Beautiful Day
Happy July 22! According to the star on the calendar at work today is the day that I was scheduled to be HOT. Yes, it is the end of the 12 week Body for Life challenge.
My results:
Weight loss – absolutely none!
Pant size – down one size
Body shape – totally different. I’d love to verify this with pictures but my “before” picture was a casuality of the Great Accidental Memory Card Deletion of 2009.
What could have gone better – I could have followed the diet plan better but I was bad. That alone probably explains the no weight loss. Slacking on cardio days didn’t help. But I can’t emphasize enough how much I love weight routines. I’m planning on continuing a modified version of it every other day.
What happens now – I’ll keep doing the Couch to 5K running program to try to burn some of the fat covering my newly toned muscles.
Speaking of which, I was running yesterday on a wooded trail. I was on my last 90 second run and had 30 seconds left. I decided to sprint to really workout hard. I looked at my watch and saw that I had 2 seconds left – and hit the ground. You know in movies when they show someone getting thrown out of a moving car and they roll over and over? I did a mild version of that. I’m not sure what I tripped on. I scraped up my right knee and shin. My poor shin – finally get over the shin splints and then I scalp it.
Here’s how you know if you are a true blogger. As I picked myself up and surveyed the damage my first thought was “I need a picture of this for the blog. Caption it I’m a real trail runner now!” My second thought was “Wait until it gets scabby. It will look better!”

I love the new design. The content’s awesome, the picture at the top header is awesome, I love this comment layout (can you tell I’m a true blogger when I decide this comment box design looks practical and pretty? -sigh-) . I’m not a fan of having to click “Continue reading” but I do it with many other blogs and your posts are always worth it, so i’ll get over that.
Keep posting about the couch to 5K; I’m trying to keep up the routine I had at Uni and failing now it’s Summer holidays, but your blog keeps reminding me to keep at it!
Thanks for being an awesome blogger

I am SO laughing out loud here. I had a similar incident last year and I DID post a picture of it on my blog: http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/2008/04/road-rash.html . Truly demented minds must think alike.

Yup, I have a falling down post too. We bloggers are an interesting bunch (interesting weird, but still….)
