Broken Toe.Now what?Lots of situps with feet in air? whoot. exciting.Possibly the stupidest injury ever. You can't do ANYTHING. And there is nothing can be done for you.I'm on crutches to help carry the weight...but the pain oh the pain. Situps will be easy after dealing with this little injury.Might go to one crutch...maybe.The lesson learned from all this? One bottle of champagne okay...Two...

Back from Vacay and it's been one week. I finally feel normal again. Sleeping, eating and living. It's a great feeling.Now the sun is out in Vancouver it's a abalmy 17 degrees Celcius and the idea of working out seems to be a lost cause.I will have to find my rhythm again. But not this weekend. I am hosting a shin dig that will for sure grant me a lovely hangover on Sunday. Wouldn't expect less

I'm back from vacation...lost 5 lbs. I think it's because I didn't snack...sort of. And it's because I didn't really like the food and the idea of continuous American Buffet at these 4star establishments in Egypt was kinda disgusting. Also, eating in London is expensive. OH and food poisioning from a little ice cream at the musical's interval has also cured my love of ice cream. For now

Not sure what's wrong. Knee popping good times all around.No gym this week. No desire to even do an ab workout.Status: Not Good.Also, no beach vball team right now. Really hoping one comes along. I need, want, desire to play.Knee must get better. Vball team must come along.If I will it, all this will happen right? RIGHT?

So my friend has a spot available. Free of charge for me to participate in the outdoor 10Km run through Vancouver. However, I probably will walk and run. I stopped training outdoors in February due to travel and the fact that my body doesn't like running in the cold. Like I can't breath and feel like I"m going to die. Hopefully that won't happen on Sunday morning.

Club 15 is the brain child of Jenny who also blogs her world on All Eyes on Jenny .It's all very basic. You log in and tell her how many workouts you've done in one month, the goal being 15, but when her Dad [also a member] busts out a 28...you feel like you could do more. Hence the motivation and competition.The best part is, that is for everyone across the globe to join. It's all about

Last Sunday I strapped on the court shoes, pulled on the knee pads, taped up the fingers and flew across the court playing the game that I love and have missed and thought I would never be able to play again. And I can.This is my game. Volleyball.I have been a fan of it since I was 12. I enjoy the strategy, the angles, the power and the true team effort. All without physical contact with the

Well, aside from the fact that it still hurts, I push on!Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week were the first time I've been able to get up at 5:30am to head out for a run!

That's all I had in me yesterday. 30 min walk/run thing on the dreadmill. I was doing 2 and 2 for the first 20min then I just said "f*ck it" and ran for the last 12 min. All because the gym put a time limit on the dreadmills to 30min. So now there is really no way to complete the 45min run cycles if it's busy. Another push for me to go outdoors.Also, my shoulder was acting up. I'm not entirely

Well it's been one full week until I hit the treadmill again. Today. I did just that. I left the office at 5pm on the dot. Returned to the "high end" Best Western, and changed into the workout attire that I brought and hit the rickety old treadmill.I'm not to comfortable running outside here in Reno. It's not a sidewalk friendly city, especially where I am staying, right by the airport. In fact..

So much for eating healthy. This past week has been a gong show for trying to eat right let alone hit the gym. Wednesday to Friday was brutal and I'm not done. Currently I'm in Nevada for work. Ergo, I haven't worked out in 5 days and now I don't have a stocked fridge with healthy options.2 hours in Reno - Grilled Chicken Ranch BLT sandwich....from...McDonalds.

I have to brave the outdoors or else this is fruitless, pointless.Unfortunately, it's really, really, really, really cold outside. Therefore no running outside.

Last night was the first time in ages since I've run outside. I have been running/walking inside on the tread mill. But you put me outside and all of a sudden different muscles are working. Breathing is different. It's definitely harder.It's nice to have a partner to run outside with at least once a week. Crystal and I are both walking and running and we are on the same schedule and same tempo.

Arms/Squat with DB & some weight machines. good.Abs - Crunches = good.Trying to work the lower abs felt like I was tearing out my abdomen by my hands.

okay...so I guess I lied. I still partied like a rockstar this past weekend, however, I didn't look at my reflection in anything but a mirror. however, I did go to the gym twice last week and did the kickboxing and Floor Hockey [floor hockey while a bit tipsy doesn't bode well for me].to take my exercise seriously, no alcohol before any exercising activity. I think it's counter productive. but I

oh geez i suck at remembering to blog about the fact that i'm not exercising...oh wait....guess i'm not forgetting anything, except that this is a comittment to myself not just to my readers. all two of you. thanks cuz's. after last Friday night's escapade i think i've had enough. as i watched my reflection in the toilet bowl, i realized that being almost 30 on the bathroom floor for an entire

wow...one month later. and not much has changed except that i have no more time for myself than i did before i went to St. John's, NL for work. who knew a month could fly by so fast.i have more inspiration now than ever to start taking care of myself. this new guy that i'm dating [sparkle sparkle ] is completely fit and takes care of himself, surprisingly it doesn't intimidate me, it just makes

well I'm not the biggest loser, and watching the show last night was a bit of a rude awaking....i will not get on a good scale for fear of it being accurate. however, i have noticed that the weight the ladies are almost at is close to what I may or may not weigh depending on the scale.the episode had the contestants working out without a gym. there should be no excuse for not having a gym...i

what the heck am I going to do??? I need motivation. I need something to get me off the couch.being jet lagged doesn't help...the last week i've been in St. John's, NL and I'm exhausted now back in Vancouver trying to figure out what day it is and what's going on.any ideas?

last night i went back in time to a period of my life which i must admit wasn't really all that great. it was when i was 12 years old and had to play games in gym class. games such as dodge ball, hand ball and floor hockey. last night i played floor hockey. as expected i have not developed a great love for those intramural sports that you played while growing up. so you wonder why would someone

i'm down and out for the count with a cold. sidelined from this weeks ambitions of going to the putting green to get in some extra practice, or walking anywhere for more than two blocks. this thing has wiped me out.i have watched Breakfast At Tiffany's and exhorbent amount of times now. it is my favorite movie and the best movie to rest too.

After a Saturday of shopping, drinking and dancing...dancing is s a good workout right? I hit the links on Sunday morning.Well not actually the links, more like the putting green. And it was a group lesson. But I now can putt and my core really got a good work out as well as my shoulders and back muscles. It was insanely hard for 1 hour of work.Now I just have to shake this cold I just got this

as the weekend approaches i have to make a plan and stick to it. i think it's safe to assume i'm not one for the gym, so i'm trying to do things that are active.currently i'm just talking the talk.walk more. nope.start running. not allowed. esp after my softball flight experiment, my knee is still not 100% and therefore i'm a bit skeptical to strain it.floor hockey. starts in a couple weeks.

Nothing healthy or excercise worthy of my weekend, unless bicep curls and a drinking game called Penalty Shots is sportif enough.Time to work.

naturopaths like thier vitamins and special expensive pills. to get myself healthy i have returned to my naturopath and am now taking fish oil, PGX, some Gluco something or other and two suspicious liquids 20 drops a day that taste awful. and to add to the expensive list....some wierd smelling ginger like pill to combat a parasite.more testing by some random GP, whom i can convince there is a

Friday night was a stagette that included a pole dancing class. it was a fricking hot night and combined with not enough water and a bit of alcohol i was definitely feeling the buzz. the pole dancing is fun and a good work out. however...i value my shoulders and it's just not something i can do more than once right now. we had fun. the bride had such a good time, especially when we went dancing a

I guess it's only expected that upon trying to correct a back problem that took 8 years to happen, there is going to be a little bit of pain and discomfort once you start to fix it.so i'm going to complain a bit.my upper back is really sore and stiff. i'm unable to sleep because both my left and right shoulders are in pain. my lower back is sore from sitting in all day. and i am experiencing a

living in lovely vancouver, canada there are a few things that we have at our disposal as tax paying citizens. one of those things is “free” health care. i say “free” because unless you are living in poverty you pay a monthly sum to have access to “free” doctor visits and surgical procedures covered. good system, because in comparison to our friends in the U.S. if you don’t have health care you

so i’ve seen my Naturopath and am taking some natural things…like fish oil and glucosamine something or other etc. etc. also i was told to see a Chiropractor regarding all the pins and needles that I’ve been getting. and not at all surprising…my shoulder problem that i have had for years is the ultimate cause of my feet. i just over did it playing beach volleyball one day five weeks ago and

I used to be pretty good at walking to and from work. About 3-4 years ago, it was the religious thing that I did every morning rain or shine. That was when I didn’t have a bridge to walk over. Something about having to go over a bridge, makes the distance feel that much farther away.The mind plays funny tricks on you.So I’m now trying to get a 45min walk into my schedule.This is relatively easy
