6 Day Body Makeover: Summary

Yesterday was the last day of my 6 Day Body Makeover project. I got a small yet easy start to working out on a regular basis. It was relatively simple to complete and I’m using it as a baseline for what I can accomplish. I’ll be moving forward and increasing the workouts. I’m not going [...]

6 Day Body Makeover: Day 6

Day 6. It’s the last day! Yay! Really, it’s been less a week since I started this little jump start exercise “program” and I’ll be picking up speed from here. Since I don’t have the Insanity workouts yet, I’ll be using the P90X program. I’m not going to follow the P90x workout schedule, food system, [...]

6 Day Body Makeover: Day 5

Day 5. One more day and I’ll be done! So short, but at least, I’ll have one week under my belt. I must hold back on the caffeine because it’s making it difficult to fall asleep at the end of the day so I’ll need to find something else to stop that 4-5 PM sluggishness. [...]

6 Day Body Makeover: Day 4

Day 4. I made it over the hump! What a little victory! I got my blood pressure taken the other day and it’s 106/61, which is considered low, but “normal” because I’m “thin”. I think that’s just a nice way of saying “you’re short” and therefore, my heart doesn’t need to pump as hard to [...]

6 Day Body Makeover: Day 3

Day 3. I got my annual eye exam and I was nervous because I thought my prescription got worse since I’ve been experiencing blurred vision. It turns out my prescription went down -0.50 which is half a diopter and great news, but not much in the overall scheme of things since I can’t see very [...]

6 Day Body Makeover: Day 2

Day 2. I’m pumped to continue this little 6 day journey. It’s been a while since I had an exercise schedule and I’m excited at the thought of being successful in this mini-makeover. By the end of today, I’m 1/3 complete. My calves were a little tight this morning, but with a couple of stretches, [...]

6 Day Body Makeover: Day 1

It’s Day 1. My motivation isn’t really to lose weight, drop a dress size, or superficially “look good.” I want to tone my body, have better flexibility and endurance so I can travel the world, participate in crazy athletic schemes (like a marathon), and take control of my life. I’m already a size zero or [...]

To begin at the beginning

A girl can never have to many blogs just like she can never have too many shoes right? Well, I’m writing this blog to chronicle my efforts at staying fit, healthy, and toned. This is not another fad-diet attempt to lose weight. I’m altering my habits for the better in the hopes of keeping it [...]
