Yesterday  morning was a bit of a hot mess.  I had some trouble falling asleep the night before, so I was awake until after 11:00.  I tossed and turned for a good portion of the night, and the next thing I knew the alarm was waking me up.  I can’t lie, I hit snooze, so [...]

I am so sore. I feel like I’m back in week one where EVERYTHING just hurt so much. It took so much effort to get my arms up into my blouse this morning. It’s a good pain, but a pain nonetheless. Actually lots of pains. All over.
Anyway, Back/Bis was solid [...]

I’ve been MIA this weekend, but I do have my 30 Day Progress report.
So I weighed and measured myself on Sunday morning, after another successful mile run on the treadmill. (I’m still shocked at myself that I can actually pull that off!) Anyway, here are my stats:
Weight:
Day 1 - 167.8
Day 29 - 160.6 [...]

I wish Yoga X wasn’t so long so I could do it at night instead of in the morning.  This one is really tough to get through at 5AM because I’m so stiff and it takes me a while to get going.  It was just okay for me today, not as good as the last [...]

It was better than last time, but I still hate the flow of this workout. You’re up. Then you’re on the floor. Then you’re up again. Then you’re back down on the floor. Up again. And on and on and on. It really is an hour I kinda [...]

I’m not loving the recovery week. I’m doing it, and I know why it’s necessary to do it, but I’m just not feeling it. I feel like I’m reverting, gaining weight instead of losing it. So I decided to throw in cardio on as many days as I can during the “rest [...]

Since I felt quite dissatisfied with my performance during Core Synergistics, after the chat with Tony last night (which I’ll talk about later) I did a half hour of kickboxing with Cathe’s 4 Day Split. Nothing too difficult, but it was definitely hard to do with a full stomach. Even my heart rate monitor [...]

Just when I thought things were looking up… JUST when I was getting it… JUST when I was feeling good about what I’ve accomplished so far… Pam, Dreya, Adam and Tony kicked my ass and left me bruised and bloodied on the side of the road.  I felt like roadkill.
Tony said:  “You might discover this [...]

I figured since Yoga X was shaping up to be one of the workouts I’d be using most during the next 68 days and also the one I had the lest experience with, I needed to do some research one some of the poses and get a history of hatha yoga just so I could [...]

I feel good this week. I feel in control. My brain has quieted down and I feel focused. I have a goal. I’m pretty confident that I’ll get there.
This Thursday at a meeting at work a co-worker mentioned that my arms looked muscular and asked me if I’d been weight lifting. [...]
