The other day I was reading a blog post from Roni that caught my eye. First, let me say that I found Roni’s blogs because she loves to cook healthy food (check out GreenLiteBites) and then I discovered her weight blog (Roni’sWeigh). She has a long and interesting history and I highly recommend all of [...]

I took a Zumba fitness class today for the first time. I had a pretty good time, admittedly. Even though I have two left feet and am very visual (I don’t take audio cues very well), I didn’t feel like I was an idiot. I was able to actually shake my hips and get comfortable [...]

It’s been a while since I mentioned fitness here. That’s not because I quit working out (I don’t think I could ever do that!). I am officially at a maintenance level in my diet and exercise. I still go at least 5 days a week. I have been replacing one day each week with tennis. [...]

While at the fitness center this morning, I decided to get on the treadmill and walk. I had already warmed up and lifted weights and the Young and the Restless was about to come on…sooooo—off the the treadmill I went.
I’m walking along…a little huffin’ and puffin’ when this lady gets onto the treadmill next [...]

Okay, if you have read this blog for a while or know me well, you know that I am pretty “flighty.” A couple of weeks ago I started running 3 miles. I was quite proud of myself and doing well, except that everytime I ran, I would spend a day with a sore hip [...]

I’m getting heavier…
While I would normally not like this result, I am realizing that it is occurring because my muscles are getting bigger. My tummy is getting smaller, but my quads, biceps, triceps and neck muscles are all bigger. I can work with this. It just means I will always be a size 6-8…never any [...]

I did it today!!! 3 miles on the treadmill in 30 minutes!!! I am so proud of myself. After doing this today, I have decided that I think I will try to get in 3 miles twice a week. I’ll work up to 4 miles each time. With that said, I am currently working on [...]

I had my first (and only) appointment with a personal trainer as part of signing up at our new workout facility. I had a lot of fun and got some great info! She gave me a workout plan that I will start on Monday. It is based on me answering some questions about my goals.
My [...]

I got the boys out of the house this morning. We needed that. I think after my last two Big Brother-Bashing posts, we just needed some time apart. Big Brother goes back to preschool starting tomorrow, so this will work out well this week.
We went to a new workout facility and the boys went to [...]

When I [...]

Okay, so as you can imagine…when I combine my personality for order in the form of written schedule…and this new jogging/walking thing with my already in place workout…I start having scheduling issues.
The current problem is how do I fit the running/jogging thing in on MWF and still get in my required 3 day a week [...]

I don’t know how I got on there…but I am not complaining. I just hope that some of these views translate into readers who come back for [...]
