Here's an idea. Take the bus in, drop off stuff at work, don sneakers, catch bus, then walk down after meeting. I talked about this with my partner- it's supposed to be mid-70s tomorrow and if I'll be sans three bags, it might actually be kinda nice to walk the 1.5 miles down from my third job's staff meeting to my full-time job ( Read more... )

The original plan was to drive Fidget into work early, then go to a short spin class followed by a Power class. This all fell through ( Read more... )

I really didn't want to come down here, but finally after working on assembling packages and writing letters, I trooped down to the post office and am now in the public library. It's been a long time since I walked anywhere with distance; this should add up to 1.7 miles today. We briefly discussed walking to our farmer's market, something else we ( Read more... )

Since the flight back from Seattle, I haven't "officially" exercised. I have been trying to keep clean, but end up indulging in a brownie-in-a-cup every so often. I've noticed I've been eating something sweet every night since I've flown back. Thankfully, this hasn't caused any significant weight gain. However, it's looking as though with the ( Read more... )

The challenge starts tomorrow at 100pounds2lose. I weighed myself yesterday morning in at 219.6. Again, the hovering thing, but I haven't done a lot to try and focus on losing weight since I was gorging due to pre-Lenten fast. I'm hoping to lose somewhat this challenge, seeing as I still want to be around 200 pounds by my birthday, which is in June ( Read more... )

That BodyCombat class apparently whooped me. Or it could've been the suit jacket that I wore yesterday. All I know is that by the time I came home yesterday, my upper back and shoulders hurt. I took off the offending jacket and bra and proceeded to veg for the night. The original plan was to do some ab work then go to another kickboxing class ( Read more... )

My original plan seemed good in theory, but was remarkably poor in practice. I walked to school on Monday, did the Spin class though I was a little late, showered, then caught the city bus to work. That part went fine ( Read more... )

I've decided to play it relatively low-key today since I woke up with gloriously sore abs and chest muscles. That little 20 minute routine I did apparently did some work yesterday. I went ahead and still took the dog on the 1.9 mile walk, but knew that if I attempted crunches and push-ups again today, I would start to cry ( Read more... )

I finally got back on the exercise wagon today, though it was a long time coming. My original plan was to run with the dog we're babysitting, but since the turkey got to us, I didn't pack the right clothes to go outside woggling. I had my sweatpants, but not tops, and didn't think running with my heavy winter coat would have been conducive to ( Read more... )

I decided to start walking again, trying to get in shape after the new year. Again, it's more because my knee has been hurting more, and I know the weight is not helping. I did re-read my last entry, however, and my left side is no longer hurting me. This is the third time I've walked since Lent; I figured I would walk for at least a half hour ( Read more... )
