a little competition...

{day seis} tony and i ran 3 miles in the morning and he actually ran the whole thing. i'm envious. i'll get there. i did finish faster. 38 minutes. after we ran we did some sit ups. i did 40 and he did 41. i think to prove a point or maybe as he likes to say, use some reverse psychology on me. whatever it is, it's working cause i will do more than 40 next time. then he did some weights while i did my buns workout to help contain the ortiz booty . now we're off to eat some barbecue!


FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2009
{day cinco} today i lovingly did nothing as far as working out is concerned. tony treated me to a nice valentine's dinner at the alsatian restaurant in castroville, tx. we sat outside and the view was beautiful and relaxing. and relaxation is an important key to any workout program...

no regretting...

{day cuatro} i spent most of the evening "making" tony's little valentine something something and i was so tired when i finished. i wanted to go straight to bed and i couldn't help but think that i would have to blog that i did NOTHING. ugh. cringe. i'm on a roll, i don't want to mess it up when i really could work out. it's not like i had something else i had to do. so i got on the elliptical for a 48 minute go and lucky for me millionaire matchmaker was on. 48 minutes flew. glad we set the machine smack in front of the tv.

she's like the wind...

{day tres} okay. not like the wind. more like a choo chootrain. chuga chuga chuga chugging on and on. at least that's what it felt like running today. my half way point was nice and flat and running felt sooo good. almost like the wind and then i got a cramp. one of those small annoying cramps in the middle of the foot as it flexes. funny thing is that when i ran on monday, the exact same thing happened. right after my half way point, the run was so easy and then i got that same cramp. i wonder why. i ran/walked and took an easy going 41 minutes. i know someday i'll get to run the whole thing once i get used to those hills. and although the end felt great and i felt like the ease queen ortiz, the beginning was more huff puff ortiz, not fun...

wow...

{day dos} i don't remember the elliptical being that torturous and burning. i have to admit i felt more motivated yesterday to get moving but, nevertheless i got it did. 48 minutes of omg-ing up and down faster and slower. i put in some 30 second crazy speed intervals. it was easy to do while watching predator vs. alien. ugh. the sweat felt really good but my arms and legs feel like jello. so i think that's a good thing.

everything starts from something...

{day uno} i just signed up for the self countdown to the challenge. i downloaded some get moving tunes and walked myself up and down some hills in the neighborhood. i walked a good three miles and ran here and there. i finally opened up my wedding workout video and got my seven bucks worth. yeah.
