Haven't done one of these posts in a while..

Going to a new place in town for lunch today with a friend.  I'll probably just get 1/4 chicken (dark meat) but who knows.  

What would you get here?  

Still loving my new workout program - yay.  Lifting weights makes me feel strong.

It's Friday!  That means it's almost the weekend!  And I woke up with the first twinges of a sinus infection, so I'm looking forward to a restful weekend of feeling better.

Thursday is always my busiest day since I spend my morning exercising then I leave for school at 3pm and don't get home until around 10pm.

I woke up feeling like death warmed over this morning.  My whole body ached.  My shoulders and hips especially.  So I reset my alarm to skip pilates and go to yoga and relaxation.  I woke up with enough time to get to yoga, but my stomach had other ide

It's Tuesday!  My Tuesdays (and Thursdays) are infinitely better since rearranging my exercise schedule.  It works better with my school schedule.

What's your plan for the week?  

Last week was my first full week with my new plan and a) I did it and b) it was AWESOME.  I've started lifting AND a half-marathon training plan.  I dropped a few fitness classes to make time for the added lifti

Quick post to get this started before I run out for my Monday things.

Yay Sunday.  I've got a busy day ahead, and a busy day already behind me, so my meals are a bit strange.  It's a 2-shake day due to time constraints and driving time.  

I finished up my first week of my new exercise schedule and I'm really happ

Not really sure what I'll be eating today since we're going to a party this afternoon.  I've made beef stew, so at least there's that!

Today was a bad eating day. Sorry self. You deserve better. I need to do something about my meal timing. I've been eating lunch too close to breakfast and then, understandably, I'm hungry by the time we eat dinner close to 8pm. I need to get back

I'm not entirely sure what I'll be eating for dinner, since it's leftover night. I might just have tofu since I already had delicious leftover pulled pork for lunch. Although I think there's a lone burger patty in the fridge that might be a good opti

My therapist and I determined that I need the accountability of posting my meals daily, so I guess I'll be starting this thread if no one else does!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm changing up my workout routine! I'm taking Personal Trainer Fundamentals to earn my ACE Personal Trainer Certification and every time I study I'm left with the overwhelming urge to START LIFTING NOW. However.. t

I've been trying to check in every few days, and there are so many posts I want to reply to, but I just have so little time.

College is going well - I'm in my first term of my associates in Exercise and Sport Science. I'm on track to graduat

I'm working on revamping my fitness schedule and I've got a question. I currently stretch after I run, as one should. However, I'm going to start adding weight lifting to the days I run because a) I want to start lifting (again) and b) New Rules of L

I had to go to target today to buy pajama bottoms since I'm unexpectedly in PA with my parents and forgot to pack my pajamas.

I should not be allowed in clothing stores on my own, since I sort of love to shop now...

My periods used to be absolutely horrific when I was young which is why I was on BCP for the last 20 years.  I stopped taking them about 9 months ago and figured my period would return as the horrific experience it had been and that I'd get back on BCP

My first "longer than a 5k" race was yesterday.  I did the Navy Air Force 5 miler in DC!  I'm still recovering from my hip injury, so I haven't been running or training, just healing and doing physical therapy.  But I ran for 1 minute out of every 9, a

Monday - physical therapy (I fired my physical therapist last week and started with a new one today.  Much, much happier.)

Tuesday - physical therapy, walk, yoga stretching, yoga class, pilates class

Wednesday - pilates class, yoga clas

It’s my eighteen month surgiversary. My life feels unrecognizable to me sometimes.

The last six months, which was when I posted my year surgiversary post, has b

The first full week of my new schedule!  Sort of.  I have appointments on Thursday and Friday that are causing deviation.  I still can't run (or aikido) due to my hip, but I think it's getting better with physical therapy.  

Monday - yoga

I'm officially a college student.  It's super challenging so far, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.  Lots of time management and planning and reading.  One of my classes is Nutrition and Weight Management which seems like it'll be the most enjoya

I'm looking for advice. 

At the beginning of May, I started a 10k training plan. I've got a 10k in 53 days. Then I injured myself and I had to stop running at the beginning of June. I haven't been able to run since then, but I'm in physical the
