So today, back and all I decided to hit the treadmill and walk. My fear is that if I sit for too long I will lose my momentum. I didn't do any incline and I kept my pace at around a 16:40 mm, which isn't all that quick -- I was aiming more for steps …
BFL
Years ago I stumbled across a fitness program called Body for Life -- it's basically a combination of anaerobic weight lifting, HIICardio and eating smaller portions of protein/fat/carbs throughout the day. I've decided I'm ready to start shaping my body rather than just getting the fat off. Losing so quickly, I am already starting to …
Christmasville…
I was on Facebook a few weeks ago and I follow Southern Living -- no shocker there. There was a heading that flashed across the screen, "What southern town changes its name to Christmasville for four days each year?" Having a daughter who is a Christmas lover level 10, I had to see. Turns out …
Bonding time…
Kenzie's been in a bit of a funk lately -- school, moving, life -- just not feeling great, so I figured a night out would do us both some good. We live close to this adorable shopping district called Rivergate. In it there is a place called Art Space - a ceramics studio where you can …
Getting in the groove…
So finally, I'm feeling like I'm back in the groove. I woke this morning, after a not so restful night sleep, hopped into my workout clothes, had my protein drink and then went off to the gym. I crushed a pretty intense cardio workout and then hit the weights. I am definitely in the groove. …
The difference a day can make…
Yesterday morning I woke up in a mood. I was frustrated and down on myself for falling off the wagon. Rather than looking at how far I've come and what I can do, I was having a pity party over my current behavior and the stall it had caused. Once I wrote out my thoughts …
Kinks in the chain…
Some days are certainly more difficult than others. as I've been reflecting a lot over the last few weeks, I've come to understand better that this truly is a journey not a destination. And that so much is mind over matter. The first three months post-surgery have been relatively simple. I shed a ton of weight. …
Impact…
I posted this picture on my FB feed this morning with a blurb about how much better I feel having lost so much weight -- I was overwhelmed with the supportive responses I have received. It got me thinking -- so many of those who responded have been an inspiration in my life in one …
Monovision…
So, I'm trying an experiment. I noticed that now, not only my distance vision was crappy but I was struggling more and more to read. Didn't matter how close or how far I moved the book, it was blurry. This getting old thing is for the birds. I am not ready for bifocals. So -- …
