Wow I made an appearance in your blog. O.O /is honored Lol. But seriously I'm glad you know that was a joke, I definitely didn't think you were doing anything wrong. I am glad you explained it too, because it reminds me that just hitting that number of my weight goal isn't the end for actual fitness. We can all be so obsessed with numbers that we sometimes forget that there can be more to it.That is something that you addressed nicely without even meaning to it seems, lol. But seriously keep up the good work, I would be horrified if my silly little comment made you second guess yourself or your goals. Report Inappropriate Comment |

Hey, enjoy the freedom to push yourself! The kids come, and they do sports........and then your challenge is to actually do something other than sit in the bleachers and WATCH your kids being active. The only soreness I often get is bleacher butt. I actually LOVE the doms! Makes me feel like things are working, growing, burning, toning!!! I think it's great you aren't feeling "done"! Lisa

Grats on the clarity. It's nice to get those glimpses into our own motivations! All this talk of TOM... took me weeks to figure out what you women were talking about. Figured you all had a vendetta against that dude who is your automatic friend from MySpace!  Keep that burn coming! Report Inappropriate Comment |

Dana, Your blogs ARE SO motivational! And I think it was Sparkpeople where I read that one of the keys to long term success with maintenance is too continually set goals. Really sore inner thighs? That's awesome! One of my most troublesome spots. Keep up the good work, and spreading the spark to others through your blogs and posts! You rock.

One of the reasons that I check your blog regularly Dana is not only that you are quite a few steps ahead of me on the learning curve but also that you also done did it! You lost over a 100lbs and you still have a great mental attitude and haven't lapsed into complacency. Keep up the great work maintaining your loss and your new fitness goals.

LOVE this blog! Thank you, because it really summed up for me a lot of why I'm still pushing myself so hard (or being so hard on myself when I'm not pushing...you know?) Anyway...just reading through the rest of your blogs that I got behind on for a bit there.... Have a kick butt day! Report Inappropriate Comment |

I hear ya on the reaching a fitness goal thing, I myself can't wait until I can lift weight again, not that I can't lift now but losing the weight is the main goal and gaining muscle while losing large amounts of weight is kind of opposites so here I am :) Keep doing your thing until you hit your goals and keep in mind that the Dana that gained all of the weight did not run all of the time, did not eat right and look where it got her. continuing exercise and smart diet is essential in keeping the weight off. keep doing what you are doing.

YES I can't wait til I get to the point physically that you are now. I've resolved to take an entire year off from all forms of dating just to focus on myself and hopefully ingrain these habits into my lifestyle. STUPID MEN! they won't screw me up :P I want to see exactly what my limits are and how much I can turn my life around in this year. Thank you for being a continual inspiration, and good luck with your goals! Report Inappropriate Comment |
So this week is TOM, and I somewhat reluctantly weighed today, but I was feeling good, and I've been a very good girl, and it showed. Nicely within the middle of my range so WOOHOO. :)
So I recall writing that today I was going to run and then do mMTC Day one...
Well... after waking up this morning I started getting all NERVOUS and ANXIOUS about Making the Cut day one!!! The first time I went through the program Day One ALLLMOSt had me in that pukysick place where you push yourself OVER your limit. And I had to take a break, cool down, and take the rest of it in less of a pushpushpush mode.
The workout consists of 5 Circuits, each one containing usually 3-4 ST moves and a minute of cardio. Well, the book suggests going through each circuit TWICE for a more intense workout. So back to me, months ago, Day One -- I only did the circuits once through and it was still the most intense workout I had ever done and I almost puked. HAHAHAHA
So fast forward to today and I'm like running and THEN mMTC??? WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I decided that in order to be able to give my all and really go through the circuits twice like I wanted to, it'd be better NOT to run beforehand. So I didn't. Running will take place tomorrow.
As for today's workout -- totally kicked my butt. But I have to say, the comparison to the first time through is really amazing. This time I was soaked in sweat, muscles burning... but feeling GOOD. I did not once feel like I was gettng dizzy/sick/vomity none of that. And that's doing every circuit twice. The workout took me almost exactly one hour. I've tracked it as "Circuit Training" on SP's Cardio Tracker, which gives me 672 calories burned for that. NICE! :D I would also like to say I LOVE the kickbutt feeling of going around the gym working myself out HARD. Yeah that's right, check me out, I rock. :P hahahaha Except when I'm doing Burpies or Squat Thrusts -- then I hide down a Stretching Hallway.
I brought food to eat afterward at work and got here a little early to eat and read before starting the grind. So now I'm worked out, feel fueled, and just waiting for the day to go by. :) HAHAHAHA. Can you tell I just LOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEE my job? *sarcasm*
I forgot my work shoes AGAIN. :P
P.S. - I'm not vegetarian, I just didn't buy meat yesterday (mentioned in the last blog) because I had stocked up the week before at Sam's Club. :) hehehe. I mostly eat poultry if anything (ground turkey and chicken breasts) some tilapia and shrimp... and occasionally some red meat.

Wow that workout sounds insane! Great job completing it. Tell me again why you're working so hard while in maintenance? Lol. I know you are doing the right thing, but man you're making some of us look bad, haha. Just kidding, we love you!

Haha! Getting to buy new clothes for maintenance is a GREAT reward! Nice job, there! As for the HRM... maybe you can just splurge? Or if that makes you feel too guilty, you could set a "been consistent at maintenance for 3 months" goal or something. The 10K sounds good as well. I'm usually terrible at rewarding myself, too, but in the opposite way - I'll just go buy/get the reward when I get impatient, or get pretty close! Definitely trying to break that bad habit this time! PS- Your workouts sound INTENSE! Great work!! Comment edited on: 9/2/2008 10:25:37 PM Report Inappropriate Comment |

Great job on that maintenance! I've heard that can be harder than the actual weight loss. Good luck with MTC. It sounds like you're much stronger now and will be even stronger when it is over. Report Inappropriate Comment |

Wooot wooot!! You ROCK! I forgot about some of the goofy moves - those squat thrusts? Not my favorite... And now I'm getting all panicky because I'm going on a business trip next week, and had planned on doing MTC at the hotel gym, but I'm fearful that next week will have us doing crab walks and all that goofy stuff. AHHHH. Talk me out of this craziness Dana!!!! Hope you have a great run tomorrow!!!!! Report Inappropriate Comment |
