This morning I taught a toning class and then did a lot of walking.  Been blessed with absolutely gorgeous weather!  Eating is sporadic but not too bad.  Come August 1st I’ll be back on the Fast Metabolism Diet full force. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on the role nutrition plays in preventing and dealing with sickness and disease.  It’s fascinating.  They are finding more and more that an anti inflammatory diet is so crucial for this.  ...

Today was a sweaty, hot 2 mile run!  I got a late start so it was a struggle as the temps are already a scorcher.  But I got it done!!!

This morning I focused on resistance training with bands.  Wow!  It’s incredible how good of a workout you can get with just simple exercises! Check out my workout in the below video

I do enjoy my beach bike ride in Ocean City!  I just did a short ride today…later in the week I will do my yearly ride to Atlantic City which I love. I really do appreciated the physical health and strength I have.  It makes simple tasks so much easier and it’s empowering to feel strong.  It also helps with my mood and general sense of well being. The weather has been amazing so far and looks to last a while which helps with the workouts.  Tonight I will be ...

Got a nice 2 mile run in this morning and appreciated the flat run after doing hills lately.  First day down at the beach and so far so good.

Did a 2 mile run with a good time for me, as I have been running slow lately.  Felt good!  Then I did some light resistance training with bands, and some core.  Had a protein shake and I feel like my day is off to a great start!   Heading to the beach today for 2 weeks YAY!  Bringing bands and our bikes, so looking forward to some great workouts, and also a bike ride to Atlantic City.  Gonna tackle that huge bridge like a champ! 

Today was a well earned rest day.  I am preparing to go to the beach for 2 weeks with my family and grandkids, so I hustled around getting things together.  So even though it was a rest day, I never sat down!

This morning I did a step class and will be teaching Pilates this evening.  I feel less tired, so that’s good. I can’t believe it’s been 2 months since I started the Birthday Transformation Journey!  I am so happy I have done this, I can feel my body changing and I feel confident I will achieve my fitness goals by next May.  This routine has become a habit, and I feel like I’m missing something if I don’t keep up with it.  Now, it’s not ...

Today I ran 2 miles then did a resistance training class.  I felt really tired in the afternoon and took an hour nap!  I’ve been stepping up my cardio and it is an adjustment.  So I listened to my body and rested. I plan on making Friday my rest day, and I will sleep in a bit as well.

Back on track!!! Did weight training 2x this morning, then step class tonight.  Eating was fantastic, just picked up phase 2 from Fast Metabolism Diet.  So I feel fabulous and I had actually lost weight in England a little, as I had kept up with the eating and exercise. So as you can see, it can be done!  You don’t have to let things completely go when you travel!  HAVE A PLAN!
