SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! March 29th
Alright, how is it possible that it's nearly April? It seems like it was just Christmas. Today, I'm going to workout this morning (so hard for me as I'm usually an afternoon person. . .but I know the potluck will involve some treat eating, so I've got to get it in.) I think I'm going to dust off Biggest Loser Cardio Max…

SBF2: Reboot! March 23rd
Morning, pebbles. Today is my early day for teaching. So, the schedule of intention is: Teach, work for two hours on my project, Bikram. and mixed in with all of that: hydrate, vits, eat a lunch I packed and hydrate some more. I'm suffering the effects of too much sodium over the past few days. . .bloatedy-bloat bloat…

SBF2: Reboot! March 22nd
Happy Sunday! So, my day off yesterday was just that. I didn't log food, and walked everywhere, but no structured exercise. It was divine. I ate a biscotti (my first sugar in two weeks), Korean food and had falafel and red wine for dinner. I love the fact that just by walking I was in a Korean neighborhood, an Italian…

Stronger, Better, Faster Challenge March 13
Hi everyone. . . Well, I'm almost afraid to say it out loud, but my matoe-face seems to be on the mend. This is the first day in a week that it hasn't felt like it was on fire, so I'll take it. If I had an enemy, I wouldn't wish this on them. What a drag. No exercise scheduled for today, giving my body one more day to use…

Crock Pot Chicken Tacos
I literally threw this together while the coffee was brewing. Your house will smell like the best Mexican restaurant in town. one onion, chopped one red pepper, chopped (holds its flavor better than a green one) four chicken breasts, boneless and skinless 2 cups salsa chili powder (I like chipotle) to taste (about a tsp. .…

S.B.F. Challenge. . . March 8
Happy Sunday, everybody. I'm taking the day off from exercise and work! I need to recharge for my first dedicated and checked on work week next week. I've been going nonstop for the past three days with no time for just sitting, so today's the day. I even bought magazines and a new herbal tea for the occasion. I'll get in…

S.B.F. Challenge. . . March 6
Morning, pebbles. So, just out of curiosity, I got on the scale this morning. Then, I put the scale in the recycling bin. It said I was up three pounds. But, three pounds of what? It's been acting weird lately (like I've tried to weigh my cats and it doesn't register the difference when I pick them up.) So, I'm pronouncing…

Tilapia was on sale. . .
So, I bought some tilapia and then googled "tilapia recipes". I thought I'd share this link, as tilapia is a healthy protein that goes on sale often. http://ag.arizona.edu/azaqua/ista/recipes.htm There are literally hundreds of recipes for tilapia at this link.

Lifting and hunger
I lift fairly heavy twice a week. Heavy enough that I can barely finish my last set, and I feel it the next day. On these days, I am STARVING later in the day. Cardio and Bikram don't do this to me. . .in fact they both seem to lessen my appetite. Is there a scientific reason for this? It's legitimate hunger, not just "I…

S.B.F. Challenge. . . Feb 23rd
Ooof. . .It's my up-early-Monday. I have to supervise four hours of exams today. This is the most boring task imaginable. I have to look like I'm preventing cheating, so I can't read a magazine or anything. (My philosophy is if they really want to cheat, they'll find a way to do it. I hate cheating, but I also hate being a…

S.B.F. Challenge. . . Feb 15th
Today is a "recovery cardio" (light and short) day. So, just thirty minutes on either the treadmill or elliptical, my waters and my vits. Take care, pebbles. . .:flowerforyou: (In bikram yesterday, the teacher kept referring to the class as "ladies" even though it was over half male. . .it made me feel weird.:tongue: )

Happy Friday the 13th. . .it's lucky. (If you're Italian, I'm told. . . ) Today is weights/elliptical and a party that will most likely involve sweets (since I volunteered to bring dessert. . .) So, I'm planning on extra cardio to balance that out. Other than that, plenty of water, limiting both sweets and wine drinking at…

S.B.F. Challenge. . . Feb 8th
Hi ladies. . .I'm returning to humanity. . .feeling much better. I also found after some "drug experimentation" a cold medicine that doesn't knock me out and lowers the production in my mucus factory. I'm going to try for a walk today, just to get the body moving some. I might also pop in some low-impact dancey DVD if I…

Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth for a few days. . .but I've been sick. . . Today I'm aiming to do a very gentle yoga practice after work. And to hopefully get a walk in. I can't wait to get back to some semblance of a normal schedule. . . Take care, ladies!:flowerforyou:

Morning all. . .where here's what two months of no spinning gets you. . .a sore bum the next day from the seat. . .and a 250 higher calorie burn. Whoa. Serious. I realized I've missed it so, so much. . .I have to figure out a way to do it. . .even during the strike. Today is yoga (in just a few minutes). Take care of…

S.B.F. Challenge. . . Jan 14th
Hi everyone. . . Today is either a day off or bikram depending on what goes down at the Dr. It's all based on how beat-up I feel afterwards, either emotionally or physically. I'm on target with my weekly goals one way or the other. (hooray). No problem getting my waters in today, as I need to have a bladder-ful ultrasound.…

Stronger, Better, Faster Challenge January 6th
Morning, everybody. . . Yesterday I started back in the strike office after having the nerve to take three days off last week. So, I spent yesterday cleaning up many, many messes, and pondering how in the heck a strike can possibly last for two months? (!) Today, I'm going to try to either go to the gym (out of the office…

Morning! Today is bikram, as I finally feel full power enough for it. I also have my first voice student in three years; (finally broke down and hung up my shingle, as I started to miss teaching privately) I'm actually a bit nervous about it. . .which is why I'm awake at such an early hour. I also need to clean the house…
