I have come to a realization about fitblr...
Whenever I have longer stints where I don’t train obsessively and don’t compulsively check the fitblr thread here on tumblr, I feel better about myself and I feel better about my body.
But then I come back here, and it tends to make me feel like shit about myself… All I see is images of what I feel like is unobtainable bodies and it does nothing more for my self confidence than...

My first Nike Training Challenge workout
I completed the Get toned >intermediate > Circuit Challenge.
It honestly didn’t look like much when I looked at it. But when the are few or no breaks, a circuit can be a killer. I am lucky enough that my boyfriend has dumbbells at home, so I can do most of the workouts in my living room.
I would definitely recommend it. I got a good sweat going.

My opinion on the Biggest Loser contestants...
They chose to leave because they felt it was unfair to bring back the eliminated contestants back and let them compete for one of them to win a spot back in the game.
This happens every year! Ali Vincent won because of this plot twist. She was eliminated and won her place back in the game because she had lost the most weight out of all the eliminated women in her series.
In the “Series of...

I also bought a Nike+ Senson, so that I can better track my runs. Finally I can get back to my running, after I got a big old hole in the back of my old running shoes.

We'll Have the Time of Our Lives: 1) Why are... →
hardorhome:
1) Why are cheeseburgers and huge jars of mayonaisse even available at the Biggest Loser ranch?
2) Chris is FORTY-TWO? I thought she was sixty until makeover week; I now admit she looks her age, if not a bit younger.
3) I went to the gym today and did the elliptical for a while, then watched…
The contestants were still in Washington DC, and Chris was in a hotel room. My...

1 week after completing the half-marathon
My legs feel better, but for a few days there my legs were completely trashed. There is no doubt in my mind that I would NOT be able to complete a marathon, unless I was to train for maybe a year or so and also changed my diet a lot.
Now I have made some major changes to my workout plan, but I still plan to exercise 4-5 days a week. But since my joints have been really arthritic and sore I might...

Wow! Thanks :) It still surprises me that I could be an inspiration to anyone.
I want to run, but my body has other ideas

About spray tans?!
I am part norwegian, part english and fairly light skinned. But not like a redhead kind of white. Just pale :P
So if I am quite white, and get a medium spray tan, will I get very orange or can it look real and nice? I don’t want to end up looking like an oompa loompa!

I have bad news and good news.
The bad news first: I am stopping the “Half-marathon in 72 days-challenge”. The reason for this is my joints. You expects a certain amount of “pain” when you work out, but I am pretty sure that the amount of pain I get in my knees, hips and back when I run more than 10k is the kind of pain that might lead to chronic injuries and more bad things.
The good news, however: I...

I have difficulty with my friends who are not...
I feel like whenever I am talking about training, weight loss, goals, food or anything else that I also talk about here on my tumblr, most people become impatient or show their lack of interest with it.
I know it’s sometimes hard to relate to something someone else is going through if you have nothing to compare it to in your own life. And sometimes I think it also might the fact that...

A little overview of the second half of this last...
Day 40 of my 72 days challenge to run a half-marathon:
I took the day off, hoping it would replenish my energy supply and make me feel a little better, but it didn’t help at all.
Day 41 of my 72 days challenge to run a half-marathon:
I went to the gym with the intention to get on the elliptical and burn as many calories as I was supposed to run off. But I only got to 300 (not bad for being...
