NROLFW P1W3D3: Project progress reports

Veggie Garden - Lots of baby tomatoes are appearing on my plants. The peppers and eggplants are slower to mature, but one, the Fairy Tale hybrid, is loaded with cute purple flowers. Radishes, mesclun salad mix, pak choi, and beans are all taking off. Mostly I am just watering every 2-3 days now that […]

NROLFW P1W2D3: Back in the groove

I’m happy to announce that I got myself up this morning and did my scheduled NROLFW 1B workout AND followed up with 30 minutes of steady-state on the recumbent bike even though DH opted to sleep in today instead of coming with me, the lazy $#$@#.
(Actually, he only plans to hit the gym every other […]

NROLFW P1W2D2: Back pain and spring cleaning

I unwittingly got in the first of my outdoor bonus activities yesterday for the Pink Dumbbells 2008 Spring into Summer challenge (Sign ups are still open if you want to join up and get some daily motivation as you get ready for summer!) with a HIIT run around my neighborhood. We are having some freakishly […]

April Happenings

I’m not ready to go into another challenge just yet, so I’ll just be chilling this month and working on getting into a maintenance groove. After the TT challenge (still need to take pics, but my digicam decided to die on me last week) and office competition (which my team won, by the way!), I […]

3/7/08 Log: It’s all about the eats

Still hanging at 140.6 today, but my top 4 abs are coming out more each day and I look leaner all around while still muscular and strong. My legs and glutes are sore from Wednesday, and I opted to do Yoga for Athletes this AM instead of TT or HHA. I tried a warmup set […]

3/6/2008 Log: The healthy care and feeding of a non-fitness geek on P90X

No workout this AM because I had to take photos of DH lying on patches of dead lawn and weeds outside the house for use as reference for a mini-game interface I’m working on today. He got a kick out of posing as an injured soldier in his camouflage paintball pants (formerly MY authentic summer […]

3/5/08 Log: Negative Boobage?

140.6 lbs this morning and hopefully on my way down again. Amazingly enough, I didn’t have problems sticking to yesterday’s SGX meal plan even though it was a dreaded non-training day with only one starchy carb meal. Apparently doing the harsh HHA 6-day Slim Down as a crash course in giving up my usual carbs […]
