  • What Keeps You Motivated?

    Everyone needs motivation, whether it’s for weight loss, work, school or just getting out of bed each day. Staying motivated is the hardest part of any goal you wish to accomplish. So what happens when you lack the motivation you need? What do you do to get that motivation back again? I seem to be…

  • Life and Death

    Some woman tried to kill me on the way to work this morning. No joke! I don’t understand why people think just because they are in a car they can do what they want and endanger others. Sigh. I’m still angry about it, but not shaken up really anymore. She’ll get what’s coming to her!…

  • Let’s Go!

    I ran again last night for 20 minutes, with a few tiny breaks because I just couldn’t go on at some points! But I did it and that’s what matters. Tonight is exercise ball and boxing, which I’m very much looking forward to. Still no new dvds, I hope they arrive soon! I have to…

  • WTF?

    I had a plan. I liked my plan. My plan was going to work! And then it went dark… That’s right, we had a power cut this morning! My plan is this: Strength Training in the mornings, 5x a week Cardio in the evenings, 6 x a week So I managed to pull myself out…

  • Moo.

    Arghaghehghghargh. Yep, that is how I feel! I didn’t sleep well at all last night. I tossed and turned the whole night and it felt like I hardly slept. I was so tired in fact, that I very nearly talked myself out of exercising tonight. I then decided that I need to work out! Not…

  • Cough Cough

    I’m still coughing, but only moderately. Hubby is still very ill and today has had numerous nose bleeds because he blows his nose too much! I was woken up at 8am by the neighbour’s two brats screaming and crying. There should really be a law against letting your children be that loud before 10am. I…

  • Motivation to the Hilt!

    OK, so I had my weigh in last night. I was so stressed about it (with good reason) and overall “officially” I lost about 1lb. I always use my scale at home for any actual numbers, but as the doc uses her scale that’s the “official” weight! She is the more important tracker, afterall! Anyway,…

  • Darnit!

    This past month has been hectic, challenging, stressful, crazy and frustrating! For 3 weeks I couldn’t do any strength training due to my arm injury and that had a huge impact on my weight loss for those weeks. Last week I started it again and was on track, then today I’m back up to what…

  • Oh Dear.

    My arm is still hurting. It’s been a week today since I fell. I fairly certain I have pulled my bicep and possibly my tricep as well! I’ve been putting ibuprofen gel and deep heat on it (not at the same time) the past few days and there is considerable improvement. I also have to…
