Still Chugging

I forgot to update, but I did Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X yesterday. And today I did Plyo. I’ll be off skiing for two days in Tahoe…so I’ll update when I return. Yay snow!

Boo Coffee!

The more I pay attention to what goes into my body, the more the little things matter. I know that alcohol affects me more than it used to because I have less body fat and my body absorbs things faster. So I’m definitely going to lay off the alcohol, it’s the smart thing to do. [...]

Simplifying Jeans

If you talked to me 10 years ago, I would tell you that I owned over 25 pairs of jeans. Today, I own about 5. I’m learning to appreciate quality over quantity but it’s a never-ending battle. Styles and trends change so quickly, that trying to follow them leaves me unfulfilled and unhappy. Instead, I’m [...]

Hope to Gain

We all have body goals, what we want our bodies to look like and what level of fitness is manageable for our lifestyle. I’m superficial, but hey, who isn’t? I’m hoping that in six months, I’ll have an awesome back ridge, back dimples, toned arms, and a toned stomach. I don’t need a lot of [...]

Randomly Depressed

When I don’t work out, I get depressed pretty easily. It just comes on for no reason at all and I feel completely unmotivated to do anything. Even putting food in my mouth takes effort. And today was one of those days. Perhaps I overexerted myself doing two workouts in one day, but I felt [...]

Double Blind Yoga

I was feeling extra sprightly, so I did a double workout today. Shoulders and Arms and Yoga! For the first session, I bumped up to 10 lbs weights for the entire program. The first week, I was using a mix of 5 lb and 10 lbs weights and now for week 3, I phased out [...]

Food That Keeps You Going

My body finally reset itself and I’m hungry for some real food after two days of eating nothing but rice, breads, and crackers. I was so wrapped up in eating that I forgot to do my workout. Oops! I had a pastrami sandwich, a mini apple cinnamon cupcake, and the best Mexican food I’ve had [...]

Stuck in the Pits

I’m still recovering from my ridiculous night. My stomach is settling down but I still can’t eat anything that has a smell or a strong flavor. Breads and crackers have been my saving grace. Even eggs make me queasy right now. This sucks. I’m never drinking as much again! I should have learned this lesson [...]

Disastrous!

Last night, my friend convinced me to go out and I drank way more than I should have in a short amount of time. This is probably one of maybe three nights where I don’t remember much of what happened. Apparently, I drunk texted people. SO stupid and SO EMBARRASSING! At least it wasn’t too [...]

Go Full Throttle

Plyo today…bright and early. It took me a while to warm up today, but once I got going…I was so sweaty I was down to my underwear to stay cool throughout the workout. Hate that! But during the jump knee tuck and rock star hops, I had a breakthrough. If I try to jump modified, [...]
