Yes two vlogs in one day and I am running 3x a week - I know you think you are at the wrong site :)
Today I walked out to get in the car and head to a lunch date and my car was dead. I left my lights on all night :( My husband wasn't going to be home until late and I had to get the kiddo before 6pm so I called in Miss Kelly who has a pair of jumper cables and asked her to venture my way for lunch.
Neither of us had a clue what to do and had fathers telling us not to do this and that... The Result - Two Running Cars and a TON of LAUGHS. We of course had to capture this on video because we want you to laugh WITH us and have another example of you can a) have fun doing anything and b) do anything you put your mind to!!
This is the same video you will see if you watch Kelly. :)
Yes I still don’t have a camera. I have been working on closing up an old job before moving to a new one on Monday. There just haven’t been enough hours in the day because I have been KICKING BUTT with my workouts.
Last week was my best week of training EVER. I burned 2400 calories on the Polar and I completed my first 5k in under 30 minutes. A great place to .... Yes I took a 3 day break after that. Wasn’t the plan or what I wanted but LIFE HAPPENS. It is this thought and that made me think about how many of us can get down when LIFE gets in the way of our plans. I just shared my thoughts on this with a friend who had a bad day when trying on clothes. I thought we all have these days so I wanted to share this as my post.
They are one pair of pants. The cut could be different or the fabric. You can't sync your self esteem and progress over 1 pair of pants. Go back and look at the things you have done and focus there.
Even when you are "skinny" or at your goal weight - you are going to have days where you don't feel pretty, or you have a zit, or you ate the wrong thing. Shit happens. You can't feed that monster.... close the door and move on. You are absolutely entitled to a bad day - we all have them. But it is just that a bad day. Wake up this morning and start a new day with a fresh attitude and kick some butt. remember focus on and give energy to what you WANT!
I no longer see myself as fat or skinny. If I notice a fat conscious moment I immediately switch my focus to strong vs. weak. I just go towards focusing on getting stronger.
This is not a race... it's a journey - let's enjoy it together.

I had to go make sure Kelly could move after our bootcamp on Saturday. She was SORE!! That ended in this random hilarious blog of her and I and I was awarded the Wednesday WOOT Factor on her blog :) HOW AWESOME!! Been blogging less than a month and have the opportunity to meet more of her great friends!
Check out the answers to my questions about fitness at www.kellyolexa.com
One of the things a great friend told me on blogging was that readers love fridge tours. So I thought I would be nosy and see what was in Kelly's fridge and take a pic for everyone with the phone. I gasped when I opened the fridge and Kelly quickly ran to her defense and said that she doesn't drink the coke anymore. But can you see what I was gasping at?? :)
I was actually laughing at the motivation sitting in her fridge. Yep her favorite orange bikini! What tricks do you guys use to making you pause before making a questionable food or drink choice? Feel free to send me a pic of your fridge if you have a hint in there ;)
I am off for a easy run this morning and then a TRX class tonight. And yes I am sleeping like 8-9 hours a night so I can recover from the kick butt workouts lately. More funny Amy/Kelly randomness to come this week.

Oh goodness... what a GREAT day! I am soooo proud of my friend Kelly - she said she couldn't run, it gave her side stitches and today she kicked BUTT at her FIRST 5k in 32:54! Wow. What an awesome thing to be a part of!!
So I woke up this morning at 6am and it was pouring, cold, and rainy. On any other 5k I would have forgone my $25 and went back to bed. But I guess that wouldn't be much of an example. So we both got each other up and moving and there in time. And ran in the rain.... something I have NEVER done before and quite frankly felt I would not enjoy.
Instead what did I get? A personal best time at a 5k ever! WHOA!! I could hear my mom in my ear saying see Amy this is why we try everything once. I almost crushed the 30 minute mark on a 5k. Another one of my "nevers". So here is to kicking off some great training to Vegas and to my running divas -- I'm catching up! ;) And 30:30 -- I can't wait to beat you again!
Enjoy our crazy post run vlog at Kelly's house. I did find out that is it my MAC camera that is messing up my vlogs so stayed tuned while I upgrade equipment. :)
