Before After

Calories Burned - 825?!

Yep...that's what the ole Polar watch read this morning after I was finished with my workout with Jane.  All I can say is - I am BEAT - but of course, feel pretty awesome!  The drills she has me do totally kick my ass - from skipping (literally) to mountain climbers to finally getting onto the treadmill and running sprints - makes for an exhausting workout.

It's nice and quiet at the office today as my boss is out - and she's supposed to leave for London tomorrow so she'll be out all of next week - although I had a voicemail from her this morning and she sounded like hell.  She said she got sick around 6:00 pm last night so her travel plans may need to be rearranged.  Hopefully she will be feeling better after she gets some rest today.

Since it is so quiet here I finally had time to get over to the Eddie Bauer outlet and look for some shorts.  I don't have any that fit, and I know I'm going to need some when I'm in Big D next weekend.  I found a great pair that were on sale (size 10 - woot!) and also bought a couple of tank tops.  I'm saving the real shopping for my girl's weekend with Txlass!  I'm really getting excited to spend more than 10 hours with her - because she is HILARIOUS!!

Hope you all have a great Friday!!

Thank you

I want to thank you for all of the great information you sent me the other day regarding my feet and aches.  I learned quite a bit.  Plantar Faciitis has actually been kicked around in my past, due to the large amount of time I've spent on my feet.  Thanks for reminding me and sending me the information.

Tigger is a cute name for a dog.  I'm sorry you were scared like that.  It does make your heart just stop on a dime huh?  Our dog has done that one other time. (way back when he was a puppy)  Oh Andrea, that time was even more AWFUL. 

We had decided as a family we were going to get up and take a small walk before everyone started their day.  Me, dh, ds, and the dog.  It was right at dawn, and we were walking along the main road of our complex.  Thank the LORD that the speed limit is only 25mph in that area, as our little dog slipped off his collar and literally started running "suicides" from the sidewalk to the yellow line in the middle of the road.  It was NUTS!!!  Dh jumped out in the middle of the road like a road guard to stop traffic (almost getting himself killed) ds was screaming on the side of the road thinking his new dog was surely going to get hit, and I was on the side of the road attempting to tackle him.  Tink literally ran back and forth from the side to the middle of the road like 5 times.  Traffic was like 10 car lengths backed up in each direction, and I finally tackled him.  We all sat there just completely and totally stunned!!!!  I'm laughing now as I write it, but it was awful at the time!  He hasn't done anything like that until the other day, yet that was nothing compaired to the first time.  He's been to obediance training and everything.  I don't know what got into him.  Scary stuff!!!

Anyway....I'm sorry the lady hurt you the other night at dinner.  Clearly anyone should be able to see that when you loose 100 pounds it is NOT done without a lifestyle change.  Hmmmm...it really is odd how some folks think isn't it? 

Just so you know.... I think you are inspiring and look absolutely amazing!!!! 

I must have missed it somewhere, who's Jane? 

Glad you had a great workout, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 

Thanks again!!!! 

 

Glad....

Girl I'm so glad the scale is moving on down.  Your trainer sounds hardcore.  That's some mega calorie burning. 

Love ya girl!  Hav ea great weekend. 

I'm pretty sure

I'd kill over if I burned that many calories in one whack.   a week from right now...we will be trotting through the hills of Las Colinas.....I'm excited and nervous.....but you and txlass are already old hands at this!

Vicious!

Your workout sounds terrible.  I mean, WONDERFUL!  Wait, sometimes, a workout is both, right?  That's a whole lotta calories to burn in one workout.  Maybe I need to do that. 

Have a great weekend!

825???

Oh my gosh!  That is awesome!  You look fantastic! 

 

Amazing.....
