Today Is Not That Day

One of the many reasons why I have started this fitness journey is the fact that it is now spring.  And spring means more time outdoors swimming, hiking, and riding bikes.  And to kick off the season, I have received a new bike as a gift!  Today I got the call that my new bike from Trek, the 7.4 FX, just came in!  We'll still waiting on the new seat I ordered but I am hopeful that it will be in by the weekend!  I am so excited I cannot wait to get it out and on the road!  In case you are curious as to what the 7.4 FX is...follow the links I've provided (I'm getting the white bike)!  And of course when I bring that bad boy home I will post pictures!  The good news is, I am keeping my old bike, which is a hybrid, so I can take that off-road when the mood strikes.  Suffice it to say, I am one happy camper!

Cook Book Review! Mug Meals

I won't lie...when I saw the title and the cover of this book I couldn't resist downloading a copy and doing a review on it.  I love to cook, but my schedule doesn't often allot me time in the kitchen to make what I want.  Being on a clean diet, this can cause issues if I don't schedule the time to plan ahead.  This book has given me a lot of great ideas for fast meals on the fly when I don't have a lot of time; and the bonus - you have to cook them one at a time so this is perfect when you are the only one eating.  You can guarantee I will definitely be trying out many of these recipes!

Tackling Day 1: Working Out With Pets

I have always found that day 1 of any goal is never the hardest.  Motivation is at the forefront of our psyche and eating right and exercising are a breeze.  Yesterday wasn't that bad.  For once, I didn't forget to eat (this is a side effect of being a writer and an artist...when I get "in the zone" of creating, I lose track of time), and I actually scheduled time to work out.  I'm still waiting for my P90 workout to arrive in the mail, but I have plenty of workouts videos and I decided to pull out my Karen Voight's Yogasculpt as an easy transition into working out.  And I'm happy I chose that one.  There is something to be said for yoga realigning your spine and this morning, I actually work up without the usual back pain I have grown accustomed to. Of course, working out with pets can be challenging.  It is amazing how they can ignore me for hours on end but the minute I put on a movie, or pull out my yoga mat, they want to play.  When I lo...

Temptation

temptation [ tem(p)ˈtāSHən ] NOUN a desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise There is nothing stronger than the pull of temptation when you are on a diet.  I don't know about you, but when I tell myself I want to eat better, I am usually drawn to the food that I was never interested in before my diet.  But somehow...when I know it is "restricted"...that is when I want to eat ten times of it. Many of the struggles I have heard from friends and loved ones when trying to eat healthier, is the availability of the tempting food within their house.  Living alone makes this easier for me because I am the one in charge of the grocery shopping.  Avoiding the aisles filled with tantalizing delights is a breeze.  This makes it even easier to avoid when I am at home, because it just isn't there for me to eat.  When I have a craving for sweet or salty goodness, I have only fruit or nuts to choose from.  Truth be told, I'm n...
