  1. This is not really a fitness goal but it is a personal one. Last night I finally finished my first novel "Remus"!!! I couldn't believe it, I actually sat back in my chair at the computer and cried. Then I went to bed because it was 2 am. Anyway, I had decided awhile ago that I would put my book up on Amazon.com as a Kindle book. It fills me with extraordinary pride to have finally finished one of my biggest goals. Now if you will allow me some shameless advertising Here is the link to my pride and joy. Remus (First Vampire Chronicles) by Kiersten Elder http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007HIHXWQ/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_kGOvpb1VR1DFG Now I will embark on my next adventure of book two and my very first 5k in May!
  2. Absolutely. I will be doing nano this year. I always end up procrastinating to the point that I never actually finish anything.
  3. I love the yoga x! But like most of the other workouts I'm exhausted halfway through and can't finish. I'm hoping the next round will be better! I just got through with the first half of legs and back. My entire body is sore now from the last few workouts. Are there any good replacements for the energy drink that comes with the program? I can't stand the taste of it.
  4. I have a wheat allergy and I have to try to stay away from wheat for health reasons not just dietary preference. The problem is that gluten free can get to be expensive, especially where I live where there is not a lot of demand. I keep trying to make my own "granola" bars but I can't get them to stick together like a bar should without making then more like fig newtons (which might not be bad if I could get it to taste right like that). I have some recipes but the trick to getting some of them to stick together is to load it up with corn starch and sugar and any other too sweet not good for you substance you can think of. Honey doesn't seem to work right either.
  5. I got through chest arms and back today! It nearly killed me but I managed that bonus round! W00T! It feels great to achieve that even if I am a bit sore.
  6. First off, I'm done with the novel just trying to get through a rewrite which is proving to be the worst part of the whole thing. Coming up with the story and getting it down doesn't really require all that much effort. Finding the creative drive to go over it all again, especially with the prospect of changing or even removing characters/scenes is a task that almost seems equivalent to climbing a mountain (or running that first mile ;P). Second I have kept up with all other goals except the running bit because it has been 98 degrees in the hot humid Georgia summer and the only time its been cool is at six am when its storming with thunder and lightening. Right now I do not have a gym membership to run on a treadmill inside other than my college gym, and I can't really afford another gym. I'm also at home right now and the school gym is not convenient. I'm going to get out when I can and walk the dogs for the next two weeks but I don't intend to run and over do it in the heat. It is a bit discouraging to do that but I am a bit afraid of running in this oppressive heat.
  7. Any tips on combating the soreness?
  8. Today hasn't turned out well for me I ended up skipping my workout because I overslept. I still have a paper to write a final to take and left my gym clothes at home. After today though, No Excuses! I have two weeks until fall semester.
  9. Really? That wasn't meant to be a Spoiler. I was merely commenting on the fact that Snape has always meant something to me. I was trying to avoid spoilers actually. I have always had an affinity for the villains in stories. As a writer myself I feel that the villain is the most important part of the story. I think Snape really cemented that idea for me so he could still end up being the bad guy and I would love him.
  10. It was the end of an era and signified the end of my childhood. I went to the midnight showing with some friends and cried through most of it. I for one, grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione. And I absolutely knew that Snape was a good guy from day one. What about y'all?
  11. My biggest problem is finding a place to run. I have my school gym and using the treadmill I've managed to get myself to the point where I run most of the mile. But now I am out for two weeks and might have to either drive to a safe park or just run around my pasture. Luckily I have the nike+ gear and will be able to keep track of the distance without any trouble either way.
  12. It's time for me to stop making excuses and start making goals. I have been recently told I am allergic to both wheat and beef and need to get to a higher body weight in a healthy manner. For Fitness: I want to complete the first six weeks of P90X I will run a mile or more I will gain 5 lbs in muscle mass For Diet: I MUST stop eating all wheat products I will stop eating beef I will eat more meat from other sources My overall life goal: I will finish my novel Get that novel published And make monies at it
  13. I'm a Criminal Justice major and thoroughly enjoy the subject. I have the opportunity to be in a program that allows me to focus on the investigation/profiling side of law enforcement rather than legal stuff but I do remember those heart wrenching moments of my first two years of college. In the end the thing that really helped me get through the angst and boredom was the discovery of something that I find absolutely intellectually stimulating to this day. I discovered the joy of words. Specifically the joy of words in the hands of the very capable Stephen Fry, the ultimate nerd in my opinion. Check out QI (It stands for "Quite Interesting") on YouTube and if you want to see some brilliant maneuvering of censor rules there's the clip understanding barman http://youtu.be/2BjDmEhbPLY
  14. I'm new to fitness in general. Gym was my worst class in high school (next to math) and I was never able to get motivated enough to settle into a workout routine. I am still finding that I have trouble. I am through with the embarrassing fact that though I have always been thin and have always had a great looking body, I am not any where near being in shape. It took me three years to gain weight (I went from 105 lbs to maintaining a comfortable 120) and I have struggled with a recent diagnoses of celiac disease and an intolerance to beef. Now that I've figured out my diet I need to figure out my workout. Hence my interest in this website. I'm hoping to find support in a form that is not just an inaccurate computer program and gain some serious muscle mass. I'm a woman who wants to join the Air Force and move on to Police. So I need to not just be in shape I need to be at 110%.
