So yay! Garmin all charged up, Boo!! NO energy!! I made it through all of my stretching but I only did 1 mile on the bike instead of three and it was a STRUGGLE! Today is all about eating and breathing. My oxygen levels are really down. I wonder if it’s got to do with…

There is a point during recovery week when I am both nauseated and starving. When all I want to do is eat but the thought of any type of food makes me queasy. Hmmmmm

I have patterns. For the last however long in the mornings I do my 15 minutes of stretching and body lifting and then I do 20-30 minutes of cardio. It is equipment dependent not ambition dependent. I have gained a lot of muscle and moved around a lot of fat and I am feeling pretty…

This is day 4 for the Dashing Diva nail strips. I didn’t have a lot of hope for these because the package said you could peel them off for removal. Don’t ever peel things off of your nails especially if your nails are thin like mine, I don’t care what a the package says. Yesterday…

Last night at not a real time o’clock I woke up with a muscle cramp in my calf. It was so bad the muscle (s) tensed up from the bottom of my foot all the way to middle of my rear! OMG I was one giant muscle cramp on the right side. I got it…

Since all my talk the last couple of days has been about my lower body I thought I would keep it going. I grabbed a pair of shorts this morning and then realized I had grabbed them from the no longer fits me pile. Tried them on and THEY FIT! Woo! I think I only…
