Hi Cgal! I went down the "diet" rabbit hole for awhile. But I pulled myself back out! My crazy brain decided that I needed to lose weight to do a pull up. Ten lbs would be great, more would be even better. The good news is that I quickly realized that dieting isn't the right path. This week I'm back...

Hi oolala! The difference between a chin up and a pull up is the hand positions. I've got 8 weeks to train for a pull up. I still have a long way to go but I'm not giving up! I did a half marathon last weekend. Since I scaled back to 10Ks, it was mentally tough to do 13.1 miles. I crossed the finish...

Hi Over43! Hi Sarah! Thank you for the walk suggestions, I'm going to check them out.. Still working on pull ups. It's kind of frustrating to not be able to complete one yet. I need to relax and trust the process. Still working on Vanilla S. It's kind of frustrating to not be able to complete a 21 d...

One more thing.. One of the owners of the cryotherapy place I go to is an Olympic athlete (yep, I still freeze for 3 min every couple days). Jarin is a sprinter that runs for Trinidad. He will be in Brazil for the summer Olympics. He trains 6 days a week. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday he trains 2X...

My strength trainer is the voice of reason! On Monday night, I was once again attempting to do a dead hang pull up. Another try, another failure. I said to the guy next to me "The only way I'll be able to do this is to lose some weight". The trainer overhead this conversation. He said to me "If you ...

Thanks for the support Over43! 12 weeks until my big pull up challenge. Not there yet but....I'm making progress. I'm working on doing negatives, they're getting easier but will never be easy. Patience Lori, Patience! It's funny, seems like the more I practice pull ups, the more I want to stick to t...

Thanks for the supportive words my No S friends! Tomorrow is my first full week of work since vacation. I'm actually looking forward to the structure. Being on vacation physically causes me to be on vacation mentally. In other words, time to get back to No S! My next feat of strength happens in 15 w...

90.24 miles. Less than 24 hours to go, unless I tumble down a hill, I'm pretty confident I'll get 100 miles completed. If you do 100 miles, you get a belt buckle. The belt buckle gets larger as you complete 100 mile increments. The largest buckle is for 500 miles. Some people on the track will be ge...
