My company recently launched a wellness program. We first started with biometric testing. Our results were input into a web portal. After that there was a wellness assessment in which I answered questions about my mental and physical health, fitness and exercise, work and personal situations, etc. From there my strengths were identified and areas [...]

For me Vegas means a lot of drinking and a lot of eating with just a little gambling (mostly penny slots as I don’t like to lose my money). Curt and I head to Vegas on Thursday night. Our friends Jen and Dave will join us Friday morning. Jen and I were talking about trying [...]

Today I headed back to the gym. I took the 1 p.m. yoga class. It was a good class and a great way to get back into the exercise and get my gym time in. Tomorrow the plan is to hit the evening Zumba class.

Today is Day 3 of getting back to my healthy lifestyle. I started counting points again with Weight Watchers on Monday. I am not attending meetings (probably should) or doing anything online. My years with WW gave me many of the tools I need to continue on my own. I am trying to mix up [...]

Today on my lunch break I took a yoga class at my gym. I used to regularly take the Tuesday afternoon yoga class. It was a great class and much needed. I realized that I hadn’t taken a yoga class in a little more than two months. It was an amazing workout, really got me [...]

At the gym tonight one of my fellow gym-goers said to me, You’ve lost weight. I thanked Rona. But I told her that my weight is actually going in the other direction. Her husband, Jim, mentioned the whole thing about muscle weighing more than fat. I have always thought that was a myth. I mean [...]

There is a woman at the gym who I happen to take several classes with who bathes in perfume before she comes to class. I know she does because I can smell it at the 9 a.m. spin class on Saturdays. It was pretty pungent at the evening Zumba class tonight. I kept trying to [...]

The past few weeks I have struggled to get to the gym–but I still managed to work out four times a week. This week is looking like … 0. I had every intention to go to yesterday’s noon spin class. Then an unexpected meeting came up. I have every intention of trying the noon Zumba [...]

I attended the noon spin class today at the gym. Sometimes it is difficult to get to the gym in the middle of the day. But once I am there and especially after class I feel great. The Thursday evening class is now at 5:30–which is a little difficult for me to get to. A [...]

Man, Zumba is getting more and more fun. I am feeling more comfortable with the steps and moves. And class today seemed more intermediate than beginner. Maybe because it is getting a little more advanced I was really sweatin’. My shirt was drenched. I almost need to wear one of those sweatband things. (Check out [...]
