Chronicles of A (Trying to Be) Fit Diva
The past week was spent in the city of Chicago. The Mister had a Conference so me and the bambinos decided to tag along and explore the city. Not to offend any Chiacgoans or fans of the Windy City, I was nonplussed by the whole experience especially since I was dreaming of a vacation with [...]
It is RIDICULOUSLY hot out. So hot that I don’t even want to go to our community pool nor my in-laws pool, both of which are less than a mile away from my home. This weather should be illegal in all 50 States and Guam… However the gym is a welcome solace to this heat [...]
It has been a hectic few days…my oldest son Aidan turned 9 on Saturday and it has been crazy with preparing for his birthday party. I was good until the day of his party when I indulged in some wine, some appetizers, and two slices of pizza. So today I have been “detoxing”–salads, veggies, and [...]
It’s 5:30am and I am NEVER up this early unless I am about to catch a flight or one of the bambinos isn’t feeling well. Me and this early in the morning do not mix. It might be that my Mister is traveling so I am getting crummy sleep anyway… Well I decided to do [...]
I weigh myself every morning. As of late (like in the last week) I am finding great “joy” in watching the number go slowly but steadily down. I used to be compulsive about my weighing. I would weigh myself constantly and my moods would reflect the number on the scale. Perhaps I had some sort [...]
It’s Day Five of my healthier eating and back-to-training…I feel pretty good and I haven’t deviated from the plan. No alcohol. No bad carbs. Lots of water. Yesterday morning I endured my first BodyCombat class. BODYCOMBAT™ is the empowering cardio workout where you are totally unleashed. This fiercely energetic program is inspired by martial arts [...]
I had never been much of a soda drinker. I spent most of my twenties drinking lot of water, copious amounts of coffee, natural juices, energy drinks (sparingly) and of course alcoholic beverages. But in the past two years, Diet Coke and Coke Zero has been a crutch. I was drinking it like I should [...]
Today is Day Two of my detox. I feel a little miserable (I’m not going to lie!) to say the least. Lack of carbs is making me headachy and tired. I took a long nap this afternoon and awoke rejuvenated and enthused to make something healthy for the family dinner. I prepared grilled tilapia with [...]
Well today was my D-Day…after a long weekend of gluttonous behavior (July 4th does it to me EVERY year), I endured my first personal training session at my new gym. I didn’t know what to expect. My previous personal trainer was AWESOME and really pushed me to my limits but I was also in MUCH [...]
Wow, I have been MIA for the past three months and I apologize. Who knew a move and acclimating to a new life would take such a toll on my life? I have been neglecting all facets of my social media endeavors and for that I am truly sorry. I feel disconnected and all out [...]
