebook. Whenever it was, I am so glad that I did. She LOVES tri-athlons and weight loss!

I did it. I ran my second half marathon this weekend. Did I love it? No. Did I have my best time ever? No. Am I glad I did it? Absolutely. This Saturday I ran the Silver Comet Half Marathon. The race started at 7:45. As we pulled in around 7:30, I was a tad [...]
I have been very wishy-washy lately. Should I? Shouldn’t I? Should I? Shouldn’t I? Well…yesterday afternoon I made the decision. I’m going to run the half-marathon I signed up for on Saturday. Oh…wait. You didn’t know I was considering NOT running it? Well, I was. I had so much self doubt in my head that [...]
I didn’t do my 6 mile run tonight. I just can’t. I mean technically I “could.” But I just don’t think I should. My body is saying, “NO!” I had a horrible night last night. I was up half the night with an upset stomach. Then, today, I just didn’t feel good at certain points [...]
