I was giving a corporate presentation last week and someone came up to me afterwords and asked, "What's your secret? How do you get into the kind of shape you're in?" I replied, "It's no secret, you've got to get your diet under control. Get your diet right and the rest will follow." The questioner kind of rolled his eyes, and said, "Yes, but what are you doing? Weights? High reps? How many hours a week?"
This happens a lot. People don't want to hear about the diet. It's too obvious an answer. It's not sexy. They think they know all about that diet stuff and they want to...

Why do I feel like I took a week off PCP and am just returning to it? I keep on having to backtrack. Today I was like " Oh BACK TO PCP today" then i was like " wait a second...when have I been off PCP? I'Ve been working out every single day...i never missed a day...had a little jump rope miss on day 7 or 9 once...why do i feel like I took a week off" MUST of been that bee stuff and fruit binge that made me feel like i took a break. DARN THEM. Anyway today I... more
Ai-yah! I shouldn't have checked my email before going to bed. Curiosity killed this big cat. Sheesus! Looking at the new workouts makes me wannna crawl under the covers and hide. They also remind me of when Billy Blanks would say "DOUBLE TIME" in taebo and you'd have to air punch twice as fast and hard. Only this looks way worse. Even when I was gung-ho bout weight lifting and in the gym almost everyday, I never did that many sets in one session. I had a nice schedule: Mon/Wed - triceps/chest, Tues/Thurs- biceps/back, Fri - shoulders/legs. I think I... more
Pics! I have pics! oh my goodness! If my lazyness about putting up pictures has anything to do with anything it's that I just don't like pictures. Never really have. It's kinda beyond really how I look in one, I just don't like photos of people fer some reason. Strange thing, the mind. Anyway, since I have pics now I'm gonna show ya something! This little fuzzy thing is my kitty, who spends the majority of her time terrorizing me and being a cute little bullet around the house. There, with all the frivolity out of the way, here we... more
You know you've done your students right when one of them writes, "Thanks, Jenny!", at the bottom of their last lab practical. Thanks for what? Making you study your little bootie off so that you could make an A on this lab practical? You're welcome! And, thank you for studying! I'm so proud of my students for rocking this last practical. :) I must email them and tell them so! I'm in the middle of doing the very last grading and getting it posted in preparation for my adventures in Mexico/Belize. I expect to be without internets most of the... more
Finally uploaded this week's set of pictures. And here's a bonus shot of my breakfast this morning: Sourdough toasts with avocado, tomato and 1 poached egg split 3 ways! YUUMMMM! (p.s. it's almost 10pm and I just realized that the only carb i have for breakfast tomorrow is pasta... well, a first time for everything I suppose!)... more
Well, there you have it. Just finished today's workout and I am PISSED. I simply do not feel capable of doing everything on the page today. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not, who's to say? I'm so happy for the progress I've made so far, but I still have SO FAR to go. I'm not having much success connecting with my "inspiration person" at the moment because it feels like I'd have to work out this hard every day for the next year in order to get there. I started off SO FAR from where I want to be and... more
So I played Queen's "Jazz" while jumping and doing my workout. "Play aggressive music with a beat to get you into the groove." worked! Especially "Mustapha"'s rhythm is perfect for jumping. First set sucked so I did the extra set. While I was sweating ( even in air conditioned room ), my dog was relaxing, She makes me smile. In the evening, I went to the beach to see the fire works. I ordered sparkling water but they gave me a tonic water which I sipped and was sweet so I threw it away. I could order sparkling water at... more
