I'd say once every three days. They have really helped, I really like it, I kind of felt normal and I could rest easy. <BR> <BR> However, I noticed my period was late. Really late. It's almost three weeks late now. I was worried. I'm not sexually active and I noticed I still had PMS around the same time, but it was terrible. My periods are always on time. That di...

That made me pretty happy. <BR> <BR> Today I thought I'd share my stretching routine with you that I used when I was a brass leader in marching band. We would often spend 8 hours a day marching and running with heavy instruments all summer. I have never been more fit than when I did marching. I was put in charge of a gro...

We cleaned out the back garage storage room one day, put in two doorways, and started gathering cheap workout equipmen... Wed, 6 Jun 2012 01:24:31 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4913418 I woke up at almost 3PM because of how sore I became last night. I was expecting to be sore, but I wasn't expecting this. <BR> There's two other factors that made me sleep probably more than 12 hours as well. I was almost afraid to get up this morning. I just felt like if I moved it would kill me! <BR> <BR> But I've been through this before. When I did marching, I'd have to get up despite feeling like this and go march. You have to power through the soreness- it won't kill you to. After an h...

Later I went on a 2 mile run with Puck. <BR> <BR> <img src="http://photos-ak.sparkpeople.co...

The first thing I realized was that I'd forgotten about one of my plans and I didn't know how I should go about integrating it into my day. <BR> I think that's one of my larger struggles, because I always feel like I have to plan things before I do them. I don't know the right way to approach a schedule if I have to squeeze something in. My first thought was that I should wait and start...

This is a woman's resolve; as for men, they may live and be slaves" -Boudicca <BR> <BR> My main concerns for weight ... Sun, 3 Jun 2012 22:06:09 EST
