Top Ten Gym Quotes

October 11, 2013


I'm still going to the gym at least three days a week. Haven't lost an ounce but can now lift 50 pound bags of bird seed and cat food without complaint. The best part about my classes is when it is "cool down" time and I know I have survived!



10. Let's do another set.


9. One minute plank.


8. Hips tucked under  and lunge. (Still working on the lunge. It is not easy!)


7. Squeeze those glutes.


6.  Let's do squats. Stick your butt way out (not a problem) and put all your weight on your heels.


5. Low and slow.


4. Lie down on your mat and put your legs in the air. ( My personal favorite)


3. Dead lift.


2. Shoulders back, chest proud. ( I find myself doing that even when I'm NOT at the gym.)


1. And we're DONE!

Living on the Edge

December 13, 2012



The Edge. Means many things. To me today it refers to the gym. One of the good things about getting emotionally battered in a divorce is not eating. Losing weight like crazy! Having people ask me if I was sick! No one was ever concerned before that I was TOO thin. I was getting compliments at a time when I have never felt worse.

But alas, the good and bad thing about getting better means returning to the table. Eating is one of my favorite past times. I love to enjoy a good meal with family and friends. And now I found that I like to cook! What to do?

Later today I'm meeting a friend at The Edge, the gym. The same friend I HAVE traveled to the edge with on our medical missions. Not that she needs it but I DO! Especially because I have to travel to Thailand with her soon and we are planning a short island respite after the mission. Time to get in shape! But Lor, how about a snack after Pilates?!!!
