today, I did yoga and went on my walk at lunch. And then I signed back up for Weight Watchers. In 2007, I was struggling with my weight and my overall health when a friend suggested WW. Over the next two years I lost about 55lbs, while completing two half Read more…
When I woke up this morning, having failed to do my yoga OR my walk yesterday, I was about as uninterested in my workout as I could be. I started my stupid crab kicks and they were hard and made my elbow hurt. Then the bear crawls or whatever made Read more…
I woke up to a call from work and they didn’t stop until 4. No break for morning yoga, no chance to walk at lunch—and then I was behind on school related work, which I just finished. Today, life happened, as it was bound to. My goal tomorrow is to Read more…
I was going to do several things today, including write a bit about skate parks in the fifth and sixth grade. I didn’t do any of the things on my list. Instead, I did the things that “came up.” This often means ‘the things on someone else’s list’ but that Read more…

A habit is a tendency. An addiction is a compulsion. A routine is a sequence performed regularly. Today in my ab workout, I was pleasantly surprised by the slightest better balance in the dreaded crab kick. But I was bummed out overall by how deeply and strongly I did not Read more…
I was hardly sore today! I know that yesterday’s workout is supposed to really hit tomorrow, but I still think it is progress. My sun salutations were a bit smoother than on Friday, but I can still feel some pain in my knees when I step back into a lunge. Read more…
