For about ten seconds after my alarm went off at 5:10 this morning, I was wondering who in the world set my alarm to go off that early. Oh, yeah. I did. Why? Oh, yeah. I was told yesterday, “everyday is a work out day now.” To the one who told me that, um, thanks. […]

My goodness, I don’t know where too start. Yesterday after the first day, I had so much energy it was insane. I loved it. I also found it necessary to keep moving so my muscles wouldn’t burn. Yes, they were burning like a calf getting branded. Ouch.
So this morning when I got up, I was […]

Let’s just hope it continues beyond Day One. ;o)
I did the usual gym-thing after taking the twins to school this morning. I did 30 minutes on the Precor AMT and 30 minutes on the Precor EFX for a total of 4.6 miles. Not too shabby since I was doing the hill workouts! I decided to […]

Monday, April 6th, marks the first of the 30 day Shred Challenge. What does this mean for you? Lots of sweat, sore legs, burning arms, sore abs and maybe even some tears. And no, I’m not trying to scare you, I’m just telling you what to expect.
But I want to tell you what else to expect. […]

I’m going on a very much needed “weekend away” with some very dear friends. We aren’t going far- just two hours down the road. However, I am scared that I will throw caution to the wind and SCARF down every single bad food put before me. And drink. And eat some more. And drink some more.
I know […]

It’s hard to believe that a little blue fish is helping to motivate me to get off my duff and do some hard core exercise today, but she is because what she says is so right on. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…
Yesterday I shredded for the first time and it was really, really, really […]

North Dakota is getting slammed by another blizzard. ANOTHER ONE. This seems to be a weekly event. Averie said her radio reported that we had already gotten 11 inches since last night. And we are supposed to get lots more. Ugh. Spring? Not here.
The YMCA is shut down, so I broke out the Wii Fit […]

Seems like everywhere I click on the internet these days, I am hearing tidbits about Jillian’s 30 Day Shred. I actually broke down and ordered a copy the other day, as well as a copy to give away to a lucky person in the future. Here is a summary of the DVD:
Jillian Michaels, winning trainer […]

As some of you know, I have dreams of becoming a runner. Only I don’t run. I haven’t even tried since last summer. At that point, I could go for a few minutes, then walk for several, and then jog a few more minutes… catch my drift?
This morning I did not go to the gym […]

That would be the sound of my heart ready to burst out of my chest at 6:00am this morning. Do people get up this early on a regular basis, because they want to? Or because they have to? I digress.
I was out of bed at 5:35am and my feet hit the pavement at 5:50am. I ran […]

This weekend we had my husband’s best friend from childhood here for a visit. That means we went out to eat twice at very yummy restaurants and that I ate too much and that in the span of three days, I have gained three pounds.
Now I know that most of it (hopefully) is salt weight […]

I did the 8:30am Cycle class this morning at the gym. I have not done Cycle since before I was pregnant, over a year ago. Today, “cycle” kicked my ass. And I loved it.
I was breathless within the first 15 minutes of class. I was dripping sweat. Every time my legs came up during the pedaling, one of […]

I went to the gym this morning and it felt WONDERFUL!! I had a great workout… 30 minutes on the Precor EFX, 15 minutes on the Precor AMT, and 45 minutes of weights. I am hoping this feeling will be around for the rest of my workouts this week! ;o) Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
**I also wanted to […]

I weigh 180 pounds. I need to lose a minimum of 25 pounds. That seems like such a daunting task. Especially for someone who likes food so much. And to cook. The key for me is exercising. I HAVE TO GET BACK IN THE GYM AND FIND MY HAPPY PLACE. And soon.
I want to get my “sexy” back, just […]
