Sunday morning I did my darndest to get up early and exercise. I got through half of my slim-in-6 workout before I noticed that I had to stop to get ready for church… Or I’d be late - AGAIN. We did good and made it during the first song and before the opening [...]

I don’t know what happened Thursday. The morning was good, I played with Yeyda and ate a good, healthy lunch. About an hour after lunch I thought I was going to vomit. I was so naucious. It felt like someone was twisting my guts in opposite directions. I lay down [...]

Ever been horseback riding? It’s not my favorite past time. I’m short, fat and uncoordinated and being on the back of a large creature whose girth is wider than your knees can stretch is rather uncomfortable. These past few days that is what exercise has felt like to me.
On Sunday, day 14, [...]

The discomfort I felt on Day 11 after not getting enough fuel to effectively complete my workouts or my day left me feeling limp and uninterested in exercise on day 12. It depressed me a bit because I thought that I’d found my achilles heel that I’d never lose weight. Then I remembered [...]

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 it made for good traction [...]

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 with a warm-up, cardio/sculpting, and [...]
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 biggest weakness. Yesterday I [...]

Today I did it. Again. I started working out. I worked out this morning to the “Great Abs Guaranteed” video from Beach Body. It’s not much, only 7 minutes, but its more than I do on most days. (Does anybody out there have the “Hip Hop Abs” DVDs from Beachbody [...]
