Burning The Scale

Earth Day Shape Up

Since today is Earth Day and we are now officially into Spring, I thought we should talk about some healthy ways to get fit in the great outdoors. I personally would rather run on a treadmill any day than outside (fewer people staring at my wobbly bits) but I think I need to change the way I […]

If You Can’t Stand the Heat

So I did it. You know the Bikram Yoga class that we talked about weeks ago. I finally went to my trial class and…it…SUCKED was really trying. First of all the room is somewhere between 103° and 105°. I’m not kidding. So I was feeling a little faint before we even started. I drink a […]

It’s a Conspiracy

 
I went to the doctor yesterday for a totally non-fitness or weight loss related issue; so I thought. I have been having trouble with falling asleep. I just lie there for hours even though I’m dead tired at the end of the day. I self-diagnosed myself as having insomnia and asked my doctor if she […]

Chariots of Fire

This morning we took the long trek we did on Monday again but this time we ended up at the park. Not just any park but what appeared to be a toddler oasis of recycled tire pavement and slides galore. If the walk itself didn’t kick my butt, the following hour spent chasing, lifting and […]

They’re Just Numbers

Over the weekend I did the one thing I never do. I stepped on the scale. It was pretty scary. I knew I had gained some weight since I stopped breastfeeding three months ago but good grief. I had to step off the scale and look at it closely because clearly there was something wrong with […]

Easy Exercises & Gym Fashion Tips

My newest exercise of the week is cyling! Work on those quads with something that doesn’t set your ankles and calves on fire. While everyone says that we need to diversify, diversify, diversify, it doesn’t really hit home until you start going to the gym regularly and you spent all of your time upright and […]

Lacking on Energy? I am.

I have been soooooooooo sleepy this week.  Between the after effects of a week partying with the b5media youngsters in Austin, and my usual misery that is March allergies (but I am so glad things are getting green around here!), I have really been miserable this week.  I have gone to bed early every […]

From Yoga to Aikido and Everything In Between

This week I had a breakthrough. That is to say that the hubs had a breakthrough about me and my need to be active. For me my weight-loss is closely tied to my ability to relieve stress. Exercise is my stabilizer, my coping mechanism. So I told the hubs I wanted to start taking Bikram […]

What’s On My List: Plus-Size Pilates

I have been thinking about pilates, but I’m intimidated. The machines look somewhat impossible and creaky, and the classes always feel like they are packed with the most taught and toned people on the planet. But long, lean muscles? Flatter abs? A clear mind? The benefits are too tempting! I’ve been looking for ways to […]
