Workout
let it snow!
about an hour or more of shoveling. that's one helluva workout, believe you me.
Workout
several days after the fact
30 mintues on elliptical and a delightful round of abdominal work
Workout
Delhi Belly! Not really, but working out with Indian food induced indigestion is not fun!
My friends and I went out for and end-of-the-semester last hurrah before we depart for foreign lands next semester. For some of us, it will be the last time we get to be together for a year! We went to my FAVORITE Indian restaurant and I ate WAY too much. But I couldn't help it...it was so good!
Workout
i'm tired of coming up with titles for my mundane workouts
30 minutes (2.5) miles on the elliptical in reverse mode followed by 20 minutes or so of ab work. bam.
naughty backflog
over the weekend i ate an average of two cookies a day (gluten, soy & dairy free!) and an untold amount of cookie dough on saturday while making the aforementioned cookies.
yesterday, i ate three cookies.
no regrets. 'tis the season, afterall.
Workout
elliptical, again. my workout is average.
35 minutes on the elliptical (5 minutes forward, 2 in reverse) for 2.9 miles. followed by 20 or so minutes of abdominal work.
sun salutations and grand pliés almost go without saying at this point.
Workout
"meh" monday.
I talked myself into going to the gym today. The 35 minutes out with the dog just didn't feel like enough of a workout to qualify a post -- we were both kind of sluggish. So, this afternoon I did 30 minutes on the elliptical (hill mode, cascades!) managing just over 2.5 miles, and finished off with some abs.
Not bad for a cloudy afternoon!
Workout
freezing friday workout & naughty flog number...5?
got up and ventured into the sub-arctic weather of western mass to go to the gym. i did rough 30 minutes on the elliptical with the resistance up super high. it was hard but fun! and not to jarring first thing in the morning.
Workout
suprisingly frostbite free!
Walked for approx 2 hours outside today. The first hour was a moderately paced campus tour, the second a speedy jaunt about the neighborhood with the dog. Not bad considering I slept in instead of going to the gym this morning. I'll be doing my advent grande pliées later for tone-age.
Workout
glutes and boots
This morning, my sun salutations were snow salutations! The campus is covered in at least 4 incehs of powder. It makes me want to curl up in bed and skip class. But when I saw that my cubby-mate was up and dressed for the gym, I was shammed into heading over there myself.

Workout
new pains, new places
I woke up this morning and immediately groaned. The backs of my thighs seem to have shrunk overnight -- perhapse running on the incline yesterday? I really wish I could get a yoga class into my schedule. Maybe I'll find one abroad next semester? At anyrate, I need to get into a stretching routine.
30 minutes on the elliptical at level 8 to work the quads, 30 minutes weights & abs

over thanksgiving i fell in love with the combo of kale & garlic sauteed in olive oil. so. good.
in general, though, my favorites are:pancakes, apple crisp, rice & beans, pasta, and guacamole

i thought about doing push-ups for advent, but chickened out. i would probably colapse if i tried to do 25 in one shot...so good for you!!
Posted in response to: i really did try to order brussel sprouts for dessert
also, i've decided to do grand pliés for the sweat sacred (in correspondance with the days of advent)! should have great thigh muscles come new year...
Posted in response to: winter walk & naughty flog 2
in retrospect, i think the sweating was mostly due to the fact that i kept my sweats on over my shorts out of laziness.
oh well.
Posted in response to: sundown at 4:30? dislike.
Larabars are absolutely delicious. A great portable snack, especially for traveling. I always hate getting stuck with gas station and airport food. These actually fill me up and, of course, taste great!
Plus, they're raw, vegan and gluten free -- can't beat that.

Love spinning. I took a bunch of classes this summer, but they don't offer it at my college (or anywhere near by). It makes me so sad!
That's good to know about the treadmill, though. I guess we'll have to get back together eventually. Sigh.

How about something similar to the No Late-Night Snacking feat from the Eat.Sweat.Blog? Something like, "Leave the cookies for Santa" where you can't snack on any sweet treats after 9pm

Sort of like the vegan dish proposal: Bring gluten-free cookies to a cookie-swap. Tell no one.
Invent an original and healthy holiday drink inspired by one of the classics (eggnog, hot chocolate, etc) and post the recipe.
Naughty-list flog: keep a flog of all the unhealthy holiday treats you consume during the challenge. Knowing that I'll be exposing my gluttony to the world really helps me practice moderation.

It depends. If it's air-popped without butter, margerine or oil -- yes! if it's from a movie-theater or bag, smothered in some sort of liquid -- no.
On it's own, popcorn is delicious, high volume and full of fiber. It's definitely a favorite snack for me.
Posted in response to: I need an opinion. is popcorn good for you?
mm now i want a gigantic doughnut. preferably a cider on. :)

feat accomplished! i'm looking forward to my juice fast tomorrow... YUM!
Posted in response to: last day of JUST WATER...
jealous!
Posted in response to: just a Sunday morning run...UNDER THE EIFFEL TOWER
Glad to know it's not just me!!
Posted in response to: elliptical>treadmill in the am
Um yeah, about that. I hopt it wasn't too creepy...
I'll try out the ballet thing tonight and let you know!
Posted in response to: one feat leads to another
I like the sound of the Ballet Strength workout. Is it really effective? Even though I make it to the gym several times a week, I still feel out of shape because I'm not dancing this semester. Grr

I always feel like I sweat more than the average person. I like to pretend that it means I'm working harder than everyone around me ...
Posted in response to: I sweat unnatural amounts
I'm in college, so I can definitely relate to the awkwardness of eating healthy / staying on the wagon in big groups or at parties. It's worth it, though
The Paleo diet is so intense! Good for you for sticking with it!

I really really REALLY hope you said that to him. What an ass!
Posted in response to: "You'll have to walk a lot faster than that to lose any weight"
tackling just water and no-sweets at once -- impressive! the fear of the headaches alone is enough a deterrent for me.
Posted in response to: early exercising energy
any chance you'll post the gluten-free vegan chocolate cupcake recipe??
