spinnnnn

I love spin class! Nothing like getting all the exercise out of the way early Sunday morning. I did back and biceps for a 1/2 hour before spin, then spin for 45 min, then abs for 1/2 hour and then another 20 minutes of cardio.....I am a maniac. But I am slightly bloated (A.F.). Went to the beach then finally relaxed this weekend! I actually look forward to my long workouts in the weekend.....I hate having to rush like I do when I workout during the week (in the a.m.).

moving helps you lose weight

So I put on the marriage 10 (like the freshman 15 but way harder to take off because Im not 18 anymore). I have been killing myself to lose it for at least 6 months. A pound or two would come off then right back on. Sooooo with moving and going up and down 3 flights of stairs at the old place about 70 times a day bringing stuff to the new place..and painting...and yardwork, etc. I have lost about 8 lbs! Also cut out alcohol during the week (unless Im out to dinner), and not having as much time to snack....I am so thrilled. I fit into pants and clothes that I almost donated because they havent fit me in 2 years or so. I was convinced they were shrunk by the dryer. I am motivated to keep it off by my progress. And how hard it is to lose weight. I used to just be able to exercise it all away...but once I was in my 30s it is not so easy. Just wanted to say sometimes skinnybitches gain weight too...and get upset about it. And it is just as much a struggle for a thin person to keep off weight. I hate when people see me and just assume that I sit around eating bon bons all day thanking my lucky stars that I am skinny and dont have to do a thing about it. It is really hard work staying in shape. Just to let you know

Ive been so busy!

So we just bought a new house and that is why I have been MIA...updating the blog is not a priority right now. So wanted to update with a picture from my last race...The Parker House 2 mile fun run and beer party. It was a lot of fun and we got two shirts (sweatshirt and long sleeved T) and I ran my fastest mile ever...I finished 2 miles in 15:38...I could barely believe my eyes when I got close enough to see the clock. What a great feeling. I probably owe it to my husband who runs very fast (his leisurely pace) and I have been going on some short runs with him. I guess it helped. This picture was from the very end of the race...I was sprinting hard once I could see the finish. Look at the agony on my face...so worth it at the finish line though! I was initially hoping to beat 18 min...never guessing that I would run in less than 16!
