The Ridge

Going to the gym is always a fun time.  You never know what exactly you are going to run into.  You always have the guys hitting on girls.  And there is always the girls who barely do anything and basically show up to look cute and think they are working out.  What if the roles were reversed?

The Downtown Ridge is looking to expand and remodel  their existing building.  The face lift on the outside will be a great addition to Mendenhall and will hopefully entice other business owners to step up!  Check out the inside drawings of what's to come!

So, at my last workout, Annie the supertrainer and I were talking about my progress.  I told her sometimes I don't feel like I have advanced much.  So, she said that our next workout would be the first one I ever did, so I could see how far I have come...

It's happening, my body is changing!  I told you before that I have always been pretty lucky in terms of losing weight quickly (thanks to those before me!). This time hasn't been so easy.  I hate to admit it, but it's probably because I am over 40...

One issue with having three young children in preschool and school is that they pick up crud from other kids.  This week, I have had two sick kids at two different times.  I am getting it.  I could feel it yesterday when I woke up...

Went for my workout today, after several days off.  Vegas was fun...too much fun!  I admit, I probably had too much to drink this weekend, but wasn't too bad with the food.  We went out for seafood, I had yogurt and granola for breakfast, and fruit and vegetables...

I had a sick boy all weekend, so I didn't make it into the Ridge.  I am the Mom who won't take my sick children to a day care situation...I think it's rude.  So, I had to find ways to work out on my own.  I will be honest with you.  Annie's workout style scares me a little, so I didn't want to sit on my butt all weekend, because I know she's going to make me work this afternoon...

I did not have the best year last year, which I've been pretty open about!  I ended up getting a hysterectomy and in the process gained approximately 25 pounds before and after the surgery.  I am pretty lucky, and I thank those before me, that I don't gain much weight, and I can lose it quickly...
