Now I'm ready for anything!

Like so many desk jockeys, I let weight creep on after finishing college and getting married, and finally realized that my lack of fitness was keeping me from living the life I've envisioned for myself. I've lost 55 pounds since joining SP in February of 2011, and along the way, I've discovered that I actually enjoy running (always hated it in high school PE!), and also discovered the magic of kettlebells. Lately I'm dabbling in Crossfit as well. Now I have a program that keeps me fit for ...

Current Status:
KAPELAKIN is doing pretty well with the hotel eating. Certainly better than eating out 3x a day, and. cheaper, too.

Fitness Minutes: 37,498

My Goals:
Healthy eating, and fitness. I'm just above my desired maintenance range right now, so focusing on getting stronger and faster, and letting the weight thing take care of itself at this point. my next goal is to run the Payette Lake 30K and do unassisted pullups. I'm toying with the idea of a marathon, but might save that for 2014.

My Program:
I mostly run outdoors in my neighborhood, and swing kettlebells. Lately I've also been dabbling with the Crossfit workouts, adding in more compound lifts, jumping, rowing and pullups. Food-wise, I try to eat as little processed food as possible and tend towards Paleo and Perfect Health Diet, though I refuse to totally give up anything!

Personal Information:
I live in beautiful Boise, Idaho with my husband, 2 dogs, chickens, and a horse.

Wow, that's really hard for me to wrap my head around! I've always been schooled that there were different shapes and that if you were that shape than you had no way of changing it.

I saw your comment on my blog. What do you mean I might not know if I'm pear shaped for sure? I thought that was just a shape no matter how big a person is. Wow. That's amazing. You look fantastic. So, it's absolutely possible. What an inspiration. emoticon

I'm learning how to use my HRM. I looked at lots of types and while I would have loved to get a Garmin, they are just too pricey for me right now. I'm happy with the Polar that I got. It's really been interesting to see what my heart rate is doing during my runs and to get an accurate read on calorie burn. I've got lots to figure out still, but I'm quite a gadget freak and love the data I'm getting. :) What Garmin do you have? Hope you have a good day!

Thank you for commenting on my blog regarding my daughter's new gluten-free diet. It's somewhat overwhelming and confusing, but it's for a great cause, so I'm not letting it get to me!
