I’ve put on six pounds since J. and I moved in together, largely due to the lack of gym across the street (I got used to the convenience of the gym at The Greene), and our shared love of good food. And, OK, some of this is also weight I put on *because* of the […]
The sounds I make when I lift this weight are not sexy. The work trainers have upped the ante for me this training round, as said a while back, which is nice. I’m feeling stronger, and I needed it: I put on about 6 lbs in 4 weeks when we moved into our new place

Yup, that would be the gym. I’m glad I waited until I could breath again to go, cause jogging last night wasn’t the most pleasant thing in the world anyway. Good news is, I made my best time yet. Now it’s off to do the workday training routine at the Y.

I hurt today from yesterday’s weight training workout with the work trainers… and what did I do today? 25 min run (5 min warmup) followed by a 15 min swim. Came home and ate some baked sweet potato fries (rosemary paremesan!), chicken sausage, and cucumber slices. I’m tuckered out. I’m not sure how I’m still

So, as many of you know, we have a health and wellness program here at the day job. It includes two hour and a half long training sessions a week, diet and nutrition advice (should you choose to solicit it), quarterly fitness assessments, and monthly fitness challenges. It’s all voluntary, of course, and one’s participation
