Random Wednesday: Fall is around the corner
Happy Random Wednesday,
Wow, how did it get to be Wednesday already. ?
So did you know that Subway now has multi-grain flatbread? I am so excited. I mean REALLY excited...probably too excited.
I am heading to Charlotte this week. I start the training position on Monday. I will be taking Summer stuff, but I started going through my Fall clothes. I am glad that I am going south. I don't want to cover up my body so much.
Pumpkin Spice comes out next week...just sayin...someone has a free drink waiting for her at Starbucks...I wonder what she's waiting to use it on...
Sometimes I want to run away and become a chocolatier. Possibly a dream job. But, I would probably eat it all.
Scales are tough. It's important to know your range. It's important to face it when you've avoided it for years (decades). Do you remember when I talked about stepping on the scale for the work weight loss challenge. I didn't look. I had not been on a scale in 15 years. I had absolutely no idea how much I weighed. I was guessing. The lady who charted our progress was the only one who knew. I told her I would look at the number when I lost 20 lbs. I was happy to hit that mark. And then I cried when I found out how much I weighed. Even after losing 20 pounds I was still heavier than I thought I was all of those years.
The scale is going down slowly. What it says is not important. I have noticed something lately. My Medium shirts are getting big. It's weird to think because I still have big boobs. How can big boobs fit in small shirts? Well the rest of me is small too.
I applied to volunteer with the Girls on the Run program in Charlotte. I was very excited that they wanted to talk to me about a coaching position. Then I learned that the 5K at the end of the program is the day of the Marathon. I was so sad.
After a little more discussion I can be an Assistant Coach this season. It will kill me to miss their 5K, but I will enjoy the 10 weeks prior. :-)
I am CRAVING guacamole. CRAVING it!
This week I had the job of writing my bio and selecting my photos for the Training Website. The photos were a little tough. How do I choose? If it was just me I would be fine, but the other trainers with their amazing bodies are on there too. Gah it was stressful.
While I was looking through the pictures I found lots with long hair and I missed it. I also saw lots of pictures of really short hair and I missed it. I am a hair mess.
Many people neglect working their lower back. It's extremely important, especially if you lift heavy items regularly (grocery bags, kids, etc).
Have a Blessed Night

Trainer's Tip
Many people neglect working their lower back. It's extremely important, especially if you lift heavy items regularly (grocery bags, kids, etc).
- Lie face down on a mat, with your arms fully extended above your head and your legs fully extended behind you.
- Lift your chest, arms and legs off the floor by arching your back. Only the tops of your quads and your lower abdomen should be in contact with the floor.
- Hold for a count of 2 while squeezing your abdominals and obliques.
- Return to the starting position for a count of one, then repeat.
Have a Blessed Night
