  • A New Year – Time to Try Something New

    Does the thought of heading to the gym to face the cardio machines make you cringe as you begin your quest to get in shape? Finding a form of exercise that works for you is key to finding something that ‘works for you’ long term. Many people find themselves sticking with what they know best…

  • Pull Up Party Workout

    Plumbline boot camp is back in session — it was a full house today and it was great to see everyone. A week off means missing some of my pals. I maintained my weight this week which is good but also surprising if you think about how much I was working out. I really don’t…

  • Gold’s Gym Workout

    I headed to Gold’s Gym this am. It’s a bit farther than I normally would drive for a gym but since mine is undergoing renovations — i figured what the heck. And as predicted, it was super crowded with Resoluters — which is great because maybe some of them will actually make a permanent change…

  • Happy New Year 2011!

    Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe that today is 1/1/11. When you are young, time seems to go by at a snail’s pace and it’s only when you are out of school, living a grown up life, do you begin to realize how fast life goes by — This is the year I turn…

  • Even the score workout

    I headed to another workout for the day — partly it’s to keep me busy during my week off and partly it’s because I have been totally out of control eating wise the past 3 days. Not that I am eating a ton but I have been having bread/wheat and I totally feel horrible. I…

  • LA Fitness Workout

    Got up and headed to LA Fitness to workout with my boot camp pals. I am so happy I made plans to meet people there. It’s way too easy to just sleep in when you are off work and have no commitments for the day — Stac! had a rough night of sleeping,  but she…

  • Workout Fun

    I skipped my workout yesterday — I was worn out from the holiday and just needed a rest. The mental game I play though sometimes makes skipping not worth it.  I start to feel the guilt of every bite I eat and then the thoughts of am I am slipping into the abyss. I know…

  • Sleeping In

    I have got to get back on the clean eating program again.  I have had cookies, pie, ice cream, whipped cream, and BREAD! Yes i did — last night when we were out for Scott’s birthday.  I feel like crap though — not sleeping very well, overall fatigued. Shows what crap eating does to your…

  • You will get Back on Even Ground

    I loved this post by Mel over at The Clothes Make the Girl — because she calls it like she sees it. I am trying to be realistic and realize it’s ok to indulge once in a while — it doesn’t make you a failure or a bad person. You let yourself indulge – nothing…
