Things have been a little crazy around here as I pack to move, but I’ve been managing to get out walking most days. I did an extra lap today at the park (4 miles total), but only ran a little bit - not even a quarter mile. One good thing about the move is I’m close enough to the park that it would be silly not to walk, which should add in at least an extra mile every day. :)...
I’ve finally been released from Physical Therapy. Of course, this means I have to make appointments with myself to do my exercises (as well as new ones to tone up all over). And I want to start eating right. The first step was getting a small refrigerator for my office. I did that last week, then on Sunday hauled up groceries (carrots, seltzer, caffeine-free diet coke, yogurt) and...
Well i have to admit i fell of the healthy food and exercise wagon *Hanging head in shame* :) It was so hard over Christmas to eat healthy when i had immediate access to chocolate and all that good stuff, i did little to no exercise unless walking around the shops counts?? :) But i am determined to climb back up, its less than a year now till the wedding so if i want to be serious about it i...
If I dare say so, I did really fine last week! I kept all my goals, that is, if you count doing gymnastics once as “some gymnastics”! *g* At last I managed to drink enough, though I now think about asking my superior to move my desk to the ladies restroom. *g* Though, walking all across the office a couple of times a day gives me a lot of extra exercise, LOL! Because I was such a...

No, I haven’t forgotten about this - life’s just been really hectic. Among other things, my boss needs to have knee surgery in 10 days. They want her to have it sooner, but her boss is off all week and she told them they couldn’t put her out of commission for a week with him gone. *sighs with relief* Anyway, I invested in a new pair of running shoes yesterday, then...

I went out running Monday (Brrrr!) morning and out of 1.5 miles, ran about 3/4 mile. I didn’t go quite as far as I would have liked, mostly because we dipped back down to freezing weather. On the plus side, when I started walking (I walk about half a mile to warm up), I thought running was going to be painful and unpleasant - it just didn’t feel good even walking. I was pleasantly...

This first week went better than I thought. My SIL and I didn’t find the Weight Watchers meeting on Tuesday, though the group was supposed to meet in the kindergarten. So, I decided to go back to my good old “count fat” method. Its a method that teaches you not to eat too much fat, not a diet. I’ve done pretty good this week and kept the fat-level that’s supposed to...
I’m back from my trip. The good news? I lost five pounds while I was on vacation! I’m sure a lot of it was all the walking and stair climbing that I did. The bad news? I got sick, picking up a cold, a sinus infection, and bronchitis. So, I won’t be jumping into my new and improved lifestyle now that I’m home. But I am starting from a better place than when I left.

Ok, a day late, but here is my goal for the week. 1) I’m going to make it to the gym and cardio at least 2 hours this week. 2) I’m going to lift weights 2 times, working every muscle group at least once. 3) I’m going to yoga on Saturday morning. 4) I’m not going to drink any soda this week. Wish me luck!
