I am making a pact with myself this week to make it to the gym a minimum of three times. I have been procrastinating and coming up with every excuse in the book NOT to over the last few months, most of those excuses revolving around my baby.

When we introduced the couch to 5K program on how to run, the first thing I thought of was, “Is this going to flare up my plantar faciitis again?”
Have you heard of plantar fasciitis before? It all starts at the plantar fascia — the tissue along the bottom of your foot that connects your heel […]

It seems as if everyone else is doing it, so I thought I would too. I bought a Wii Fit. How original, huh?
I think Wii has the market cornered on us adults. Their marketing people did a great job…uh, well….marketing to us adults. Us adults who can’t seem to make it out the door to exercise, […]

I am now the proud owner of a Wii, thanks in part to Beth! She scored one for me, since Texas seems to be lacking in the Wiis, and it arrived safely in the mail today! Earlier this week, my Wii Fit arrived too.
I’m ready to join the latest fitness craze and jump start my […]

If you are anything like me, then you try running for a few minutes, huff and puff, can’t catch your breath, and slow to a walk. That’s my story. I have big dreams of being a runner, if only I could run longer than three minutes at a time!
Have you heard of the Couch-to-5K program? […]

Finally after 2 weeks I signed onto the wii fit and I was pleasantly surprised. Down 5.5 pounds!! Although it keeps telling me I’m obese and all, I still really like it.

I had high hopes of writing a post about Real Age, a really neat site hosted by Dr. Oz, but that nice long post will have to wait. The excuses are about to start so hold on!
The last few days, my motivation for exercising has been non-existent. Gone. Bye-Bye. Adios.
I’m bored with my exercise DVD for starters.
I’m […]
