Who takes vitamins every day? I go through phases. For about 10 years, I took a daily birth control pill. That was easy. It was small and I could take it without water. It kept my periods predictable and, well, kept me from getting pregnant! For 6 years I took a daily breast cancer preventative […]
I’m making a commitment to document again. I don’t say “write” because I’m not a writer. But I haven’t documented in a while because I keep discouraging myself. So this documentation is for me. It’s my motivator to get healthy. I stopped posting things on this blog because it made me feel insufficient and incompetent. […]
Surprise. surprise – I finished the 21 Day Fix workout plan. And… well I don’t plan on stopping this workout anytime soon. I absolutely love this workout. I love the variety. I love that it can be as quick as 30 minutes a day. I love that I’m drenched in sweat when the workout is […]
So I’ve finished week 1 of Beachbody’s 21 day fix and I must say I really love this program. I love the variety of the exercise program and the simple eating plan. I’ve been doing the program with my Beachbody coach (who also happens to be a friend) Elaine and a group of 7 […]
Week 2 of my 10-Miler training was GREAT. It went something like this: Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: No, your eyes did not deceive you. I actually did nothing last week. I take that back, I did go to my dance class on Monday, but that works more of my brain than my body. […]
Over the past few months, I had come to the realization that something had to change in my lifestyle, but I wasn’t quite sure what it was. By mid-afternoon most days, I would find myself completely exhausted, to where I really just wanted to curl up somewhere and take a nap. In addition to being […]
The last time I ran more than 3 miles was March 2012. Let’s do the math…2 years and 8 months ago. A lot can happen in almost 3 years, but in my case, not much happened on the running front. I just stopped. The race I ran was an awesome race. It’s one of the […]
I have been on a little exercise hiatus lately, so it’s been hard to write about my previous workout plan knowing I haven’t been following it lately. I must admit, I’m in a rut. I had some minor surgery a couple weeks ago to remove some abnormal cells on my cervix (which all came back […]
I turned 40 on Easter, and I’m okay with it. I’m fine with the age 40 and saying that I am now 40, but I would be lying if I told you I didn’t FEEL (or feel I look) 40. It wasn’t until Easter Sunday came and went that I started noticing little things here […]
I hate to be so cliche, but I really do like the whole New Year’s Resolution thing. I like coming up with my list, trying to think of new ways to improve myself, and then attempting to carry them out sometime during or by the end of a year, usually failing miserably, but the intention […]
