I'm still irked I can't find my original post about my challenge, but oh well, what can I do? In 365+ days of blogging, I may have lost or had posts eaten 3 times. I think I can let this go. Moving on...
If I said take a guess @ what I'm really good @ and you've read my site for longer than say 6 months you'd know the answer to this one. If you read my site for about 6 weeks, you're guess may be, "Making Subway sandwiches?"
*SLAP* :

I'm good @ designing workout routines, I love plugging exercises into monthly charts and strategizing how I'd increase my strength and stamina overtime.
Tuesday I finished writing up my workout routine for the next 3 months and it's a doozy. I may not do the eating thing well...or staying consistent w/workouts...or always drink my water...or get enough rest...bloody hell why am I even doing this site?
I digress.
Making workout challenges is my forte. I even get a kick outta naming them. Letsee, last year I had Operation Crease Begone and then there was a Mission Meltdown Back Fat oh and who could ever forget the 3 Week @rse Kickin' challenge. Alas, there'll be no creative names this year b/c I'm all about the quarter.
As w/all my challenges I start off fairly easy, and increase it each week till I am busting it out the last week. My fancy chart is printed out and while I'd show it to you, it's not really web friendly. When I'm done, I may turn it into a PDF and post it just so you can see how intricate it is, lots of little code names and ancient markings all across the pages. In the meantime, I'll dust off my online training journal and this weekend post an overview of what I'll be doing and of course, keep a log.
Speaking of keeping a log, that thing actually came in handy. For the few months I was slacking, it sat there mocking me of how consistent I used to be. I was tempted to just scrap the whole thing. Luckily I didn't. Tuesday I needed the length of time for something I used to do, like run so I went back to see my how long it took to run 2 miles. Wait. I used to run 2 miles? Me?
::looking over shoulder::
Holy shit.
Wow.
So yea, keep those logs.
In other news, and this I barely talk about b/c it exposes a personality defect I have and to explain it would make me seem way weird(er) than I normally come across, so I kept it to myself. But remember that free thingamabob I got a few months back? And how I never mention it. Ever. *sigh* it's b/c I don't use it. I never felt I deserved to use it and was always saving it for later. Later when I did something really great like run 5 miles. It's on my desk still in it's original wrapper 
I'm pretty good @ ignoring things.
But starting Sunday, I'm going to *gulp* use it. And not b/c I deserve to or earned it, but b/c I want to. I even went out yesterday afternoon and bought a cute armband holder, in black, which is kismet b/c black is my favorite color for my fitness toys and it was the last one in stock.
Last weekend, I finally downloaded iTunes and all I need to do is go thru the 1000 songs on my PC (that # does not include songs from my CD collection) and make my playlist so I can get my groove on when I get my workout on.
Today's final thought: Keep track of your workouts, save those logs & black is Renee's favorite color for her fitness toys. Oh...and later tonight, there will be livebloging of The Biggest Loser.

01.26.06 | Renee commented: Aww Diva, sorry to hear that about your gym. Makes me want to be a personal trainer even more. The challenge will have a few more rounds...so you are always welcome to come onboard 
Oh and no, I'm not from England. I just watch a lot of movies and am very very impressionable...
jj - heh, technically I should call it tape delayed live blogging since I write it up offline and post in in one swoop...how'd you like the show?
Oh marta...hang on...I gotta dig down to the old time's sake smileys just for you...

Will you come to NYC and design my program? My weights are in the corner looking at me and laughing their little knobs off.

Hi Renee, still reading your blog religiously. And wish I had you to write out a work out routine for me. I joined a gym, but feel totally lost, not sure how many reps I'm supposed to be doing, what weight and what the machines do.. It's a independant gym, and whilst everyone is friendly, I feel like a sq peg in a round hole, and like everyone knows the secrets except me............ sigh..
If I could motivate myself to be a part of the challenge I would, but I have part laziness excuse syndrome where the body would be willing if the mind wasn't so programmed in saying, hmm later.... your tired.
I noticed that you used the word bloody in your last entry, so I've got to ask you, if your from England?
