Wordless Wednesay

 

Sometimes I have to fight with the negative talk that goes on in my head.  Once, I can shut her up I know all things are possible.  First 2 miles this morning she told me I should stop.  Finally, around mile 2.5 the positive Kathy was screaming.... CAN!

How do you shut the negative talk up in your head?

Transformation Tuesday...

I have been wanting to get some pictures out from when I was heavier but I just didn't know where to find them.  I didn't save a lot of pictures of myself when I was big and I certainly did not put them on facebook or myspace.  I did find a few half marathon pictures to compare....what do you think?

Half Marathon January 2013

The last few years has been HARD! Everyone thinks that what I do daily is a walk in the park....I will be the first to tell you it is not.  There are many days I can't find the energy to get out of bed and all I was to do is drive to dairy queen for a fattening blizzard (yep, I had that moment on Sunday).  I have to deal with Fat Girl Thinking every single day.....it runs my life sometimes.

Everyone ask Kathy what inspires you?  Everything and everyone inspires me! The fresh air, the golden sun, my healthy legs, the sick children I work with every day...etc.  Basically, I am living the life I want to live because I can.  I don't allow excuses or obstacles rule my life anymore.

Do you see a change in the pictures?

All I can say is HOLY SMOKES... I look GOOD!

Motivational Monday

Ugh Monday morning.. Not my favorite day of the week but it is the day that sets the tone of the week for me.  If I walk around like a zombie I will normally have a terrible week.  If I get up with a positive outlook on how awesome the week will be... I normally have a successful week.  So I have decided to have Monday's here Motivational Monday!  I would love to help set the tone of the week for all of you.

Watch this clip! ENJOY :)

What my schedule looks like this week....

I am three weeks away from running the Nashville Country Music half marathon! I can't WAIT!!!!! I have been wanting to run this race for years but it just never fit my schedule! This year I made sure it worked out but now I feel like I am NOT ready for the race at all.  The next three weeks are going to be intense in both workouts and my work life.  I have been a slacker...time to FOCUS!

Here is my schedule for the week..

Monday-4 miler with Louie. Beast Shoulders. Ab work
Tuesday-5 miler with Louie. Beast Back and Biceps. 
Wednesday-Beast Chest and Triceps. Ab Work. Les Mills Combat
Thursday-6 miler and Yoga. 
Friday-Full Body workout. Turbo Fire
Saturday-11 miler and Yoga. Beachbody meeting
Sunday-Legs. Walk Louie 1 hour.

I will take my day of rest on Monday next week... Time to get my body ready for summer and all my races coming up!
