As I posted earlier, I am going to aim for working out more on the treadmill and walking the dog in March and not relying solely on the Wii to keep me exercising! I took my statement seriously, so much so that as soon as I was done posting, I went downstairs and hopped [...]

During the last half of October, I spent nearly two whole weeks without losing any weight. In the last six days, I have lost six pounds! I think it must have been the incorporation of the treadmill to my daily (or sometimes every other day) routine. How’s that for breaking out of [...]

Well, the YMCA opens at 5am, so when Sarah stirred this morning at 4:45, I thought that if I could get her to go back to sleep, this would be another opportunity for me to get some early morning exercise.
It worked!
I am not generally a morning person, but I did have a great workout [...]

Well, I told my husband yesterday that I insisted that we rearrange our schedules so that I would have a regular time to exercise. I didn’t have much luck finding another mom in the neighborhood that was willing to swap child care duties with me so that we could each go to the YMCA. [...]
