2014 Official Chaz Fitness Challenge
- Thread starter Julee
- Start date
Ran as far as I could, which was more than I was expecting since I have a bit of a cold and shark week just started, but holy hell. I am so out of shape, lol. I got a quarter of a mile in 2:45, then walked an additional .75mi. Going to shoot for three tenths of a mile tomorrow or the next day, and continue upping it from there. Hopefully I'll be able to do a full mile without stopping in a couple of weeks.
Can we change the title from "weight loss" to "fitness"?
Walked around the dog park and chuckit'd for about an hour and a half yesterday! Saw lots if awesome dogs. Doing it again tomorrow.
Not sure what I'm going to do tonight, but I think I am going to hold off on running until my period is done, because ow cramps.

Nice!
I've been back to running lately. I'm up to 4 miles a day now. Used to be 8, but I'm getting there.
Weightlifting is going well. I've stagnated a lot, but the muscle building portion is a really long process anyway. I'm up to 191 pounds, so it'll be time to cut back on eating again to drop back down under 10% body fat and see if I gained some. I'm hoping I gained a couple pounds at least.

There's nothing embarrassing about running being hard. I've been doing it on and off since before I was even a teenager. It takes some time to get used to it for anyone! Just keep at it. It doesn't get easier, but it lasts longer.
My dog hates going running with me. And he's a terrible running partner even on the best days. He gets bored easily. I could train this to some extent but, it's just no fun feeling like you're forcing someone to come along.
I enjoyed running with my boy, Ollie, before he passed. Priscilla was too young to ever have gone running with me before she passed away at only a year old.

P gets bored. He'll go, of course, he will do anything I ask quite happily, but after about the first mile he starts getting bored. I'm not fast enough for him so he basically ends up sort of trotting along and clearly wishes for something more engaging for his brain. ;P I run to shut my brain OFF so I understand why it's not very exciting for him.
Auggie hates it but he's not built for running on pavement, which is where a majority of my running is done. I've never tried with Pepper because that just sounds like a horrible idea.

I've started lifting at the gym, am getting my upper body strength back and semi-murdered my legs today. Didn't want to go too hard because I'm snowboarding on Wdnesday and that's a hell of a leg work out on it's own.
Also, running to me is like hiking a mountain. While I'm doing it , I hate it and my life and it sucks but I feel so accomplished afterwards. Sawyer ran with me for awhile but he hates running on leash and especially on pavement, so I've had to start doing most of my running alone.
I'm only down 5lbs from this time last month, but I'm noticing a decent difference in how my clothes fit again, so toning is going well.
