True to my word, I kicked it up a notch this week.  Here was the schedule: Monday: Hike with roommate Tuesday: 40 minute intervals of running and walking, two sets upper body weights, crunches Wednesday: Walk at lunch (I think?) Thursday: 45 minute intervals, 1 set of weights for each muscle group (upper + lower) [...]

Pounds lost: 1-2 lbs Inches lost: waist = the same,  hips = -  1.5″,  chest = – 1.5″, bust = – 1.5 ” (a lovely illustration of what the homeopathic remedy of Arnica is made from) This week has been an okay week. I hopped on the scale this morning and I’m down a pound [...]

Looking back over this chapter I started around [...]

Hello again! Let me start out by apologizing for last week–I totally fell off the earth! My posting day was actually on Christmas, and it slipped my mind…and continued to slip my mind until I remembered THIS week’s post. Yikes. A bulleted list, to sort out all the little points that would make for the [...]

And so it is… the end of chapter II. What I’ve learned… My self-esteem and body-image varies from day-to-day and I need to focus more on enhancing my mood than enhancing my body (which should come as result of the mood enhancement, yes?).
