I hit Body Pump this morning and I am loving that I can already feel how much stronger I am getting.  My limbs are not reaching fatigue until much closer to the end of the extreme amounts of repetitions.  I am using a little more weight, not much, but a slight increase, my squats are [...]

It has been two weeks since I have worked out with the exception of running the half marathon.  I was swamped with getting ready for a trip to TX, which was great.  It has taken some time for my foot to heal since I injured it running a mere 13.1 miles.  I haven’t wanted to [...]

I did something that I have never done before.  I went to Weight Watchers on Saturday morning for a weigh in even though I had devoured the four donuts and various other disgusting fat and calorie laden fare.  I had missed weigh in on Thursday since I had to have my leg looked at by the [...]

I have taken the time to reflect over the past week.  I have managed to maintain my weight and not gain an ounce even though I have eaten out a lot, this week.  This is a rundown of how often I ate out at restaurants: Tuesday: Lunch with my friend, Liza (J. Christopher’s) Meal: scrambled [...]

I had a hard time getting motivated this morning.  I watched that show I Survived on Animal Planet, last night.  I thought it would be uplifting and exciting.  I read the information that it would be about a mom that fought off a black bear to save her kids in TN.  I had a dream [...]

Today was an amusing day of working out.  My friend Kandi joined me at the gym and after warming up, I showed her some new moves using dumbbells and resistance bands to work her upper body.  She was cracking me up the whole time.  Her grunting, moaning, and tiny bit of resistance was very amusing [...]

We were invited to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving.  It was really nice. We had so much fun and the food was fantastic.  We dined on homemade Mexican fare and some yummy reduced fat cheesecake, reduced fat pumpkin pie, and pecan pie.  Being with fun people and good friends reminded me that the holidays are [...]

My friend and I met up for a hike, today.  My lower back and hips were really hurting, today.  I made it through about a two and a half hour hike.  A lot of this hike was up hill.  My ass is sure sore today as well as my legs. I think I am going [...]

I got on the scale today and all of that eating out caught up with me.  I gained two pounds.  Really?  It takes me two weeks to lose two pounds, but a few days to pack it on.  I have to say, I don’t even care that much.  It just makes me work that much [...]

I have a goal set for tomorrows race.  I would like to run it in 35 minutes and think that it’s highly possible.  I don’t know if it will be fast enough to out run a hot dog, donut, hamburger, ice cream cone or whatever costumed runner there will be, but I’ll get there one [...]
