It’s so funny that I’m posting this now as I just return from my 2 hour workout at the gym. Ok, well, maybe it’s not THAT funny, but it struck me that I’m all about exercise lately. I’m really liking this "new active Roni". ;~P
Side note… what is about a turtleneck that makes people [...]

Where are you on your exercise journey?

Date November 19, 2008

I swear "journey" must be the word used most on my blog. Sometimes I think it’s cheesy but when you really think about it, everything we do in life is a journey, a process. You don’t just wake up one day with a new skill, a new habit or even a new perspective. Every day [...]

Weight Training and Body Image

Date August 13, 2008

If you read my blog for sometime you may know I used to be anti "normal" exercise. I hated the gym and I didn’t do any structured workouts. Don’t get me wrong, I stayed active, walked, danced even liked going to the park for a long hike but you wouldn’t catch me dead in the [...]

My Favorite Bootcamp Workout (so far)

Date August 2, 2008

I think I mentioned this last week, but I’ll say it again, my new favorite gym workout is BOOTCAMP! Seriously, it’s fun. We do a variety of activities, it’s different every class and the girls there are so nice.
So far out of of all the things we’ve done (I’ve only been to three [...]

As always this question of the week is inspired by what I’m going through right now. Most people know I’m a gym “immigrant”. When I started this journey I was hell bent on losing weight without exercising because that’s how I lived. So I focused on diet, on learning how to portion control and overall [...]

Killer Ab Workout

It snowed today! For as much as I complain about the winter there is just something fun about snow.  It’s white, fluffy and I get to take frustration out on the husband in the form of a snowball fight. :~P

While I was out shoveling the driveway I was thinking of all [...]

This going back to work thing is KILLING me! I am exhausted! I need to find my grove. Classes start next Monday so I have 1 more week of controlled craziness until the circus really comes to town.
