Came across this great poem at Zen to Fitness: The best six doctors anywhere And no one can deny it Are sunshine, water, rest, and air Exercise and diet. These six will gladly you attend If only you are willing Your mind they’ll ease Your will they’ll mend And charge you not a shilling. -...

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 to this point, it is...

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. I would like to...

This thought has been going through my head today: Move through the day with a little “up dog” in your heart. Comes from my lunchtime workout yesterday – did the 20 minute Lunchtime Yoga Flow. The instructors cue while in airplane pose was to “have a bit of up dog in...

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 –...

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 sun...

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...

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 me and...

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)....

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 the morning. It will...

What a day! Started off not too bad: up at 7, did a bit of stretching, weighed 137.0lbs. had a nice breakfast of 1 egg scrambled with egg whites, spinach, onion and mushroom. Cooked down some ham stock I had simmering overnight in the crockpt, started some “baked” beans in another crock...

Happy sunny Friday! This morning’s yoga was Yoga for Weight Loss #2. It was OK, it had a rather quick flow right at the beginning, and I think I should have done something a little slower. My hips and lower back need more stretching, maybe at lunch. Had a pretty good workout over noon hour...
