Pre-Session C

So, I'm training for this run for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. It's a half Marathon, and I have to raise at least $4,300.00 in order to participate. As of today, I've broken through my first grand!!! YAY!!! If you'd like to contribute to my fundraising efforts visit, and get your peeps to visit either my Facebook group "For a Good Cause! Gluckle's Run for Crohn's and Colitis!!!" to learn about the many different ways you all can help, or visit my donation page:

And now, here's another classic:

COLLARBONE COLLARBONE COLLARBONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




OK, maybe not the body part some of you dirty-minded people were hoping I'd be talking about today. BUT...my point is that I can see mine. It's funny the little things you notice when you focus in on yourself.

Welcome back to the third installment of "Workout Buddy Needed," where your input matters. Before I started losing weight, I could barely see my neck under my double chin, and now I can see my collarbone sticking out more and more every week...it's like I'm a human being...a human being with an actual skeleton and everything.

So this week, to keep this progress going, I've upped my workout. I've decided that stretching every morning before I get out of bed is very important.

(Oh yeah, I can so do that...)

I've also been making sure that I take two big sips of water from my big water jug when I wake up. Both of these actions have helped wake my ass up everyday this week. Also, on days I don't go to Curves, I try to fit in at least 15 minutes of exercise on my stationary bike, or/and a few of the strength training exercises I learned about from Spark People (www.sparkpeople.com) .

After a week of changing up my routine, I had this huge burst of energy over the weekend. Plus, it was a beautiful day on Sunday...the perfect day to start running...of course, it started snowing again on Monday, so I can forget about running for some time now.

But this burst of energy brings me to this week's video moment:Workout Buddy Needed Blog Video #3


(Too much energy + not enough time to use it = this video, and yes, that mirror is very unstable...not my bedroom...)

So here's the TOPIC OF THE WEEK: It's a love-fest!!! What do you love about yourself? This can be body parts, strange talents, personality quirks, anything! And yes...feel free to be dirty-minded if that's what makes you happy. In order to change what we don't like about ourselves (for example, my weight), we must be willing to love ourselves first...love yourself enough to change for the better.

So let's be narcissistic today!!! Focus in on your favorite qualities. I'll get us started. Other than the emergence of my collarbone after its long hibernation under flab, I love my eyes, my understanding of the world around me, my determination, my love of music and singing, my lips, my hair (it's improved a lot over the last few years), my ability to grow my nails really really quick, and my dimples.

Alright, now it's your turn. Show us that you love yourself. Flaunt what you've got! Post pics if you want. Don't be afraid to love the amazing and unique creature that is you!

OK gang, hit the showers, and I'll see you next session!
Your Workout Buddy,
Roxy!

P.S. The results of my Curves weigh in...from weigh-in to weigh-in I've lost about 4 pounds!!! Now, it's time to focus because I'm almost under 220. So excited!!!
