Tomorrow is the 1st day of SacFit and as long as Matt is feeling okay I will go and do my pace mile or two and see where I am at. Thankfully I am feeling ( Read more... )

On Friday at 11pm I had to call an ambulance for Matt. He was taken to the ER and diagnosed with severe pnuemonia and sepsis. He was transfered from the ER to ICU at 3am Saturday morning. He had to be resuscitated at 5:15am in the ICU with a defiblirator. Luckily he made it through and the nurses are calling him "miracle boy". He was transfered ( Read more... )

I gave myself until today to make a decision as to joining SacFit or not...well, I have made my decision with the help of my wonderful, sick, feverish fiance...I have decided that I am going to do it. I know that it will be beneficial to me to have a group of people doing the same routine (for the most part) that I am. That will keep me motivated ( Read more... )

The class was called "Ride and Glide" and involved using the stationary bike and then the glider machine thingy that I am sure has a technical name. It was a pretty hard class, but fun! I got my butt kicked, but in a good way. :D It feels so good ( Read more... )

I finally got to play with my new toy today; the Garmin Forerunner 305. Before I went to the park I did 15 minutes on the Wii Fit, then I did a mile and half using intervals and then 1 more lap (about 3/4 mile) just walking to cool down and make a course on my Garmin for just 1 lap. The mile and half took me 20 minutes and the cool down walk took ( Read more... )

Lately I have been struggling with the idea that I need to lose weight and that if I just stick with a plan I can do it. I made some New Year's resolutions yesterday, and on the list was my plan to lose weight by eating right and exercising.

Today was my first day back at the gym after a week long or so hiatus due to being sick. I was glad to be back, but I ended up embarrassing myself...

I just got home from a mile and a half walk around McKinley Park. It is cold outside!!!! It only took me 30 minutes, but it is better than nothing!

So my LJ front page says I last updated 5 weeks ago...LAME! Not too much has been going on in my life, but a few noteworthy things have happened I suppose. I came to the realization after Sabrina (Matt's mom) met goal in WW that I am an extreme lame-o and that if she can lose 98 pounds, then by God I can lose 17! I decided to get back into watching ( Read more... )
