Exercise Update
O.K., so this isn’t going so well.
I made it for about a week. We did some work over the weekend, and I spent a couple hours pulling up old carpet. That’s definitely exercise, but it also made me really sore and tired. I didn’t exercise for a couple of days, and I fell out of [...]

Pick your Level: Fat to Firm Fast

Too much junk
Not enough exercise
I keep having trouble getting myself back on track. I’ve been trying to rethink what I’m doing and try to figure out why it’s not working for me. Because, obviously, it’s not working.
The good news is that I haven’t really [...]
I can’t believe I did that
Well, I did it.
I joined the gym at work. I mentioned a little while back that I was thinking about it, and I did. The price wasn’t bad — $320/year for me and my husband. Now, let’s hope that the new payroll deduction will motivate me to actually use it!
My goal is to use the [...]
Walking update
Over the last few days, I’ve started wearing a pedometer again. It’s my first step to getting ready for the half marathon.
July 1: 10500 steps
July 2: 7500 steps
July 3: 7800 steps
And today, I forgot to put the darn thing on!
Buying a pedometer
I own about a half dozen pedometers: different brands, various prices. However, the best [...]
