We went through the job loss thing back in April and it was scary there for a little bit. We were fortunate that Darren only went 1 week without work but it sure puts things into perspective and scares the crap out of you though.<br /><br />I can see how working out kind of took the back burner with other things you had going on but it's awesome that you're so motivated to get back into it. I'll have to try the interval training. I've heard a lot of people talk about how great it is for getting your endurance up and also increasing your speed for races but I've just never tried it since I've never ran for a race so I didn't care about speed. But if it can help tone me I'm all over that. I've been running with a friend and we want to change things up since we find ourselves being able to talk all the way through our 3-5+ mile runs which lets us know we are getting too comfortable with where we're at. You're so hardcore with your workouts and eating that I'm sure those 5 pounds are going to melt right offDarren and Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610907446636352786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390957750973647784.post-47052670699266943152009-10-14T12:23:10.559-06:002009-10-14T12:23:10.559-06:00Wow!!!

I am now in YW, teaching one night a week and Russ is still in Elder's Quorum, so I have let working out slide. It was getting too stressful to have one more thing on my plate that I had to do - even if it was my favorite thing. <br /><br />Kudos to you!!Russ and Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282748079500406110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390957750973647784.post-31057392041284797882009-10-12T20:50:42.202-06:002009-10-12T20:50:42.202-06:00Sounds like the new job will be really neat and br...Sounds like the new job will be really neat and bring some great experiences with it! Good for you guys.<br /><br />It's amazing how hard it is to get in a habit (like exercising) and how totally easy it is to get out of it! Why oh why can't it be the opposite! :)Brian and Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217858936474571849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390957750973647784.post-56587566907366240172009-10-12T20:12:41.181-06:002009-10-12T20:12:41.181-06:009.9?

I know how you feel about back-tracking with your weight, don't you feel awful? But you can ALWAYS get back into your training, and yes, this is the time to be rededicating yourself with the holidays ahead. I'm with you! Wish Jake good luck with his new job!Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402557898221498277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390957750973647784.post-77415340194134539122009-10-12T18:46:53.340-06:002009-10-12T18:46:53.340-06:00I know you think that I don't need to lose wei...I know you think that I don't need to lose weight, but I definitely need to be working out. I've gotten all soft and smooshy and I've noticed over the past few months with my stress going up and up and up that I now have a nice pooch that won't go away. I want to feel good about my body again, but I've been so busy with other things and struggling with my stress that I just can't seem to get there. I've VERY casually thrown around the idea of doing the marathon with you. At least, trying to force myself to train for it and then seeing where I get. You'll lose the 5 lbs. easily, especially now that you've got a bunch of muscle to help you out. You make me sick.Ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585578006209844268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390957750973647784.post-47475751817924436052009-10-12T13:26:36.500-06:002009-10-12T13:26:36.500-06:00Why does stress make us gain weight?

I hope that things go ULTRA smooth with Jake's new job and so on. <br />I am with you! I need my butt kicked right now too. Way to go on the speed intervals- I haven't done those in awhile, and I am going to tonight- thanks for the inspiration! :) Keep up the good work!!!!!Bye Bye 5 lbs!!! :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131359591971176828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390957750973647784.post-4942012922063108332009-10-12T11:55:32.633-06:002009-10-12T11:55:32.633-06:00Wow Jamie, I had no idea.

I wish I lived by you so you could help kick my rear on a frequent basis. I need it. I'm sure you'll do great at reaching your goals!Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729456460349797315noreply@blogger.com
