STRONGER



So.

I want to run faster. I want to run longer. I don't care about my weight on the treadmill right now. I just want to really be able to say I'm running!

I want to do 5 full push-ups. I want to do 10 girl push-ups without my arms shaking.

I want to do 150 crunches this way that way and any way.

I want to get those 'unreachable' lower abs rock solid.

What do you want?

    I want to do a full push-up, too! I want to get through a whole workout without having to stop, that would be nice.

    You can get there!! When I started working out all could do was a not so great girl pushup. Now, I never do girl push ups...ever! I want to be able to have my muscles start showing more which means I've got to burn the outside layer of fat!!

    Wow. You ladies must be in this for the same things I am!
    @Jenn-full push-ups are awesome. I don't think I could EVER do more than 5. I was pretty 'tough' back in the day. Guess not as tough as I thought.
    @Lisa"One Mom's Weight Loss"- Now you're just showing off!:P just kidding. I'm excited to get there, and I am so glad that you CAN.
    @KatDoesDiets- Pull ups! How could I forget those? Oh. Maybe cause I can't think of anywhere I would do it. Huh. I'll have to thunk on that.
    @BEE, I want it to be over too. But, I'm done with having babies. I hope you get yours!
    @Corletta- I wanna see it on YouTube! THat's all I can say!

    Just found your blog.......I wish you the bery best.......I am not having a weight issue, but since March last year, my life has been a washing machine thanks to my employer and some stupid inconsistant rules...anyway.....I am now motivated to try and get to full push ups too....I started yoga last night...like a fish out of water. I have the flexibility of a galvanised pipe....but I will keep at it....sometimeslife sucks but it will turn around......

    Good attitude! It isn't all about fitting in to smaller jeans. A lot of it is about getting strong enough again to take anything life throws at us!

    @Buttsy- I like your humor! Ah. It is like a breath of fresh air,"sometimeslife sucks but it will turn around......" Bless you Woman! I too shall try some flexibility tonight. Just so I can laugh about the galvanized pipe. My husband does have pipe benders.

    @Fit Mommy- I hope so! *indistinct screaming* I mean . . .

    I really love these goals. I've never given myself any fitness goals other than maybe be healthy enough to not get winded doing normal things. Like tying my shoe, lol.

    I'd like to be able to do 1 man pushup. I've never been good at those.

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
