Well, I told Ronji that I might start a “couch to 5k” training program for her May activity challenge.
So last night, I found one online and printed it out. This morning, I hit the treadmill at the gym. I did the “brisk 5-minute warmup walk.” Then I alternated 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds […]

The big bummer tonight is that we lost our game … by a score of 15-8, we think. (No one was working the scoreboard, and I lost count at 15-6.) This team was REALLY good, though. We decided most of the guys probably played ball in high school or college.
The good news is, that with […]

That makes two in a row!
The best part of today was the workout. I went to another “boot camp express” class at the gym. 45 minutes of rebounding, jumping rope, kick boxing and jumping jacks was hard (I slowed down a couple of times to the standard “step-touch” move) but afterward, I felt great. […]

I didn’t realize I’ve skipped out on posting THREE times this week. Jeez.
I’ve been having a bit of trouble on the food front, but exercise has been stellar this week. I even went to the gym on my lunch hour Thursday because I didn’t manage to make it before work. Don’t think I’ve ever done […]

I tried a Zumba class this morning, and it was a blast! For anyone who doesn’t know, Zumba is a Latin dance-type workout. I got to shimmy and shake, jump around and sweat — a lot. Even though I sometimes felt uncoordinated (why is it so hard to move arms and feet at the same […]

I didn’t just go to my first 45-minute boot camp class today, I took a 30-minute weights class and spent 30 minutes on the treadmill.
My food choices weren’t too shabby, either. Ate 32 1/4 Points, which is 4 1/4 Points over, but since my workout earned me 9 APs, it’s a wash. I took my […]

I managed to sneak in some activity, but the eating was totally out of control … again. And after I reached that whole “I have a choice” epiphany Thursday night, too! I had a choice, alright, and it was to eat all the bad food I could get my hands on.
I just don’t know what’s […]

Today was both good and bad. I got up and went to the gym, which was good. Spent 67 minutes total working out — 25 on the elliptical, 22 on the treadmill and 20 on weights, which was great. (Even better, the elliptical and treadmill said I burned a total of about 450 calories combined.)
The […]

I made it back to the gym for Lose to Win class this evening, and managed to get there a few minutes early … so I logged another 5 minutes on the treadmill. It’s not much, but it’s something.
Class was led by a nutritionist, who talked about reasons for eating and other stuff … sounded […]

Well, I’d planned to hit the gym for a nice, long workout Thursday morning … but when I got there, I realized I actually had a massage scheduled for about 30 minutes later. That means it was a quickie workout instead: Just 12 minutes on the treadmill (but at a high incline and fast speed […]
