Hello, everyone!

I was wondering how everyone is doing here at the end of the challenge. Then I just read up on several blogs and found out that you all are tired and determined and scared of what happens next. So that's how you are feeling!

I wondered also how many people are left. I know I'm on the list of people who fell off and I was definitely bummed about it. Did anyone else? Did anybody else try to climb back on?

Through all of these three months I have really lost track that there wil… Continue

Friends, today is my birthday! I've been swamped with my little family visiting and foisting several trips to restaurants, drinks, cakes, and STRESS. I have seen my trainer though, a couple times in the last few days. I looked at my schedule for the summer and am delighted to see so much free time.

But most importantly, today I woke up and saw/felt the light at the end of the tunnel. I have been greatly depressed for the last month and simply hurt too much to drum up the motivation I needed to… Continue

So I'm on a mission to get myself back up to speed with the workouts. Today I did what I set out to accomplish: IMT back up to 10/15 reps with 10 pushups. Tomorrow I'll do the Power Circuit (I'll shoot for 50, why not?

After which I expect I'll sleep like a log. A really, really tired l… Continue

Okay. Along the way I have told you one or two things about myself. Here, it's sharing time again.

I'm stubborn. Terribly stubborn, and when I have PMS, believe me, you would rather not tangle with me. Irrational and emotional is a horrible combination. I hear it's pretty bad for those around me. I can assure you that it's awful from the inside.

Okay, so I wandered back here and I'm so glad I did. And I'm comfortable with starting over, in an accelerated manner, mind you. But Dax goes and tell… Continue

First time, I made it 30 days.

Second time, I made it to 60 and then I had a massive personal freakout. Thank you for your concern, my friends... it was work, it was personal, it was too much for me. Add in that I tried the Wave diet (SO not for me at that time!) and that "special" unstructured week, and I broke down. So that was around June 1st. Now two weeks have passed and I am back. I have missed you and all the support and humor and struggle and encouragement. Work is over (thanks be to Go… Continue
