I'm popping in late today, but better late than never. I had an early appointment with my chiropractor about my heel/Achilles pain issues. It was a very good visit. I'm confident that we'll get this issue fixed and hopefully soon.
Today is Wednesday and y'all know what that means--Workout Wednesday! I'm going to do a little something different today. Mother Nature has really wreaked havoc on my best laid workout plans lately. You're probably thinking, what does that have to do with "workout Wednesday". Well, I'll tell you. It has everything to do with it. You see, the past two weeks have been very cold with minimal sunshine. That equals zero energy and motivation for me. All I want to do at the end of the day is go home and put on my warm pajamas. So, my workouts have been pretty much non-existent lately. That's why I haven't done my #movenourishbelieve challenge update from last week, yet. Hopefully, we won't have much more cold weather to deal with, but if we do, here are some tips to help keep you motivated to workout in cold weather. I found this great article to share with you: http://m.active.com/triathlon/articles/15-ways-to-stay-motivated-this-winter I'm going to spin class tonight after work and I'm staying for the Urban Fit boot camp style class afterward. We're expecting much warmer temps over the next several days, so I'm hoping that will help keep me active. I might even be able to wear shorts on my run tomorrow night!
What are your thoughts about the BL finale?
I am sad for the BL winner, I think there is no way she can be healthy at that weight and or maintain it. I hope she finds a happier weight and becomes happier.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say that it, but I think it was all about the money.
DeleteI think Rachel's personal weight loss is pretty commendable although she does look pretty skinny compared to how she was before. I do think people tend to loose sight of the fact that 1) everyone's fitness and weight loss journey is different and some have more extreme results than others but also 2) this is a competition and those who enter, do so to win it. Now that she won people are complaining that she did so for money. Well, this is part of the competition. I don't know, I guess it seems to me that as long as she is healthy she should be very proud of her accomplishment. Now if she did so starving or via an eating disorder that is a whole other story that i do not approve of.

HI, Maria. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. Her accomplishment is commendable. I guess she did whatever she had to do to get the job done.
DeleteStaying motivated in the winter is tough, which is why I joined the MNB Challenge (and the chance at clothes, lol). I always sign up for spring races so I have something to aim for during the winter months. As far as BL, I think it is ironic that someone who was probably criticized for being overweight is now being criticized for losing too much weight. Personally, yes, I do think she looks too skinny and I hope she is making the right choices from here. But I also feel bad for her as a fellow woman, because it seems we just can't win, you know?
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for stopping by. I agree with you. I think women are darned if they do, and darned if they don't.
DeleteSigning up for virtual runs is a good way to stay motivated in the winter! Also finding workouts to do inside where it's warm!
ReplyDeleteI've even struggled with indoor workouts this winter. All I wanted to do was put on my warm pj's and snuggle under my blanket. I'd like to know more about virtual races!
DeleteHaving an early appointment might deprive you of additional hours of sleep, but I'm sure it's all worth it. It’s nice to know that you had a successful chiropractic session. How are you now? Hope the pain in your heels has already subsided. If not, I hope you'll get well soon. :)

Hi Vanessa. I'm still having issues. I'm taking a week off from running to see if that helps
