[Silly Sally]

What slucks is how I’ve become such a slug.

Not really lazy, just squishy, peri-menopausal, bored, and likely: boring.

I’ve done BFL a few more times since winning “Top 2000” in 2001 (got a cool suitcase, woohoo!), but find it hard to maintain “for life”, especially when life hands me lemons and I’m plum out of meringue. Plus, I got to using bigass weights and hurt my shoulder, back, and neck. Shoulder still hurts, even 2 years later.

Most recently I trained for and ran a half marathon using Couch to 5K (C25K), then One Hour Runner (OHR), then Hal Higdon’s Half Training. It took me a year. You’d think with all that running, I’d be lithe & leggy.

Sigh.

After so many attempts to make myself over I think … I’ve finally uncovered the indefatigable, evil biotch who sabotages me EVERY time. The two-faced ‘ho brings beer and queso into the house just when I start to see progress and feel really hopeful. (Evil skank KNOWS I’m weak for that stuff.) It’s hard to admit I’ve got a problem with her, since she appears to have it all together. But, nobody knows her like I do. She’s not who they think. THEY don’t know how twisted and full of excuses she really is.

So, I come to NRL4W with many mini-goals that all lead up to one big goal: BEAT the livin’ snot out of her! Show her who’s boss, once and for all.

My plan is to use lighter weights than before, do as many exercises as possible on the BOSU, and do all reps slowly, ultra controlled, with PERFECT form. (So, don’t feel bad for my pitiful girly weights – unless you want to!) I will get a handle on my love for chocolate, beer, chips and cheese, and improve the quality & quantity of my intake, one step at a time. And have a good time doing it.

Yes, E.T., I WILL be stronger than you!
