Day 10: Just joined SparkPeople a FREE weight loss plan site

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

I just joined SparkPeople after seeing their link on a fellow blogger's site. It looks like a really cool site and may just be the extra push I need (Oh, and did I mention it's FREE). After logging in they calculated my BMI (Body Mass Index). At 5'2" tall and 190 ...

DAY 9: Weigh In Day with a Surprise

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

It's day 9.  Woo hoo, made it one more day.  Today I actually took my little dvd player (which is dying and doesn't have a working remote anymore) outside so my little girl could play while I exercised.  The patio boards are old and the paint is worn off so ...

Day 8 New Workout & I Feel Great

Monday, April 14th, 2008

It's day 8 and I'm still at it even after a day of rest. Today I started on the Slim in 6 routine with Debbie Seebers of Beach Body. I thought maybe I'd have to break it down into 2 workouts throughout the day, but I was able ...

Day 7: Taking the day off

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Today is day 7 of my workout regimen and I think I'm going to rest a bit and recover. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up the pace a bit and do the "Start It Up" video workout from Beach Body's Slim In 6 routine. It's about 25 minutes ...

Day 6 of new workout regimen

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Yay, it's Saturday and though I slept in a bit today I did actually do my Great Abs Guaranteed. We had biscuits and gravy for breakfast which isn't extremely healthy. Oh, well. I've done pretty good though staying away from large quantities of sugar; that is my ...

Reciprocal results not forthcoming

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

I know this is not the first post to express disappointment in the U Drop/I Follow or the U Comment/I Follow trend, but it's a frustration I must share. To commiserate with my blogging compadres I have seen little if any reciprocation of my commenting or dropping efforts. ...

I think I’m in LOVE. . .

Friday, April 11th, 2008

. . . with FireFox! As a dedicated user of all programs Microsoft I finally gave in to the proddings of all my fellow bloggers: USE FIREFOX. After weeks of utter frustration with IE7 crashing every few minutes or when my internet connection would break I downloaded FireFox. ...

7 Minutes Closer

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Well, it's day five of my new workout regimen and I'm seven minutes closer to ripped abs.  I've definitely felt more energetic even with just a short amount of exercise every day.  The afternoon arm workout didn't materialize yesterday, but I did fold clothes for a couple hours.  That always ...

Global warming is a serious problem that the whole Planet earth is facing. It is no longer a myth but a fact and is very evident. Have you noticed the unpredictable and sudden climate changes, and the excessive heat that we are now experiencing? It is due to the ...

Teach your child a second language

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

My mother when she arrived in the U.S. after marrying my father didn't speak very much English. My father wanted very much to perfect his Spanish. After I was born my mother dedicated herself to speaking nothing, but Spanish to me while we were at home alone. ...
