My Fitness Blog: March Madness!: "Ok so I borrowed this from the college basketball hoopla that happened this month but this is how I can best describe this month in terms ..."
PRR Health and Fitness Expo Start line How do I describe being apart of the largest 10K race in the world in one word? FABULOUS! To date the largest race I've ever done was the Miami Marathon, which had about 25,000 people registered. That race alone was overwhelming with so many people so I couldn't even imagine what 60,000 racers looked like. And being new to the city of Atlanta I wasn't even sure who, what, where and how it all worked. The logistics of just getting to the start line seemed overwhelming. And something I'm learning about myself recently is that I get major anxiety when I'm in situations that I'm unfamiliar with. I need to know the ins and outs of everything before I start to feel remotely comfortable. Which is why I haven't ventured out much into the Atlanta metro area. Start Line So when I learned that the best way to get to the race was to take the MARTA (train) I was all the way out of my comfort zone. I've taken ...
So I found that eating right can be so difficult. Which shouldn't be so surprising because if it was easy everyone would be doing it. But you'd think the food companies would want us all to eat right and live long prosperous lives instead of manufacturing a bunch of food with no nutritional value and potentially harmful additives. I mean if we're all dead, who's going to eat the food? Let's take Doritos for example. No doubt there are million of these cheesy tortilla chips being gobbled tonight as people watch the Super Bowl. I couldn't help but share a little tidbit about this snack. I was at a meeting on Friday at work where we were given lunch. I opened my lunch box and found a bag of Doritos in there to my horror. I wanted to trade them for something else and found an abandoned bag of Kettle Chips. So I flipped it over and read the ingredient list. There was three things listed. Potato, vegetable oil and sea salt. I flipped over the bag of Dorit...
Ok so before I start on my topic at hand I just want to say that this blog isn't all about good news and positive things and how great I feel because all though there are days I feel great there are days that I do get down. And I wouldn't be true to myself or to my readers if I didn't share them. So everyone knows last week I started doing 2-a-days. That is working out twice in one day. Once in the afternoon and once in the evening. My goal this week was to lose two pounds. That's doable right? So I worked out everyday, some days I worked out twice in one day some days I only worked out once. But the fact is I worked out EVERYDAY! 7 days this week. But my mistake was weighing myself everyday.... I felt like I wasn't going to accomplish my goal because that scale wouldn't budge. In fact it went UP! The nerve!!! So I started to get a little depressed and felt like all my hard work was for nothing. But I never gave up. Even if I felt like it was a waste of ti...
