Facing My Fears

by 123pizza on May 7, 2009

I’m thinking this must be the month/year I am finally starting to face some of my fears. Last month I enrolled in college after an eleven year break. I realized fear was the only thing holding me back so I took the plunge. Today I joined our community gym. To some of you that may [...]

Reading/Thinking About Running

by 123pizza on March 31, 2009

I picked this book, Runner’s World Complete Book of Women’s Running: The Best Advice to Get Started, Stay Motivated, Lose Weight, Run Injury-Free, Be Safe, and Train for Any Distance (Runner’s World Complete Books), up from the library discard pile for 50 cents last year. I haven’t read it but have been thinking about it [...]

Weight Loss Cycle and Not Trusting God

by 123pizza on October 4, 2008

I had a different post planned for today. It was all typed, edited, and scheduled to publish, but God had other plans. Last night at Lifegroup, Rebecca gave us a challenge for the week: maintaining our hope and patience when things don’t happen in the time we want them to. For each of us this [...]

Ragamuffin Top Challenge – Week 13

by 123pizza on August 30, 2008

At one point I had this post already written and ready to publish. All it was lacking was my weight picture. The original post was bitter. It displayed my frustration at eating right, exercising, and not losing any weight. I was sick and tired of it. It has been thirteen weeks and all I have [...]

Ragamuffin Top Challenge – Week 11

by 123pizza on August 16, 2008

Last week I changed my goal from thirty minutes of exercise three days a week to sixty minutes of exercise three days a week. Although I met my goal I am officially changing back to my original goal.

I found sixty minutes was taxing on me mentally. Whenever I thought of exercising for sixty minutes I felt dread and didn’t want to do it. I even broke it up into two sections of thirty but having to do that extra thirty was miserable. I wasn’t even going to complete my goal this week because I was dreading having to exercise for an hour. I hated it.

Ragamuffin Top Challenge – Week 10

by 123pizza on August 2, 2008

It’s been hot so I’ve been staying inside working out on my elliptical (I heart my elliptical). I’ve met my goal and this week my goal has changed. My goal is to now workout three times a week for at least 60 minutes. Those minutes can be broken up. Say, 30 minutes here and 30 [...]

Welcome to my ninth week of the Ragamuffin Top Challenge. I have to say that I am finally starting to see some results. The numbers on the scale are slowly going down and so far this is my best week. Once again I have met my goal of exercising three times a week for at [...]
