Today was pretty fantastic if I do say so myself...
A List of Reasons Why
Track started today, and I ran with the fast group
I have done fantastic food-wise today
I started Air Alert this morning
We might have a snow day (as in, a teacher who has predicted all the snow days we have ever had, the small amount that it is been, guessed Wednesday as being one)
I am about to cook something truly tasty for dinner
Yay!

Forget the Fountain of Youth, I'll take the...
I am going out for a run.
Do I want to? No.
Do I need to? Well, define need.
Am I going to? Yes, because that’s what crazy people like myself who make New Years Resolutions to run every single day do.
Ugh, why do I do this to myself?

beautyineveryday asked: Hey just found your tumblr, i love it!!
with the 99 post, next time start with the 11 minute run (get your body nice and warm) and then start with the 11 set and work your way up to 99. that will give you a better idea of your endurance and how much you can handle comfortably, and what's a push. good luckkk

I admit...I'm addicted to saltines
I know, its not all that awful of a confession but it’s true. They were my downfall, and although it’s not like it was something like chocolate I think that is why I rationalized it for so long. I was able to say to myself ”oh, well it’s not like they are all that high in calories or sugar, or anything in general.” And it’s true that they aren’t high in...

iamnotasupermodel asked: I absolutely love your workouts! Thanks so much for putting them up, they're a great for beating boredom at the gym :) I have a quick question about the BOATS one... what do you mean by lower back twists? I had a look for it on the glossary page but couldn't find it there.. Cheers!
aliciiaxo asked: how many calories does the Ninety-Nine burn ?
I did it, & it was great! It did take a long time though, but it was worth it. :)

skinniiminii asked: what a lucky find! I've recently started (more seriously) running. I really need the right motivation, but I can feel myself getting better which is the BEST. when you started did you really enjoy running? or was it more of an "acquired taste"?

sam-lightyear-deactivated201103 asked: I'm a sports student in the UK and I think your blog is incredible.
I do enjoy running but I've developed a knee problem over the years from field hockey so too much running puts me in quite intense pain for 2-3 days post running.
But I'm going to give that 99 thing a go when I get a minute or thirty.

Satisfaction
There’s a great feeling of satisfaction at the end of the day when you turn down the fried chicken wings, or ice cream float, or whatever it was that was wafted under your nose, tempting you. A satisfaction in knowing you are one step closer to where you want to be and one choice stronger than who you used to be.
That is what I strive for. Not for a gnawing feeling in the pit of a stomach...
beachbugg asked: Hey there! Just happened upon your blog and I was really excited to find a fellow competitive runner with a weight loss blog! :)
sculpted-bones-deactivated20120 asked: I love the Ninety-Nine challenge/workout you made! I almost got through the 88's Saturday (yesterday) morning, but I couldn't. I tried it again this morning and I did it all! I was so proud of myself!
Thanks for creating it, it's becoming one of my favorites!
