My journal of organized chaos. (Can we put emphasis on the chaos?)
- Jumping rope gives good high i…
Jumping rope gives good high intensity intervals… but not as good as sprinting. :/
- Shrink wrap for dresses?
So…. remember when I posted about the bridesmaid dress that was too small? I had real concerns at the time that perhaps fitting into the dress I purchased would be a nearly-failing battle.
As it turns out, the dress is now falling off me in all the places that count. As in, by the time October [...]
- High intensity, people!
I recently discovered a phenomenon that is sweeping the nation, and I think it really works for me! It’s called High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and I’ve added it into my rotation of cardio workouts this week.
The idea of it is that three times a week or so, I do workouts that push my capacity [...]
- Shred me up!
I’ve been into running lately, but my running schedule is dependent on two things.
First, my jogging stroller’s operating condition. The only real variable is the inflation level of the tires. On Wednesday I pumped my tires, but my pump had some kind of malfunction between the second and third tire. While I tried not to [...]
- Holy Olympics, batman!
I watched the opening ceremonies with Jen last night, and I actually spent most of the time with my mouth gaping open. The first hour was just one impressive feat of technological showmanship after another (hello, unscrolling Largest LED Screen In The World, As Long As A Football Field And With People Dancing On It!

- Stepping out.
I don’t know what made me do it, but last week, I got home from work, strapped Sami into the stroller with a good sippy and a book, and went running.
Actually, I do know what made me do it. I wanted to make some use of my heart rate monitor. I’ve decided that since my [...]
- Artificial sweeteners linked to weight gain!
I’ve noticed that my weight loss slows down or stops completely when I have diet soda in my diet. (I drank 1-2 sodas per day this week, and despite no other changes in what I was eating, I did not lose any weight.)
This could be why:

If my body’s internal temp doesn’t rise for artificial sweeteners [...]

Snapshot of future study?

I took a bunch of pictures of Sami reading this Beatrix Potter book last weekend, and to be honest I can’t decide which is my favorite. I chose to post this one because I love her studious expression. [...]
- Saturday at the gym… yes, the GYM.
I dragged my butt to the gym today for the first time since, oh, March. I came prepared - Sami down for her nap this afternoon, I had time to dig out my heart rate monitor and strap, charge up my iPod, and find the manual for my HRM (ha, I had used it very [...]
- My child is joy manifest.
I haven’t had much time or energy for blogging lately, which is making me feel a little frustrated and sad. There are things I just won’t remember if I don’t put them here.
Today was really a lovely day. Sami charmed me by playing peek-a-boo over the back of my dining room chair, and then patting [...]
