I decided that since things hadn't been working out at the gym lately that I would try and go to Combat Friday night. I haven't been in a while and I thought it would help jumpstart some cardio since I've been slacking with my busy schedule. Let's just say, Holy Crap! Not only was it hard because I hadn't been in almost two months, but even Bri admitted it was one of the hardest combinations of songs she's ever put together. She even told the newbies that if they made it through to the end, they were good to go for any future classes. We did my least favorite song (the one with the multiple lunges) and the tricep blaster at the end. Plus a whole bunch of nasty songs in between. I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest! But I did it!
Yesterday was my last class (meaning I have next Saturday off) and I did not make it to the gym but I did make a nice healthy dinner. Chicken breast strips on a salad with bread. This morning, or I should say afternoon, I went to the gym for some cardio. Somehow, I think it was sheer determination, I jogged 4 miles. I did stop a couple times to let my heart slow down and then hopped back on. It was hard, but after seeing the scale the past couple mornings, I knew I had to push myself. I'm even thinking about going to Combat again after work tomorrow since it did such a number on my arms, back and shoulder muscles. I need to shape up or ship out!

About Me
- Jen
- I lost around 80 pounds doing Weight Watchers and have kept it off for two years. Losing the weight was easy, maintaining the weight loss is much harder! I got out of the habit of running 20 miles a week and I am now trying to get back to those old, healthier habits!

Good work. I still need to go to the gym this afernoon and just because you did, I am raelly going to try to get to that 4 mile mark. Even if I have to jump off a few times. I am going to do it! Thanks for the inspiration, and good job getting back to combat... I just don't think much can beat that!
PS. Regarding contacts... I still don't love them, but I am waiting to. It's only day four, I assume it will be getting better. The ones I am trying are $45 every other month. Jennifer uses some that are $30-$40 and wears them twice as long... so every four months.
Ok, so I still can't help but think that people who run for fun are crazy - but I guess that will never change for me. And that doesn't mean I don't admire those who can run more than about 2 minutes without wanting to kill themselves - so great job with that! I've just decided that running is SO not for me. Actually, maybe my extreme hatred for running makes me more in awe of people who do it, even if they are a little crazy.
I put info about my contacts on Karrie's page. Although her prices show I must have paid more than $100 - but I know it wasn't over $150 (somehow I ordered a certain number of boxes and then got some free - plus there was some kind of money off coupon or something). I think I remember turning around $130-140 in to my flex plan, so I guess 2 years cost me somewhere around that, not the $100 I said earlier. Still not very much to be able to see, since I look like a nerd in all glasses.
What's happened to you? You've disappeared from the blogging world. Hope all is well.
