I am always amazed when I compare the calorie count of "treats" like GS cookies and the amount of work it takes to burn those calories . . . it really puts the decision in perspective!

That is a really inspiring before picture! You HAVE come so far!

The push ups sound absolutely killer. I cannot even do one girly pushup yet. You should post arm pictures :)

Man, I have sooooo far to go before I catch up to you with the workouts. But the exciting thing is, if I keep pushing, one day I'll be as awesome as you!!

I love that before pic Shelley...it really is a great reminder of just how far you've come. Very proud of you girl. :)

Love the 'adult onset athletics' - I still have a ways to go and can't believe I waited so long to get the bug :)

You have done amazing with the running and gym.

You look so different, isn't it funny? I was trying on old pants today to paint in and I haven't been nearly as stupendous as you (only 10% of my body weight down), but those pants were so comically baggy in the thighs and seat. And those were my skinny pants. The power of NOT eating Thin Mints a sleeve at a time!

It's hard to believe you were such a larger than life person in that photo.
If that were my desk calendar, it's be dripping wet with coffee or something. Not Dove or See's or GS cookies. I have been paying much more attention to the calories one has to burn in order to make up for a small snack. It is amazing. I thought it would be an interesting if not impossible endeavor (for myself) to spend the day eating good foods (wholesome) and then spend the in between meal time exercising off what I had eaten. I suppose I'd have to eat while exercising to exercise enough.

Holy Burpies, Batman! You workouts are incredible....I am slack-jawed.

erm, Girl Scouts have a new reduced fat cookie. 5 cookies equal 100 calories. Called Daisy Go Rounds. :: whistles to self ::

LOL

WOW! Once again, you amaze me with the workouts that you do -- and keep going back for more!! I'd feel guilty if I hadn't done some very good (for me) strength training today. Reading about it will definitely make me think twice if an opportunity comes to buy the dreaded cookies.

Ok...I will take my two sets of 8 repetitions and slink away in shame....lol.

Adult Onset Athletics, I think it is Adult Onset Animal!

So great!

You are so amazing. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I'm reading your workout routine and I know my jaw about hit the floor. Wow! You're lik Xena the Warrior Princess or something. how in the world to you do all of that? Seriously?!

I would love to have a personal trainer to push me to the outer limits. maybe one day. Is this at a gym or what? And I LOVE the way they make up themed workouts. Makes it fun. Well, as fun as torture can be I guess.;)

I love that picture of you. It shows how far you've come. You keep it up girl. And I LOVE the Adult Onset Athletics title. LOL Brilliant

It's the same: The Netherlands is the offical name and Holland the more popular name.

I'm so happy the bra fits and that you're enjoying it.

I'm so amazed every week again what you pull of at your workouts. I know I'm far away from you when it comes to fitness and I admire you for all the things you can do.
