Exercise Ball
Posted by: Kathy on: September 14, 2009
My SIL has an exercise ball, and said she really likes it — it works your core, abs, etc. I also read somewhere that someone uses it as a chair at the computer — she said it more or less forces her to sit upright, unconsciously working her abs. That sounded pretty cool. So, I [...]
I ran…
Posted by: Kathy on: August 30, 2009
… and I’m not talking about the country. I’m saying I ran. I actually ran. Because I wanted to. I actually wanted to run. How weird is that??
In trying to get my husband to exercise (because I think it will help him with his stress levels and fatigue and sleeping poorly), I decided to suggest [...]
P90X update
Posted by: Kathy on: June 12, 2008
We got the P90X set in last week, and my husband and I did the first video in the “lean” program on Friday. We were going to start the program full-bore then, but since the program is basically set up for “day 1″ to be Monday, with the “rest” day on Sunday, we decided to [...]
I didn’t know *that* could hurt!
Posted by: Kathy on: June 7, 2008
So, yesterday I did my first P90X workout — the Core Synergistics one. Of course I didn’t do it right along with them — not only were the moves for the most part completely unfamiliar, but I’m out of shape, and couldn’t physically keep up with them. And that’s okay. I did what I could [...]

Ok, so I’ve taken a break from losing weight. Yeah, right — totally and completely fell off the wagon — stopped watching what I ate, stopped exercising, stopped everything, and gained my weight back. But that’s gonna change.
My husband and I ordered the P90X system (got it off of eBay). We did the preliminary stuff [...]
I just don’t get it

My husband is wanting to lose weight. Great! I’ll make healthy stuff for you to eat. Nope. He wants to eat the same stuff, just less of it. Okay, that’ll work–I’ll dish out less for you. So he gets seconds, or he starts snacking an hour later. Fine, so I’ll pack you healthy stuff for [...]
Not as bad as I feared
Posted by: Kathy on: February 11, 2008
….but not as good as I hoped. I did gain back 1 pound from my total weight loss. So I’m typing this short post and then going to work out. I have written down my calories today–and I’ve been hungry so I must have been eating more than I thought I did last week. [...]
I’m in my jeans!
Posted by: Kathy on: January 28, 2008
I feel like I’m melted and poured into them, but I can actually put them on and button them, which two weeks ago, I couldn’t! Today is my weekly weigh-in day, but I forgot to weigh myself before I ate breakfast, so I decided just to skip it. I haven’t been exercising this whole past [...]
Today
Posted by: Kathy on: January 23, 2008
I’m slacking up a little this week. I guess I’m blaming my husband’s 3-day weekend getting me off kilter. I didn’t exercise all weekend; but I did do a video on Monday. Then I didn’t do one yesterday and haven’t done one today (but there’s still time). I pigged out on Sunday (see my daily [...]
Not “them” — ME!

I must have “body dysmorphic disorder”–you know, when you see yourself differently from how you actually are. I’m just kidding of course. I don’t like the terminology of mental illness–it seems so defeatest–”the devil made me do it” and “I can’t help it”-ism.
The truth is, I don’t appear to myself the way I really am–and [...]
