Better Health Article: Break Through Your Diet Rut!- I loved this article and thought it had some good ideas of things to do to help get us all recommitted and motivated to keep going.
And HERE is another similar article, if you're interested.
QOTD: What do you think your best physical feature is?
I like my calves. I know, it's a weird one. I like to try and get them toned and buff. I remember having really buff calves in high school from all the volleyball condition, jumping, etc. I loved it. (PS Those are NOT my calves in the picture, just in case you were wondering. ;) )
My Daily Update: Today I met with my trainer and I worked on my core and legs. I was doing some HARD stuff, exercises I didn't even know I could do. My favorite part was at the end. My legs were so shaky, my heart rate was up. My last exercise was a hover with a 25 lb weight on my back, and hold it for 30 seconds. Christine started talking to someone and she wasn't really tracking that 30 seconds... but I sure was! I counted up to 45, my legs were shaking, my arms and shoulders were shaking. Christine then said "10 more seconds", then she pushed on the weight to make it heavier those last few seconds. I wanted to drop, but I knew I was strong and just had to DIG deep. I felt so good afterward, knowing I gave everything I had. After that I went into the body combat class and got in about 20 minutes of that class before I had to go. I tell you, that was even HARDER. My body was so fatigued from the weight session, and then to try and kick and jump around was so tough. I finished out one song and almost said "forget it!" But I stuck it out, and I'm so glad I did. Days like these remind me how strong my body and my mind are. Everyone needs days like these.
My Comments to You:
Ash- Glad you like the pics. I need to search around for some more. You're right, it's not about comparing. It's all about you. No one else. How have your runs been this week? I like Shakira's "Africa" song, too. Right now I'm loving Cee Lo's "Forget You".
April- Wow, I don't know how you do it without music. Although, people-watching at the gym could keep me entertained for awhile. ;)
Emily- I love Glee's Bad Romance, too. I liked Gwyneth's "Forget You", too from Glee.
Kale- I know what you mean about getting in your tv time. I watch my shows that are DVRed at night when the kids are in bed. If I didn't have a DVR, there is no way I would be able to watch anything. I love Biggest Loser, too. That and So You Think You Can Dance are my two favorite shows.
Janica- Sorry you got burnt out. I think it's wise of you to change up for routine and make it a little more doable. That's amazing you did so well at the 10K. You realize not very many people could do what you did, start out doing a 5K then say "Well, I guess I'll just do the 10K." That's awesome! Sounds like you and I have the exact same taste in music.
Selena- I'm not sure I've ever heard Elevation. Maybe I have. I'll have to pull it up on YouTube.

Jamie-
You continue to inspire me! Thank You for being so dedicated to this! I love reading your posts every day! It motivated me to keep pushing through! Though I have come to a point that those last 5 pounds DO NOT want to come off, I am still trying to stick with it. A little frustrating! I am noticing more muscle tone and that makes me happy.
Thank You again for inspiring me to continue!
Mel
Ugh, my comment just got deleted again. I will try to sum up what I said in it.
My favorite feature is my lips. I like that they are on the full side and that I know how to use them ;-) At least, that's what Chad tells me.
As far as my running goes, I'm getting through it, but I'm not pushing myself like I should. I'm really just drudging through it and only going 1-2 miles. I need to push myself more, but I feel like I don't have the time or energy, but then I see you working your butt off and you're totally stretched thing, so then I tell myself to shut up and do it. I'm getting by.
As far as my sweets go, I'm doing okay there as well, but I've been slipping on some days because of that darn "healthy" vegan cookie dough. I've convinced myself that it's okay to eat because it's "healthy" and it's not real cookie dough. I know that it's still a treat, but sometimes I give in. Other than that, though I don't have any treats, so at least I'm splurging on something that's sort of okay. It's raw unsalted cashews, plain rolled oats, 10-12 dates, whole wheat flour that I grind myself, a tiny pinch of salt, 1/2 tsp. of vanilla, 2 tablespoons of low calorie maple syrup, and a handful of chocolate chips all thrown into a food processor. Then I roll it into balls and freeze them. They are soooo good. A little too good.
I can't wait for my new workout gear to get here. I actually ended up getting everything that I wanted, so I'm psyched about that. I'll have to take pictures when it gets here. She has already ordered it all and when it arrives, she'll e-mail me and then ship them out. I ended up getting a jacket, tank top, long sleeve shirt, bra, pants, and capris. Can't wait!
