My trainer said something cool to me the other day, he said that "change isn't comfortable" and i like that! it's a nicer way of saying "no pain, no gain". We worked out yesterday and it was a little tough at times, I could feel my legs shaking by rep 15 but afterwards I felt great!! I am a little stiff this morning, we did a lot of work on my quads, glutes, calves and hamstrings, but i know that that discomfort is change--it's something to help me remember and it's not unbareable so i can get t… Continue

Wow, I've been a slacker. I love blogging--its similar to journaling, the more you write your thoughts and feelings and of course what you ate, you're more accountable.

I've been hav… Continue

wow, time flies when you're having fun! i love kinetix, it's so easy to follow it makes this whole "getting healthy" thing seem effortless. but it makes it that much more frustrating when i can't follow it. The past few days have been rough for me (not making any excuses, just blogging here!) between long days at both jobs, and not planning meals ahead of time (my fault). Last night i went to bed at 5pm! i was gonna get up at 8 and go to the gym, but i slept through straight til my alarm went of… Continue

i love indian food. and that's all there is to it. instead of looking at it as sabotoge on day 2 of the challenge, i looked at it as a fun lunch date, good company, good food. didn't over eat. really relished the free target, and i'm back on track! hoorah!

as i was on the eliptical today i got to thinking, and talked it over with coach gerry too, i didn't realize what a big thing it was, but when i first started kinetix, i could only do 20 minutes of cardio, and my heart rate was all over the p… Continue
