journal entry
According to the BMI machine at the gym, I’ve lost a pound of fat. Anyway, I have taken a week off sort of to experiment with yoga and rehab my knee and shoulder. Shoulder is fine. I had a killer workout last week. I do not think I will go any heavier than 25# dumbbells and twenties on an olympic bar. I am going to mix it up a little and do different workouts so I can keep things interesting.
I had food poisoning yesterday. I called the gyno thinking it was my fibroid but today I feel great and my belly is flat...FLATTER than usual I want him to see if it is getting bigger or if all t ... read more Ready for Raw...again! 17 y
raw food challenge
100% raw... I want to see if I can do it in a small town with only a Walmart and a BiLo for food sources. I’m giving it one week.

what goes in a gym journal...it's personal and FUN
I went to the gym last night. I decided to use my new Moleskine
http://armandfrasco.typepad.com/moleskinerie/
as a catch all journal to ’sync’ with my palm pilot. One night I left my Palm TX at the gym and thankfully it was still there when I went to get it the next day. Anyhoo, I haven’t tricked out the moleskine yet but down went the workout I had AFTER my titanic heated discussion with my sister-in-law. I had a severe headache so I decided to go to the gym. It’s my last day of my membership. Speaking of what I am going to renew it next week. I need a place to go. GYm is like church. ... read more Hanging in there...money quotes 17 y

Jul 16-
I know that green smoothies are definately KEY to a clear complexion for me. I don’t really want to go into detail but I had some learning experiences this past week.
Today I went back to the gym and had a great workout. I also got to sit in the sauna a little bit. Tomorrow is the detangling and blowout/trim project of my hair. Today was the first day I stepped into the gym feeling like a winner, a pro, a real female bodybuilder and fitness fanatic. I think I realise that my health is 100% in my hands and my responsibility. No more doing enough to get by and maintain for ... read more Day 13.5 end of day report 17 y
day's wrap up
So my husband printed my sister’s tax return and it’s off and in the mail :-) I expressed to him that I need him to pay attention. I guess that’s how men are...or some husbands I should say. My hubby needs gentle prodding sometimes. Anyway, it turned out to be a good day.
My achievements:
1. cleaned most of the fridge out
2. threw out more garbage
3. ordered bodybuilding supplements
4. called regarding my highschool transcripts
5. meditated but fell asleep during my half hour break :D
I allowed myself to be affected by what should have been a MINOR irritation this morning. I ret ... read more Day 13- Woke Up Irritated 17 y
a morning rant
All the Holy Land rosary shows were deleted from youtube.com Too bad. Some of us don’t get up at 7:30 am and miss it. Reminded me of when I asked my husband three times to save the shows on digital recorder and he never did. I guess he can do it tomorrow but it seems I have to repeat everything three times in order to get him to do it. I spent an hour thinking of ways to get ready for my day and it is now 10 am so I’ve burned through about an hour and a half. Must make this morning count. Go wake up my husband and tell him to get a clue and get going.
I got so much done on the two days ... read more Day 10...tax refund in time news 17 y
catch up on my 100 day reality project/26 week weight makeover
The same day I made my money manifestation post, my tax refund came in the mail. I avoided a disaster and had $100 remainder. I also got a lot of overtime. I’ve been working A LOT and now I’m going to taper down my OT and rejuvenate myself. Today was day one of two days off from work. I took a vacation day because it was MUCH NEEDED.
Here’s what I accomplished today:
1. took out two old futon cushions...the frame will be pulled to the curb tomorrow morning by my husband.
2. threw out a bag of garbage
3. started a clothes donation bag so I can throw all my old clothes in it tomorro ... read more Money Manifestation! 17 y
Million Dollar Experiment
Go to stevepavlina.com and the find the Million Dollar Experiment... I am starting this today. Any other day I probably would have gotten irritated about not having enough money in my account but it’s not important. What is important is setting up my attitude for the day.
I’m not sure why I can’t cut and paste. Either way, I’m going to pdf it and put it on my palm pilot. visit the page Decluttering "Weekend"n and Thursday 5 July 2007

quick journal entry
Actually, it’s tuesday and wednesday. I’ve been working non-stop and decided to take two days off in a row. Tuesday is cleanup and throw out as much stuff as possible. When I first moved here, I cleaned out my husband’s ’bathroom’ and had twenty bags of garbage. Anyway, it’s not as easy to visualise a luxurious apartment if I’m knocking over empty beer bottles in the morning. No amount of positive thinking can overcome filthiness.
I plan to do a lot of writing on my trip today. I have to go with a resident on an appointment. Lots of writing and reading of the 100 day reality challenge ... read more green smoothie a day 17 y

brief thoughts
My body ran amok a while back with stress. I do feel a certain equilibrium coming back to me thanks to meditation, prayer, running and evening primrose oil pills. Now that my knee is in good shape again, I’m going to start riding my bike in the morning again. I feel it’s time to get moving again and continue with the program. My funds are really short and thankfully my mom sent me off with a bag of grapefruit and oranges. I’ve cut out soy milk, opting to drink rice milk which cheaper and almost as good tasting in coffee and tea. I’ve started using matzoh as my ’bread’. I still eat cereal. ... read more 2007 Long Island Half Marathon in the can! 17 y

today's journal
My touchpad on my ibook does not work anymore. Should have bought the powerbook. Such is life. Anyway, I’ve not been able to get on the computer with much regularity because I have to use my husband’s desktop. My intake of rawfoods has steadily increased. I am juicing almost every day. I missed yesterday but today I’m juicing. I’ve begun the habit of bringing a bag of apples to work with me to snack on. My snacking on cooked foods has markedly decreased.
I’ve had two major revelations related to my current state of mind and fitness. The first and most important is the way I view other p ... read more day 1/2 of 100% raw eating 17 y
beginning of my rawfood diet
Well I decided to go raw for 30 days of this 90 day challenge, taking it one day at a time. I was motivated to do this because of a depression episode I experienced this morning. Call it an early life crisis if you will. This is going to be an experience through the wonderful world of rawfoods and using the rawfood diet for weightloss. I am going to be utilising raw/living foods in all its forms for weight loss and beauty enhancements. This is not for vanity. This is to show the world that rawfoods will bring a woman into her OWN natural beauty not what the advertising industry says. I wil ... read more |
