today i slept in till noon. definitely feel like my body is fighting something off. attempted to start an INSANITY workout and realized something. i am just not ready for this. this does not mean i am giving up. it means i'm gonna do something else to work up to it. i can't go from [...]

Yesterday (Tuesday) was supposed to be day 1 of my workout week, but life did not cooperate. i had been up till 4 am and slept till 11. then, my back was hurting somethin awful- by the time scott got home my respiratory/mucus issues were unbearable. managed to get in bed at 11 and probably [...]

This story is kinda like the 3 bears- but.. with 4. :-)for the past four years i have owned 3 pairs of sneakers.1: Too Old. The first pair is these Avia cross trainers. They were great and i loved them, but i bought them in 02 because they were $20 at Costco and now they [...]

Which is to say, I have begun INSANITY. Scott has joined me. If you aren't familiar with the Insanity program, i suggest you google it. it's well named! High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to the MAXIMUM. have you ever seen a workout video where the people doing the workout take 2-3 breaks each throughout the [...]

this past thursday, i finally got back to working out hard after a long long illness. i started with my Biggest Loser last chance workout DVD. i did the upper body workout, which was tough. i then almost immediately moved on to an outdoor cardio workout. i walked all the stairs in our apartment complex.

I bought this dress years ago, thinking i'd wear it when i felt comfortable in it. well i finally do, but i'm not sure if i'm ready to wear it yet. here are pics. it;s a size 12, which i have not worn in at least 3 years. 🙂

after sleeping on it and waking (at 6 AM!!) with no discomfort or soreness in my ankles at all, i'm thinking i'll keep going with my endurance building interval training. i'm going to start taking Glucosamine soon and s long as i'm careful, i should be fine. Also need to learn and become familiar with [...]

tonight i tried something new at the gym. i did an interval program on the treadmill. i lasted 10 min on an program of 3-6mph. i am really split on my opinion on it. on one hand it felt AWESOME! i wanted to keep running and running- but here's the problem: my ankles hurt badly [...]
