I am taking the Honesty List Challenge from The Diet Pulpit. The Honesty List Challenge is asking us to be honest about the reasons we are trying to lose weight. Lady Rose was the first one to post her honesty list for why she wanted to lose weight. I have decided to be one of [...]


Well, for me, 15 minutes at 3.0MPH on the treadmill equals 0.75 miles and 76 calories burned. That’s not including any calories I burned walking to the gym at the hospital, going up the stairs from 8th to 9th floor (I took the elevator to 8, I can’t go up that many stairs lol), and [...]


Well, I did the pilates DVD again today. I made it through the entire “moves and techniques” section this time. Yes, I know that’s not exactly a workout, but I was actually already in pain and starting to get a headache so I stopped for a while. I’ll go back to it in a couple [...]

OUCH!

27Apr07

Brian told me I might be sore for a few days, and he wasn’t kidding! Ouch, ouch, ouch! Perhaps I might mention that the areas I clean at work are Laboratory and Same Day Surgery. There are 12 trash cans in Lab alone, and there are 58 trash cans in Same Day Surgery. Plus I [...]


Pilates

26Apr07

Well, the pilates DVD showed up today. I started it, and went through a couple of moves and techniques. I’m taking it slow, since my tummy  muscles aren’t very strong. So far though, the moves are easier than I thought they’d be. I figured they’d be really difficult, or want me to contort myself in [...]


Exercise??

25Apr07

Ok, here’s an interesting question. Now I realize I can do things like pilates at home, I can walk all over the neighborhood, but at work we have a “gym” or more appropriately termed “wellness center.” I wish to utilize this.
Now according to the coordinator for the wellness center, because of my BMI and weight, [...]


Well, today was my pay day, errand day, and of course, grocery shopping day. I forgot to get my (limited amount) of diet sodas, so I’ll get those tomorrow. I don’t plan on getting very much soda so as to break the soda addiction.
However, my shopping list DID include the following healthy/healthier items:
Mixed [...]


Bang Head Here

Well, walking is out for the next 2-3 weeks. I’m now the proud wearer of an air-cast. Walking is possible, but isn’t particularly comfortable since I managed to sprain my ankle. LOL
I have no idea how I did it though. But I have problems with that ankle, so it’s probably just another episode of this [...]
