  • Hatha Wednesday

    Hatha Wednesday is a beautiful thing. My Chakras are loving me right now. Made an appointment for the personal trainer for Monday. My chest hurts just thinking about it.

    Breakfast - 2 cups honey cheerios 2% milk. Lunch - Drunken Noodle (basically spicy Pad Thai) Arizona Diet Green tea, sweetened with Splenda. Dinner - 1 chicken Enchelada, 3 nutragrain blueberry waffles and 5 ritz crackers with peanut butter for dessert.

    Oh yea, met Bobby Brown and his brother Tommy Brown last week. Tommy and I talked Red Sox for an hour! Very cool guys.

  • A journey of a thousand miles starts with 1 step...

    Today is one of the worst days of the year, and one of the best: I get my ass back in the gym for my Spring regimen. I always start out with 1 week if low- mid cardio with a little lifting. I have to start this way because once I am rolling it is nothing short of an obsession.

    Four years ago I hired a trainer then 3 years of following the Absdiet routine http://www.absdiet.com, now I'm back to trying a trainer; we start Tuesday. The abs diet routine was great, you update your progress and it prints out your routine for that day. It is also a great diet, which I will be doing again. I just want to mix things up a little. I'll be working with Laura Tourtellot who trains people for, and sponsors the Granite State Open - http://www.granitestateopen.com/pages/promoter.html

    I'm just excited to be working with such a professional! I am a huge fan of learning from the best. I love taking lessons versus going on my own or listening to other's rhetoric. You can really maximize your efforts, and when it comes to lifting, I want to maximize every excrutiating moment. I will still be maintaining balance through Wednesday Yoga and I will be tracking all of my progress here.

    I love to slack in the summer because I am so active anyway so my goals are for 90 days; 3/1-6/1 so I can truly party on my birthday
