Kelly’s Week 6

Kelly’s Blog – Week 6 One day until I leave for vacation and I am right on track!! I feel like I just wrote a blog and don’t have too much to report this week. Once again, I have been on point with my food and have increased my cardio exercise (I had a little more time this week). I did a pyramid leg work out on Tuesday that Angela gave me and my legs are quite sore today (Thursday). I plan to get the chest/shoulder workout in this afternoon. My house is clean, my bags aren’t packed yet, but I am ready to get on the road. We will be with family all week, which I am really looking forward … [Read more...]

In the past, I would have probably ordered regular eggs with a side of grits and regular bacon (then had a taste or two of my kid’s left over pancakes). So again…another food milestone of making good choices. That is really what it is all about in … [Read more...]

Kelly’s Week 4

Kelly’s Blog So, this week started out great – shoulder workout, plus a 10 mile bike ride, then Tuesday a leg workout, plus Pilates & Kickboxing, Wednesday I worked out with my girlfriend and then painted a room….then Thursday!! WHAM!!!! I went for a walk on Thursday and my right knee gave out and I haven’t been able to walk very well since. It is a very defeated feeling, but I didn’t head straight for the refrigerator or pantry…sooooo…that is good. The pain level is about where it was two months ago (back to not sleeping well). But, I am not going to let it get me down. I am just going … [Read more...]
