Shoutin’ from the Rooftop

Do not beat yourself up because you cannot work out. You ARE sick. Give the medicine time to kick in.. Don’t push yourself. You started out the week strong. You will be better soon and will be back to working out.

As I mentioned yesterday, I was debating on what type of workout to get in yesterday. I finally settled on my Zumba’s Cardio Party (which is easily my favorite cardio dvd). After I was done with that I made myself complete level one of The 30 Day Shred. I wasn’t worried about the actual workout [...]

Well, week one of Operation Puppy went well!  I stayed within my points every day and worked out every day and was rewarded with a 3.6 pound loss!  That was certainly motivating!!
Week 2 began with several out of the ordinary situations making it tricky to stick to the plan, but I was sure to keep [...]

Sunday I started. I knew that I should start with Level 1 out of the 3 that [...]

Happy Monuesday.  That is what we call Tuesday on weeks that Monday was a holiday because all day long when you say what day it is, you start to say Monday before correcting yourself and realizing it is Tuesday.  Sometimes it is a very pleasant surprise.  Like you remember all over again that it is [...]

So today was my second weigh in since recommitting to getting back to my WW goal. A total of  12.4 pounds to lose. Last week I lost 1.4. Today I weighed in. Like I said last night, I was nervous. I definitely didn’t drink enough water the last two days. But thankfully I still lost [...]

Thankfully I was able to get in a run this afternoon. I hadn’t been able to workout since Tuesday when I ran four miles. My legs were so sore.
I was able to go to the new YMCA that just opened that is less than 2 miles from our house. All of the equipment is brand [...]
