A. I need to incorporate strength training into my weekly routine. My flabby upper arms are not going to change their shape through running alone. Swimming will help, but I hear Tony Horton calling my name. It's a whisper, but I can still hear it.
B. I need to cook more, find nutritious recipes, actually shop for the ingredients, then make dinner. I have the ingredients, in MY kitchen, for the loaded Sweet Potato with turkey and two kinds of salsas that they made on Tuesday's episode.

3. I ran 5 miles, super slow, Monday morning. My Garmin stayed at home. Tuesday, after waiting too long, I ended up with 4 miles in the rain. There's something to be said for getting up and getting out the door right away. If you don't, the rains will come.
I'm in a bit of a funk this week. Very uninspired to work out and run. Looking forward to shaking this off and getting some enthusiasm back.

I love strength training. I just hat making the time for it. Seems tedious when you are trying to squeeze just one more thing in.
I cook dinner ever single night. From scratch. It's time consuming between the planning, shopping and prep, but I love always knowing exactly what's in things. And aside from when we travel, we probably only eat out once a month.
uninspired happens. it'll come back.
I love cooking. I also love being lazy, so I would jump at the chance to not cook, but The H is stingy with his eating out. RUDE.
Ah. Tony. I miss him. Sort of. I remember the first time I did one of those workouts and I could barely move for like 5 days.
I have the lazy AND the sick right now.
I hope that your week gets better. I have been feeling unispired and unmotivated too. At least tomorrow is Friday and hopefully we can both get more enthusiastic for the weekend. :-)
some of the upper body workouts are intense bc I hate pushups and pullups--- you can avoid both with the "shoulder and arms" section- personal fave.
You should look into kettlebells--- huge improvment for me in my upper body
You can do it!! Strength training is very beneficial. Ever since my injury it is a part of my weekly routine.
I love to strength train! And as far as sweet potatoes go, I could eat them for every meal with nothing on them. Probably my favorite food! :)
