Our anniversary dinner last night was great! I have to count it as a cheat meal due to the presence of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia and Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream at the end of the meal. DH made broiled Chilean sea bass (with a store-bought Asian fish marinade instead of using [...]
LLCJ W6D4: Stay away from the spreadsheet…I didn’t work out this morning because I stupidly fired up the laptop when I woke up and got sidetracked by Microsoft Money and YNAB, and I am an obsessive-compulsive bean-counter. I got totally sucked into updating my May and June budget numbers for the household, and er…no workout.
Will complete tonight after work and do [...]
LLCJ said I only had to do 30 minutes of MISS cardio today, so I decided to dust off my inline skates and hit the big loop around my neighborhood for a comfortable skate. It’s 3.6 miles around, and took 27 minutes to complete (~7.5 minute mile). I added another 3 minutes to round off [...]
May Makeover Challenge PlansFor the May Makeover Challenge over at Pink Dumbbells, I am going back to basics with my program.
EXERCISE
As of this week, I am doing the program outlined by LL Cool J’s Platinum Workout book (LLCJ) with a week of Red Carpet Ready (RCR) workouts while I’m away from my home and gym on a trip [...]

Absence makes the heart grow fonderI miss the gym.
I really do.
ChaLEAN Extreme is a decent workout now that I am up to my old accustomed weights, but it’s just not the same as going to the gym and lifting heavy chunks of iron surrounded by other people doing the same. For one thing, the $5 bargain mirror I use at [...]
I’ve been a very poor guinea pig for Chalean Extreme so far, electing to just go outside and skate or firing up my familiar Yourself Fitness on the Xbox instead of sticking to the CLX workout calendar. I fully admit this and promise to do a better job going forward. That is why you see [...]
CLX W2D1: Burn Circuit 1 ImpressionsThis morning I did the ChaLEAN Extreme Burn Circuit 1 workout for the second time. I had originally started the program mid-week a few weeks ago, then discovered that it totally throws me off to lift weights on Tues/Thurs/Sat instead of Mon/Wed/Fri, so I’m resetting my weekly start day to Monday this week.
Hey, I [...]
