An observation about blogs

I read a lot of blogs. There are some I have read for years, others only for a short time. Most of the blogs I read are weight loss related – either someone losing, or having lost, weight. In general, the weight related blogs I read fall into one of two categories 1) the person hates exercise and only does it to lose weight. She struggles to do it – if this person develops any sort of regular routine, any illness or family situation etc that comes along will totally destroy their routine. Then they’ll start again, struggling to make exercise happen. 2) For this person, exercise has become a way of life. They now exercise for reasons other than weight loss. Eventually their eating will change to support their exercise, whether they are still losing weight or not. Gone are the tv dinners they used for ease of counting flex points, and hello whole foods which support a healthier lifestyle. Where do you fit? I love watching the 1s turn into 2s. That is what has been happening to me, and it rocks.

So, weight training was awesome last night. Supersets rule!

Superset 1:
Db row 30/12 35/10
Db press 25/12 30/10

SS2:
Super pullovers 20/12 (too easy) 25/12
Incline flye 20/12 25/10
Finish these parts with 360s using 10 dbs.

SS3:
Tri kickback 15/10 15/10
Bicep curl 20/4 20/7 (why was I so weak here last night????)

SS4:
Tri overhead press 30/10 35/10
21s 15/10 15/10

Shoulders:
Overhead press 20/10 25/8
Alternating front & lateral raises 12.5/6 ea X 2

3 negative chin-ups

Ran 2 miles this morning. It was cold and my inner whiny brat wanted to argue, but inner drill sergeant kicked her to the curb and got our a$$ outta bed!

Today I noticed that my pants are a little baggy where my tummy used to be more flabby…… Yeah baby!

Do any humans read this stuff? Sometimes I wonder…..

I agree - you are definitely a "2"! Hope you feel better soon - being sick stinks. Sometimes I feel like I'm shouting down a well, but it does keep me on track.

I think I'm a 1 and working to be a 2. Which I guess is better than being a 1 that has no desire to be a 2.

I'm a "2". Sometime over the last year I passed over the fence from "running to lose" to "running because it's my life". There's evidence mind you, non-running coworkers who avoid me in fear of more talk about running;) a home rule forbidding talk about running (wifey);) reading running blogs every chance I get;) planning vacations around my running schedule :O.
