On the recommendation of my friend, I tried Jillian Michaels’ (of The Biggest Loser) 30 Day Shred workout. It has three levels that go according to difficulty. Not including the warm up part, the whole thing lasts 20 minutes and is structured in 3-2-1. Three minutes of strength, two minutes of cardio and one minute […]
Last week I wasn’t able to jump-rope much because of well…life but I got back on track over the weekend. So far, I’m down two more pounds. That makes six overall in about four weeks. Nothing major , I’m just plugging away at it. The really cool thing is that my legs are starting to look so much […]
A big part of getting in shape is having the right equipment and gear. An unsupportive sports bra or shorts that keep riding up can ruin a workout. If you are doing any kind of serious running, you should replace your shoes every 300-550 miles. I have a good friend who is an avid runner […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’m a little irked by the Nutrisystem commericals that I’ve seen lately. I like Marie Osmond and damn she looks good. To quote her from the commercial and the ad on the website :
“I went on a Nutrisystem and lost 40 pounds..”
I’m sure the Nutrisystem worked and helped her. It’s quite obvious. But what’s missing […]
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 […]
I wanted to share with you guys a recipe I recently tried. I talked about it a little over at Pretty By Nature. I modified a raw veggie lasagna recipe and convinced my husband to try it. I will tell you off the bat that it contains what I would like to call “cashew cheese”. Every […]
