I am sort of getting bored writing about my fitness routines and I am sensing many of you are, too. Besides, I have adopted many good habits so I am getting structure and reinforcement elsewhere. Better to post when I am inspired by some hardship or triumph than blandly and dutifully post every week.
I am [...]

Fitness, Week 6: Time to Recharge!
Posted in Fitness, Food on March 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s the six-week routine change and I am excited. Time to start running!
Stats: 90 minutes cardio on stationary bike
2 weight training sessions
1 one-hour Footloose dance party with one of my residents (so much fun)
1 leisurely family bike ride courtesy of a new-to-me thrift bike (20 bucks!)
So I have cardio and strength training but I am [...]
I compromise with the scale
Posted in Fitness, Food on March 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I can’t stay off the scale. BUT I’ve found a way to deal with it that is still in line with my fitness goals. I think it’s acceptable to measure health based partly on body fat percentage, as I’ve mentioned. I know that muscle weighs more than fat and that too much weight loss could [...]
Fitness, Week 5

Almost time to switch up the routine. In the past I’ve noticed that any routine I adopt goes stale at almost exactly six weeks. As it happens the weather has finally broken and our six feet of snow has receded considerably, so next week will be the launching of Cool Running’s Couch to [...]

Posted in Food, I'm angry today on March 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m annoyed at our Perkins waitress last night who praised me for being a “good girl” (yes, I’m 30 and not yet eligible for womanhood) for ordering three vegetable sides and mozzarella sticks (I’m keeping cheese, esp. in fried form, to 1-2 times a week). Never mind that the broccoli was “butter-steamed,” that the “glazed” [...]
Fitness, Week 4! and news, at bottom
Posted in Dissertating, Fitness, Food on March 6, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Second haircut. 15 months and still blissfully in love with mirrors.
Yes! I’ve made it a month!
115 minutes cardio
2 free-weight sessions
45 minutes walking with a toddler on my back
I’m still struggling over size issues. In a moment of weakness I got out the scale AGAIN, and because I had to stand on the toilet [...]
Fitness, week 3
Posted in Fitness, Food on February 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
For shame–I’m writing this during dissertation time. I am sickly at the moment–am I detoxing because of my recent lifestyle changes? or just have yet another seasonal virus?–and it took me the better part of two hours to get through a 15-page, reasonably readable essay on a topic that is interesting to me. There may [...]

Butternut squash: just as fun to climb as it is to eat
Our menu was getting stale so for fun I made some new vegan recipes this week–and YUM, and oh my delicious, and heavens I feel light and nourished. I love milk and eggs and cheese, passionately, but if I had to I would [...]
Fitness, Week 2, 2 days late!

90 minutes cardio on the bike.
I have a confession to make. Last week I got on the scale THREE TIMES. As long as it is sitting in the bathroom by my feet I am going to step on it. It’s in the way-above cabinet in the bathroom now, the one you have to stand on [...]
YUM

Running out of cereal is that best thing that’s happened to me and breakfast in quite some time. I made the below (completely on the fly!) and it was so good I almost cried.
Into warmed brown rice, mix the following to taste:
olive oil
flax seeds
pureed apple
crumbled feta
cardamom
pinch salt
Enjoy! If you have the apples and rice on [...]
