It’s Monday afternoon, after a weekend of strict diet and exercising. I can’t believe Dan and I kept this up for months earlier this year! I worked Saturday, but after Dan and I biked a few miles away to have sushi for dinner. But yesterday we went all out! We spent most of the day […]

When I started dieting and exercising this year, I made a promise every time I lost a pound, that I’d never weigh that weight again. I’m thrilled to say that I’ve kept that promise, but I’m not trying as hard as I was earlier this year. I’m full of excuses- tired after work, don’t want […]

I realized I’ve fallen very behind in my running/ dieting/ fitness updates! I’ve had a setback that’s been getting me down. I use Nike+ on my iPod, and have always questioned its accuracy a bit. So I decided to download a cell phone app my college friend uses. It’s called Endomondo, and it uses GPS […]

Despite not getting much sleep (5 tossy-turny hours), today was fabulous! I taught 10-1pm and came home and had a protein filled lunch of eggs and a banana. Then Dan and I went to the bedroom to get ready to run. I pulled open the curtains so Penny could lay on the bed in the […]

Busy Work Week!

At work, I offered to be available to teach extra classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I like my job and the extra money couldn’t hurt! The only downside is I don’t know if I’m working extra until the night before, but besides that I really enjoy it! I got a few extra classes in […]
