My personal trainer is on vacation with his family this week, but I’m determined to keep up my workouts while he is gone. But instead of training every two days I decided I’m going to work out every other day. I went in today and decided that I was going to do cardio a little… [Read more…]
From the time I was around five, maybe six, I wanted to be at least forty. I know. Kind of odd for a little kid to pick the age forty to fixate on, but that was me. I wasn’t impressed when ten years came along or even my sweet sixteen. For me the prize was… [Read more…]
“This is where you will win the battle—in the playground of your mind.” —- Maxwell Martz After a few weeks of working out with Insanity: Fast and Furious and getting my body acclimated to the moves of the program, I’ve came to realize that not only do you have to be in decent physical condition… [Read more…]

Sometimes you get in a slump and you need to call in the troops. Well, I’ve been in a slump and had to call in my gal pal, Angie, to help. I’ve been eating, exercising, watching my sugar, but haven’t been blogging. Man it’s great to be loved. LOL. Angie has agreed to pop in… [Read more…]
Dear Diary I know it’s been a while since my last entry, but I’ve been… Ooppss, that was my post from back in October . Thought you’d lost me huh? Nah, I went on break, then I had technical difficulties, then my phone (which was a great camera that I had some downright excellent pictures… [Read more…]
