My Weekly Workout Report

One word. NONEXISTENT.

Sunday I woke up puking my guts out, and it didn't leave me until Monday. Needless to say I didn't do a thing either day aside from laying in bed and on the couch.

Tuesday was still feeling pretty weak. I went to the basement to get in a mini workout. And that's what it was. MINI. My arms were like jell-o, so after struggling with a 5lb weight I gave up. However, Boz and I did go for a 2 mile walk! Had to take advantage of the beautiful night!

Wednesday was feeling a bit stronger. Actually got in a workout! It was less than thrilling. Pretty much just went through the motions. Heart for definitely not in it.

Last night I wasn't feeling great again so I just said, "Screw It" and didn't do a thing.

I plan on doing a complete workout, both weights and cardio.

On a brighter note - training for our 5k starts on Monday! I'm looking forward to that.

Y-ME Recap

How do we feel about being called BOSOM BUDDIES?? i decided to drop the Bosman part (obviously).

And i was thinking of putting $500 or $750 as our goal. It really all depends on how many people we have. Maybe I'll put $750 and hope we get more people to join us.

Right now the team consists of Me, Boz, Joanie & Becca.

Lisa & Bethany - you were for sure NO's, right? Because of it being Mom's Day, right?

Amanda - you were going to get back to me once you talk to your mom (Monday), right?

Never heard from Julie (hint, hint).

Its possible that Malissa might be joining us - which would be so cool!

Please post your thoughts!

What Can We Raise?

In order to sign us up I need to put down an amount of $$ for our team goal. Instead of picking a number out of a hat (which I may end up doing!) I thought I'd ask my team.

From what I've read, the average team member raises $150. But being as a few of us are family, it'd be a bit hard to hit up the family a few times. LOL!! So, my question to you is, how much do we think we can raise for Y-Me?? Please post back quickly (or I guess when ever you read this) as I want to get signed up.

This is New to Me!

Okay, so this is new to me. Yesterday is my scheduled day off of exercising. I have never had this happen before but i actually felt guilty not walking. That's just weird. I thought i would look forward to my day off and just chill out but i actually went for a walk anyway. Just a leisurly one but still i did SOMETHING. That was nice.

Oh yeah, and I AM SO TIRED OF PEEING ALL THE TIME!!!! I know it's good to drink water and stuff but i'm in the potty more than i'm at my desk!!!

=)

Bosman's Bosom Buddies

So I've half heartedly decided to call the team Bosman's Bosom Buddies. I figured the name is going to be attached to whatever I sent my friends and family and thought it best not to get too crazy.

Be warned, I'm in the process of finding pink boas for us to wear during the race. :o) I think it'll look especially nice on Becca! ;o)

Once the deposition gets under way and I've finished this one bill, I'll be signing up. You'll receive an email once I've figured it all out. And from that, you can sign up for the race, and start on your own fundraising efforts. They ask that each team member raise at least $100. However, if we don't, its not like we can't still race! Also, on the site you'll also be able to create your own little webpage and use that to help get the word out. I think that'll be the hard part for me. Trying to come up with something creative to say. LOL! See ya soon!

Send Me Ideas

If you come up with a creative name for my team, please email me or post it. I'm trying to get a few together before choosing. I kinda need them by tomorrow, as that's when I plan to sign up for the Y-Me Race.

Thanks Gals!

Here's what I've come up with so far

Support Our Girls
Fight Like a Girl (tho it doesn't apply to just women, so I'm not sure)
Bosman's Bubbies
Bubbies for Life

Knowing me (us) we probably won't do shirts or anything, so its probably NOT a big deal.

Almost Time!

Guess What!? For those of us running the Y-Me 5k on Mothers Day.... Training starts MONDAY! I don't know about you, but I am so excited!! Its been way too long since I've run an actual race. As many of you know I was into running BIG TIME. I'm talking I was doing a race almost every other week in the summers. Granted, I LIVED down here, and had someone else paying for me to do them. Lot easier that way! ;o) Anyway, during the last marathon I went into it with a knee injury and was advised by my orthopedic doc to NOT run. However, knowing me (i also came right out and told him) there was no way I was missing the marathon. At that point I had spent too much time and money getting ready for it. So he told me to run and to see him afterwards as I'll be needing him. Sadly he was right! LOL! Don't you hate that!? Anyway, with months of doctor apts and physical therapy behind me, I am ready to begin again.

I think my knees knew this as I woke up with them very sore. Figures, right?

I added a link on the sidebar (under the scary ladies) to a training schedule for running your first 5k. Also, here is another link if you wanted to look at that one. Figure out which will work best for you. I can't wait to start running with you cuties!

I'm Brilliant!

I've totally done it! I've come up with the name for my Y-Me Team! Which, i have yet to form. And which, after hearing this may never form. But dude! Picture this.... you are surrounded by a bunch of your friends..... people lining the streets cheering you on..... everyone wearing pink..... you are connected with every woman/man around you.... you run as one.... knowing you've raised much needed money that can change the world....

then you hear "whoa! what a freakin cool shirt! Where can I get one!?"

And you smile and think to yourself, "hmph, you can't b/c you aren't one of us" (little snotty I know, but its 9 on a Sunday, what do you expect?).

What's written on the much coveted shirt? Well, our team name of course! You ready for this??

BOSMAN's BUBBIES!!! or perhaps Bosmans Bosoms. Maybe Bosmans Bosom Buddies....

Yup, that's right. I named the team. I threatened I would. Didn't believe me, did ya? Dude! Who wouldn't want to be part of that team!?

Please don't let this hold you back. If you are interested in joining my little team, I'm willing to consider a name change. :o)

Happy Trails! Get out and do something tonight. We. Must. Enjoy. This. Weather.

Yesterday's workout

I took Emmalee outside to ride her bike, by the time we got home my legs were so sore from chasing after her. Great feeling. I love warm weather.

I'm sure I'm the only person on here that cares, but still I'll post.

What's the difference between running and jogging? Here's what a few people said...

This Week

So, i've been doing well this week. Jeremy and I walked a lot. We walked 45 minutes on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Monday. So that's 4 days last week (one more day then i had been) and 45-50 minutes (15-20 minutes longer then before) so i feel good about it. I've restructured my eating habbits to include a lot more water and no eating 2 hrs before bedtime and to include at least one snack in my day. I feel good about what i'm doing and i think i got my co-worker to do this with me.

I also went out and bought a walking DVD so that i don't have the excuse of the bad weather to detur me from working out.

So, I intend to do the same this week as i did last week. Hopefully walking at least one more day a week, maybe even 2.

this morning's workout

i was on the track for 31 minutes (stupid extra minute) - and got my two miles in. i even did some jogging. running? i don't know the difference between the two. so whatever. it went like this:

walk 1/4 mile, run 1/8, walk 1/4, run 1/8, walk 1/4, run 1/8, walk 1/4, run 1/8, walk 1/2.

my hips are a little sore, but they'll get used to it.

Hard Weekend

So my mom and dad have been home for the weekend! Yeah! Anyway, Saturday we worked in our yard all day since it is up for sale. I definitely got my workout in. But having great mom cooking is a problem.....maybe I do better just making my bad food. I really need to get into gear for the week.

Losing

I weighed in yesterday at my Mom's house and I have lost 6 pounds. But on the other hand I was really bad on Saturday and yesterday with eating. So I still must work very hard. Week plan, same as last.
