And with 40 minutes of high intensity cardio, I complete Week 1 Day 1 of the 5K Your Way Plan part deux.   As I mentioned before, I am going to do the plan again and my goal will be to improve my previous time from each walk.  This will keep my momentum going and help me for the two 5k races I am participating in this month.

thespartanwarrior: No one got fat in a day, a week or a month. No one gets fit in a day, a week or a month either. Dedication. Perseverance. Execution. You’ll get there, I promise. I need to remind myself of this every single day.

Hello all...
For those of you who followed me from the Do Life page, thanks and welcome.  I actually want to thank Ashleyanne (SlowestPoke) for telling me about the great healthy living/weight loss community on Tumblr when I met her at the Do Life 5K. While I’ve been following Ben since last year, I really didn’t know about the community. I’ve been blogging about my weight loss over on A...

How Jen Loses Weight...: Decisions... →
howjenlosesweight: Decision #1: To join Weight Watchers again or not? That is the question. I got an invite basically back to WW in the mail yesterday. Included in said invite were two current offers…join for free and get a month free. The month free expires on the 17th, the join free expires in October (I think)…. First of all, do not let her feel bad.  Shame on her for doing that.  If...

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. - Frederick Douglass I was waiting for it.  What is IT exactly?  I’ve been waiting to feel blue/down/depressed about my job situation.  It hit me when I least expected it.   All day on Friday everyone was talking about how much there were looking towards their three day weekend due to Labor Day.  It made me realize that for the past 5...

Ben Does Life.: It doesn't matter how far I've... →
bendoeslife: Yesterday, as I was in the midst of my 10-miler, I saw a fellow runner. He was shirtless and had all the perfect muscles to go with it.

Celebrate that as well!

Hard work paid off
You may have noticed that I the past two days I didn’t update on my exercise status.  That’s because there wasn’t any.   I was supposed to have walked 2.75 miles on Friday and done an hour of cardio yesterday to prepare for my 5k today.  I was in a bad place mentally on Friday and after walking about a mile at a slow ass pace, I gave up and went home.  I will talk more about that...
