Committing to something has its ups and downs, highs and lows. Last night, I went to bed tired and sore (a testament to how out-of-shape I am) and this morning I did not want to get out of bed. I woke up feeling the opposite of rested – grumpy and already resenting the day. Fast-forward,Continue reading “Day 16 of Challenge #1 – Stress Reliever”

Day 15 of Challenge #15 – Halfway There!
It was MLK Day on Monday! While we wish we could have volunteered that day to celebrate the teachings of Dr. King in some way, neither of us got the day off (to be clear, we do volunteer throughout the year). We did, however, both get the perk of being able to work remotely. WorkingContinue reading “Day 15 of Challenge #15 – Halfway There!”
Day 14 of Challenge #1 – Be Patient
Here I was, almost half-way through the 30-Day Challenge of working out 6 days a week, expecting the pounds to melt off. And yet, our physical results all but cemented the certainty that losing weight has more to do with the food you eat than any amount of exercise. We were aware of the science,Continue reading “Day 14 of Challenge #1 – Be Patient”
Day 13 of Challenge #1 – Counter Inertia
Weekends are meant for sleeping in (unless you work on weekends, then I hope weekdays are there for you). A typical Saturday for me is sleeping in until 10 AM, depending on how late I stay up the night before, and rolling out of bed at noon…maybe later. On days like these, I tend toContinue reading “Day 13 of Challenge #1 – Counter Inertia”
Day 11 of Challenge #1 – Support Those Arches
We were in a pickle on Thursday. Our tender feet made us question whether it was a smart idea to do cardio. We were still experiencing a mild case of plantar fasciitis, with the bottom of our soles sore to the touch. I read up a little and much like most ailments, the possible remediesContinue reading “Day 11 of Challenge #1 – Support Those Arches”
Day 10 of Challenge #1 – Diversify Your Workout
We’ve been using the elliptical for the past 8 workouts. It’s been fun-enough, but on Wednesday we decided to switch it up because: 1) I was experiencing plantar fasciitis and 2) it’s nice to have diversity. Hubby got an invitation to play racquetball, which allowed him to socialize while working out. I decided to hitContinue reading “Day 10 of Challenge #1 – Diversify Your Workout”
Day 1 of Challenge #1 – Working Out
New decade, new me – let’s hope! While it’s hard for most people to commit to a goal, I seem to be an extreme example for those who absolutely can’t commit. I know people say if you really want something, you’ll do it, but that has never really been the case for me. The mostContinue reading “Day 1 of Challenge #1 – Working Out”
