it's been a busy and crazy and awesome and partially sick couple weeks! ok, once again it's been awhile so i'll try and sum up what's been going on as best i can without boring details. Icky drugsthe day following my last post i had a doctor's appt in which my doc and i discussed the [...]

i've added yet another form of exercise to my repetoire! Spinning, or Cycle, as they call it at my gym is an intense cardio workout on specially designed stationary bikes. it is the hardest* thing i have ever done, exercise wise, and now i have completed three classes in 6 days- Sat, Tues, Thurs. i [...]

so, i'm not pregnant yet- as far as i know- but the fitter i get, the more i feel it could be iminent. i am also a planner and a control freak,  so i have been doing some research into how to build and modify my program around this. i think i've got a pretty [...]

first, let me recap yesterday (tuesday). it was my first back to back day of weights at the gym, and it went well. i did a TON of ab work first, mixing in my bicep and tricep work, and all that was great. then i did my weight machine circuit. this circuit takes less time [...]

so my goal has always been a size 8, but is that the right goal? i really don't know what size i should be shooting for. i really don't think i could maintain anything smaller than an 8, but should i be a 10 instead? i'm just over a size away from a 10 (meaning [...]

Happy Monday y'all! so, today's plan was thrown off a little by some late night family stuff that came up, but i still had a fantastic workout!no pre-gym pilates today, since i slept into make up for being up late, but first thing when i got to the gym i did most of what i [...]

Just a quick post about my run today. i intended to run for an hour total, but it didn't quite work out that way because of some carelessness on my part-i accidentally chose the "cardio" program on the elliptical instead of the manual, which should have been my choice, as the plan for today was [...]

It better be. it *will* be. And ohhhh what a fight it's been. I'm not even talking about the (conservatively) 10 years i've been fighting this disease and what it's not so slowly done to my body- that is an epic battle that will, i've come to accept, never be over till i'm gone from [...]

this entire morning has been me throwing a fit because i am stressing myself out over nothing. Here's the thing: i pretty much hafta modify every workout program i start because of my knee/ankle issues (pilates is the one exception) and for 8 years i've been aware of and ok with that. i'm a lot [...]
