Time for a new adventure

Sometimes I feel like I'm the fastest walker among my friends. Maybe it's because of my long legs or maybe because I just want to get to my destination faster. Yesterday Kristina and I went to one of my favourite restaurants, Mongolian Grill - and since she didn't have a bus pass for the month and I wanted my cardio, we walked. According to google maps it was going to take just about 60 minutes to get there. For us, it took 90 minutes. Kristina doesn't have long legs. She has had her mother's car for the past 2 weeks (which obviously I was jealous over) but that's besides the point. Usually she walks, and walks a ton at her own pace but because she had her mother's car, she wasn't nearly walking as much as per usual. So to not surprise she was cramping a few times during our walk to the restaurant. I didn't mind it until I felt a cramp myself - because I was dying to go to the bathroom. The urge started 30  minutes into the walk. And I was like ...

Hey gym, sorry I haven't been around but this time I want to make it long lasting and for reals. I ALMOST skipped the gym and instead went out with K-star. Thankfully though, she was running late to head to her daughters school to pick her up and it was pissing rain out. Usually when it rains I contemplate for awhile about going to the gym. Constantly thinking of excuses of not to go but not today. I guess I had some fight in me to make it to Good Life. Today's workout: leg day!! I'm pretty proud of myself today because I tend to stick to the machines with weights. I hardly ever step outside my comfort zone and go to the free weights but I had some woman in my brain telling me to try a sumo squat with a dumb bell - just try something new - anything. Oh shoot I forgot to log I did side lunges too (no weights). Dang it. Well, I'm glad I tried something new. It's always going to be a learning experience :) Post gym. Literally. I have never been so HANGRY as ...

New month, new start. Well, technically my start will begin on Monday April 3rd. It will be a detox week of vegetables ONLY. Roasted vegetables in the oven or raw veggies .. but really, can you honestly say you crave raw veggies with no dip just plain? Ick. I can't say that at all. Half the time the veggies are so dry it feels like they get stuck partly on my uvula (you know the dangly thing at the back of your throat) - you're welcome, I taught you something. Gross name by the way. There are only two vegetables I can eat raw and they are water based anyways - cucumber and celery. Cucumber is my all time favourite vegetable .. no offense celery, you are great and all but having to bite and have that stringy crap come only a bit - not my thing. It's so tough. I don't have razer blades for teeth. I'm just shaking my head thinking about that.  Good news. I said I would go to the gym early today and guess what? THIS B*TCH DID IT! =) I set my alarm for 6:20 am an...
