Slowly back on the Path to Health

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

I cannot believe I haven't posted a blog in over a year. Maybe it is because I haven't been getting my regular workouts, and therefore haven't been making use of the spark site as much. I finally believe my achilles tendonitis may be on the mend. It has been 4 days with only minor pain at points throughout the day. I almost cannot believe it. It is strange to not have pain in my foot and be prepared to cringe in agony with each step I take. I haven't been to the gym in 9 months because of it. The past couple weeks I have been slowly beginning to use my recumbant cycle at home. Depending on how the rest of the week goes, I may just venture to the gym this weekend, and put the foot to the real test. I certainly need to get back. I just am not motivated enough to do enough on my own, even with the foot limitation. There certainly are other things I could do as opposed to walking, running, and using the ellipticals to get fit. Maybe I just don't want it bad enough. Well, I do want it - my problem I think is I am just too lazy to go about it. I would rather be reading a good book - but even that I can do while working out. So it is NO excuse. Have a good day all!

  

Cruise over now what

Friday, May 30, 2008

I have been back two weeks now from my fun vacation with my sister. I took a week afterwards and didnt go to the gym. I returned this week. The first day was difficult. I mean, my motivation had been a great deal based on looking good for our holiday. Now I need a new motivation. I will be 40 in less than two years-where did that time go. I have decided to become fabulously fit at 40. Woooooooooooooohoooooooooooooo.

So, since my last blog, the scale moved a few pounds. That is good. I am motivated again. My vacation is in 3 weeks-swimsuit time. I know I will lose weight there, contantly moving around the ship and on excursions, but I would like to already be tip top when I get there. On the flip size that would mean my size 14 clothes I have all ready to pack would be too big. It's double-edged feelings. My sister is taking a kick box class. Two nights ago I started doing powerups, my legs are burning a little, and I didn't do that many. I need to be able to keep up with my sister. She is a fast walker and I am not. but Oh, the fun we will have, and I am feeling much better than if I wasn't working out at all, weight loss or not.

  

What does it take?

Obviously I am not doing enough because I stepped on the scale today and it hasn't moved really since I began going to the gym. I know my shape has changed a bit with the inception of weight training, but other than that I am still the same. I really wanted to be spectacular for my vacation in just under 7 weeks. I will still have a good time, but all the insecurities are there.

  

Feeling good

Tuesday, March 18, 2008

Good morning all,
I am turning into a morning person. Don't get me wrong I like nothing better than being nice and cozy in my bed, but I feel sooooooooo Great after my morning workout. There are only 8 weeks until my vacation with my sister, so I am stepping up my routines. I may not lose weight before than but I will feel great-I already do. Have a great day people.
