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 [...]

I have been trying to mix up my workouts and it is hot as H town waaaaay down south, so I am keeping it indoors.  I spontaneously decided to try Zumba again.  I haven’t been to a class in over a year.  I can honestly state that I have not had this much fun working [...]

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 [...]

My back is feeling much better, today, but I still do not feel one hundred percent.  I met Noel at the pool for a swim.  For some reason, I just didn’t feel comfortable going to swim at the pool alone for the first time.  I was worried about having to share a lane with someone [...]

My slack streak officially ended, today.  I tried out the new Wii Active and kudos to Wii.  It is a great work out.  Squats, lunges, bicep curls, boxing, running and walking were all part of the thirty day challenge.  I worked up a sweat and my heart rate was elevated, so it was good.  I have [...]

I have often been told by people that they envy my motivation and doubt they can lose weight or live a healthier lifestyle.  I know that looking at a large amount of weight to lose or certain fitness goals can be very overwhelming.  My advise is to start slow.  If you have lived a very [...]

Weigh In:  Lost .8 (not even a pound) Feelings:  I am very happy with that loss.  I shared with my fellow Weight Watchers members that every little half pound, quarter pound, eighth of a pound; they all add up.  They have added up for me to get to a loss of 70.8 pounds.  I also [...]

I did not make it to the gym, today nor did I run on my treadmill at home.  I chaperoned a field trip and didn’t have time to make it to work out.  I thought I would run when I got home, but I was too exhausted with tons of stuff to do.  I haven’t [...]

I made it to the gym, today.  I took Sunday off, being that it is the official day of rest.  My work out pretty much sucked.  The drop off of gym goers in November and December does not apply to Nashville.  Marathon training has begun in full force apparently.  The treadmills were full with runners.  [...]

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 [...]
