Let’s Play 3 or 30

I used to be a track and cross country coach, and everything we did was a game. So now that I’m only coaching myself, I still try to make running fun. Well, as fun as running can be. Some day I dream of loving it once again, but for now, I just have to get [...]

I’m Hungry! :-)

I feel like I’ve been eating all day, every 3 hours or so. It’s 8:30pm now, and I’m hungry. I think it’s a mental thing, but it is possible I’m not eating enough calories for all that I do. At least I got a blog comment from a visitor saying that is the case. I’ll [...]

Deserted Gym

Where did all the people in the gym go? It was deserted today. Well, it was my first time in a long while, so I can make a pretty good guess. It was also just after 1pm on a Tuesday, so maybe most people were working. All I know is it was hotter and sweatier [...]

Home Gyms are Convenient

I have a membership to a gym, Pure Fitness. I like going to the gym most of the time. The last time I went, a couple of days ago, there was a very foul odor in the air. It almost made me sick. I really wasn’t thrilled about going back there any time soon, and [...]

Legs are Like Rubber

I ran for 30 minutes and then did my Workout III: Lowerbody at Pure Fitness today. I could barely make it through my weights my legs were so tired. It has been a while and I probably should not have started where I left off weeks ago, but I did. What the heck. Well, my [...]

Week 6 Do Over

Okay, I made it through 5 weeks of my 8 Week Slim Down with no problem, but then I had to travel to Chicago for 5 days, and when I returned I was sick and swamped. Needless to say Week 6 & 7 were a wash. So I’m doing them over. I can do that [...]

Better Late Than Never

I didn’t make it to the gym today until 10 til 9pm. I almost talked myself out of it, but then something clicked and headed out the door for the gym. I think I may be a little dehydrated because I’m lacking motivation lately. But it’s Tuesday, and I’m still on track for a perfect [...]

Me Obsessed? Please!

Okay, as I was heading out the door for the gym today, Cammie said I was obsessed. Obsessed? What is she talking about. I’m just serious this time. I’m making it happen instead of dreaming about it happening. What she was referring to was the fact that going to the gym was my 3rd workout [...]

Lifting Weights is a Must for Weight Loss

I did my weights workout 2 today. My upper body is pretty tired now, especially after swim class. Yep, swim class started back up today. Lucky thing is we only swam for 30 minutes because it was the first day. So far today has been an excellent day. If I can just have 7 and [...]

The Gym Thing is Not So Bad

I find it difficult to get to the gym these days. It’s not because I can’t find the time to workout. I’m most certainly doing that. I’ve been working out at least 5 days a week, but I never want to go to the gym because the weather is so nice right now in Phoenix [...]
