Fitness Friday – The Return

For those of you who’ve been reading since the beginning you may recall my brief dalliance with the push-up and sit-up challenges. You may also recall my recent enthusiasm for a well priced blue ball. This time I think I’ve found something I can stick to. You’re intrigued. I can tell.

New Fitness Toys

The fitness wagon has been a bumpy ride all month long. I’ve been thrown off quite a few times ::cough:: this week::cough:: But never you mind all that. I have been spending more time in the gym. Yeah me! I also bought some new fitness toys. I’ve been whining about getting one of these since last month. Lo and behold providence shone down on me one fateful evening . . .

Checking In

Oh The Times I’ve Had

I entered a wedding contest. Not so surprising. I got picked to be a contestant. Huh, that’s new. I got unpicked. That’s more like it. I got re-picked. Say what now?!? Exactly. Holy hell muffins!

To be continued. . .

In other news:

Last week’s check-in?

Yeah, about that. . .

I went to the gym on Monday like usual but it just went downhill from there. Plus, there was all this leftover Halloween candy... You can see where this is going.

I'm officially calling a mulligan on week 4.

Week 5 so far? Gyming it up two days in a row! Holler!!

Saturday Fitness Check In - Week 3

The third week is usually the make or break week. I'm delighted to report that I made it despite my many issues.

100 Push-ups Challenge
100 Sit-ups Challenge
Check the links above if none of what I'm saying below makes any sense.

Monday - Gym-ed it up with my face still numb from my recently completed dentist appointment. Forgot to do the challenge exercises.

Tuesday - Remembered that I had to do a challenge test to see which column to complete for week 3.

Wednesday - Umm... actually did the challenge test.

Thursday - Completed day 1 of week 3. Still on column one.

Friday - Completed day 2 of week 3. Walked the pup.

Saturday - Completed day 3 of week 3. Yipeee!!

The aforementioned pup.

That's why it's a Saturday update and not a Friday update.

Still trucking!

Fitness Friday: Check In - Week 2

I'm proud of myself...well just a little bit. Here's the rundown:

Monday - Gym-ed it up! I also did the challenge exercises.
Tuesday - Nada. Booo!
Wednesday - Challenge exercises
Thursday - Nada. Booo!
Friday - Challenge exercises

Well, you might be saying to yourself, "Gee what's she proud of?" It's all about the baby steps. I'm happy I went to the gym and completed week 2 of the challenge thingy.  

Sooooooo.... GO ME!!

Fitness Friday: Check In - Week 1

This is all about accountability. In college (Woot! Woot! Barnard!) I had a fitness buddy. She lived on campus and I commuted. We met up around 9ish in the AM to get our workout on. Guess who is NOT a morning person? Yours truly. Nevertheless, I woke up and dragged my lazy self uptown to meet my buddy. Why?
