Week 3 wrap up.

Sorry I have not been posting. I have my little brother staying with us so we have been keeping busy this week.

Monday was a great workout with Laura, we have a huge class of around 18 people now so she had to get creative.

Tuesday our other trainer was out of town so a friend and I met up at the gym and worked out for 45 minutes.

Yesterday we did bootcamp outside on the grass. By the time we were done I have red hives up and down my arms and legs. When I got home I took Benedryl and that knocked me out from 6:30-10:30. It was horrible.

Today our trainer is out of town still so I was going to meet up with my friend again, but she was unable to make it. So, I still got myself over to the gym and worked my butt off for 42 minutes. I ran 10 laps on the indoor track. I ran 10 staircase loops which is up the stairs, down the hall, down the other stairs, down the hall and back up the stairs again, 10 times. After a quick drink I ran up and down one set of stairs 5 times and then to end the workout I went outside and ran 5 laps in the rain. I felt like I got a pretty good workout in for doing it myself, but I think I would still prefer my trainers to be the ones pushing me and kicking my butt. Also, I noticed, it is a lot harder doing it on my own. If you can get a friend to workout with you, do it, time goes by a lot faster and it is nice to have someone there for support.

Tomorrow is the last day of week 3. I look forward to a great workout in the morning and a climb at the gym with friends tomorrow night. Saturday, if the weather is nice I will be joining my relay team group for a trail run early in the morning and then I look forward to some climbing at the gym later with McKay.

My next post will be Sunday for my weigh-in.

Thanks for stopping by!

Taking a break from the scale!

I want to lose these last 25 pounds so much, especially the next 5 because I will finally hit my 100 goal but I have a mental block going on and so I have decided to step away from the scale for awhile. The scale isn't what this is about anyways. Yes, I have a healthy weight goal that I have set so the scale keeps me on track, but it is all about how I feel. I feel good and I look fabulous and I get compliments everyday and that is what matters most. So I have to tell myself that I have lost  95 POUNDS and the next 25 pounds will come off when my body is ready to let go. I just have to keep working hard, be patient and love life! 95 FLIPPING POUNDS!  That is an entire person! I am so happy about this! I will let you all know when I jump back on that scale, and I expect it will be followed by my "I LOST 100 POUNDS PARTY" ! Keep working hard everyone, you are worth it! Thanks for reading, Jena

Day three: Different Trainer

Wow, can I say that I am sore from the stairs yesterday!? Sore in places I did not know I had muscles! That aside, today was a great workout. We had a different trainer today, she was awesome and pushed us hard. It is nice having two different trainers that work you till you drop. They have different styles so I think it is great to get pushed in different ways and work different muscles. I am starting to get to know some of the people in the class, all very nice. Day 3 was great, I am starting to feel really good. Last night my sleep wasn't the greatest, I kept waking up every hour thinking I would not get up in time and miss my alarm. My soreness levels: Monday's workout I could feel today and was about a 3 out of 10 in soreness. Tuesday's workout I would say was around a 7 or 8  out of 10 mostly in my legs. Biggest loser was great last night, go Mike! We had biggest loser party at my friends house with healthy snacks and food. Good times! I can't believe we...

Purple Day 5k for Epilepsy

On Saturday March 24th I had the opportunity to run in the first Annual Purple Day 5k for Epilepsy. This will go down as one of the most heart warming, memorable races I have ever done. This race was created by some of my most dearest friends, The Green Family: Greg, Angela, Gabe, Marisa, and the inspiration for it all, Natalie. Natalie is 11 years old and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy when she was 8 months old.   I decided that I wanted to race and support this great cause and my friends to help find a cure for Epilepsy. Purple is the color to support Epilepsy so of course, if you know me, you go big or you go home and so I went big and bought me a purple morph suit that covered my entire body, head to toe in purple awesomeness! You should have seen Natalie's face when I showed up decked out in my purple-tastic outfit, priceless!   There were 160 runners/walkers at this race and an amazing group called  Push to the Finish  that pus...
