Went to the gym today over the lunch hour – was planning on doing some yoga. As I stepped outside the sun felt so warm and nice I decided I would do yoga outside. So I went into the gym, which was freezing of course, changed, then walked around behind the building where there is [...]
A friend made the statement this past weekend that “you burn more calories power-walking than running”. I vaguely remembered having heard similar claims, but doubting the validity of them. So, I challenged that calories burned is a matter of moving mass over distance, so whether you “power-walk” or run that distance you will burn basically [...]
Feeling fat today, ugh. Wearing size 8 jeans and they are uncomfortable. This is not good. We are on 2nd day of the diet – I know if I just stick with it I can lose the weight, but somehow my brain just isn’t cooperating, nor are my thighs. I have no idea how I [...]
Got up later than I wanted to this morning (7:00 am) but the sun was shining and it wasn’t too warm yet so I decided to do some biking then maybe run. I rode 5.5 miles, then ran 1.8 miles (for a grand total of 400 calories burned, woohoo). Weighed in at 138.8lbs this morning. [...]
Great run this morning – sun was shining, temperature was just right, the trails weren’t too wet. Morning weight: 137.6lbs, not bad. Still feeling thin, and not quite as bloated. Had a late, non-traditional breakfast after my run (about 9:45am when I finally ate) 2 pork tacos – yum. Looking forward to trying a new [...]
Rainy day, no run today. Thought the rain might hold off for long enough that I could squeeze in a short run, but it was raining when I finally got up at 7:45am. Weight this am: 137.4lbs. This morning’s yoga: Hip Opening Flow 20 min. Great class, but I would recommend warming up with a [...]
Long time, no updates. Cant believe its June already! Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend, and is enjoying summer! This past weekend was rough – my stomach was hurting all weekend and was really bloated. Friday night we did have a nice night – hit Uptown for happy hour, and walked the dog [...]
I am eating chocolate at 10:23am on a Monday. Yes, it has already been that sort of a day, lol. I actually got up fairly early, stretched a bit, and had a nice run around the lake with the dog – the weather is absolutely gorgeous. But hubby is down, so that is really stressing [...]
I haven’t been posted as much lately – feeling rather blah. No particular reason, just blah. Anyway, had a good weekend, although it was not good from diet standpoint. Saturday night we were invited to a friend’s home for a barbeque, and of course there was tons of good food (and wine). I made my [...]
Work up before the alarm this morning (6:40am), the sun was shining, it looked like a great day. I tried a new yoga program I downloaded – Yoga for Cyclists (20 minute). It was a good stretch for legs, but is meant to do after a ride, so not the best for first thing in [...]
