A Nap Does the Body Good

I’ve been requiring more naps lately. At first I thought it was a sign that I was dehydrated or working too hard, but then I just settled on maybe I’m just tired and I should just take a nap. That works. As soon as I sit down for about 2 minutes, I’m out. Sometimes I’ll [...]

Spinning with the Enemy

Yep! I was right up front so Jody, Green team Leader, could see the YELLOW! Although I was wearing black. Dang. I should have worn yellow. Oh well. So what was I doing at a spin class on a Tuesday at 5:45PM? I felt guilty for not going to tri class. Have I even been [...]

My Virtual Model is Hot!

Okay, this is just plain silly, but silly I am. So what. I discovered this site today called My Virtual Model that lets you do just that, create a virtual model of yourself. The concept stems from the idea that people who shop online could try the clothes on virtually so they can see if [...]

Where There’s a Will…

There’s a way! Yep! I woke up at exactly 5 am this morning. Honest. No alarm. No nothing ( I know that’s a double negative. I’m an English teacher). I just sat right up and looked at the clock. It read 5:00. At that moment I realize I didn’t have drop off duty today, so [...]

The Girl Don’t Float

After Swim Snack 3:30pm,
originally uploaded by dr.coop.

Okay, we’ve already established this fact two semesters ago, but I had to re-verify it today in swim class. Float on your back and then float on your stomach. All I heard was lay on your back and watch your feet sink. Oh well. Can’t be good at everything. [...]

This Week is Flying By

I can’t believe it’s almost Friday already, and this weekend is a holiday weekend. I’m hoping to get lots of R and R this weekend, as well as some good workouts. I’m excited about my long bike ride on Sunday. I plan to ride the trail by my house down to Metro Center.
Today I had [...]

Murphy’s Law in Full Effect

What ever could go wrong, did go wrong this week. I’m so glad it’s Friday and this week is almost over. All my workouts were messed up in some way, starting with Monday. Even today was mess, but I made it work in most cases. Like today, I totally forgot that there was no early [...]

I’m Pooped!

Yes, it was another big day. I had lots of energy after my 12 hours of sleep last night. I still can’t believe that. But I had to make up my weight workout that I didn’t get to yesterday. See last post. I upped my weight on my Dumbbell Shoulder press to 17.5lbs, but I [...]

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 [...]
