Focus on the right things!

So going with my Not giving up plan -- I found this little buddy (above) and I thought it was pretty fitting.

So, part one of my plan is as follows: This weekend, I will weigh, measure, and take pics of my self and then the scale is bye bye.

I am thinking I will do 9 weeks to revisit the scale and measurements.

9 weeks is the Dirty Girl Race - so I figure that is a good focus point.

That is part one of my plan.

I will move one to part two tomorrow.

Check back often!

How to do a Basic Squat

11 weeks until race time!

I have been doing squats at work to get some leg work in since I sit at a desk all day.

So here is a picture that indicates the correct form for a squat.

Chest up - Feet shoulder width apart - knees directly over toes - continual line from head to bottom

I do them in sets of ten. Add a kettleball for intensity!

Dirty Girl Race 2013

So, I did it. I joined a race. First race ever. No more chicken here! I have #KodakCourage on my side. I started forming my team. I have a possible 7 people including myself. 3 official (signed up) - 3 unofficial (need to sign up) and 1 on the fence. We have to woo her....

We, also, have another group of girls (7) we know, on another team, that will be attending at the same time.

DIRTY GIRL RACE

Our team is Kodak Courage. We are going to kick butt.

I will keep you posted of the next 12 weeks we have to get ready.
