Read More Motivational Monday: Play HardOK, so I know I need to start being more active. Pretty sure I have voiced that a couple times now… When I wake up my feet usually hurt so bad I don’t want to move.

Read More Fitness: Got Abs?Which do you prefer and why? I prefer squats since I can control the weight on both knees at the same time. Lunges make it painful for my knees, so I tend to avoid them. I oddly enjoy the bicycle, even though it uses my knees to the fullest extent. Today’s Goal: 7 Squats 15+ […]
Read More Fitness: Lunges or Squats?Well, today was another day of mostly sitting. I wiggled my feet a lot while I was sitting. I read for nearly 4 hours!

Read More Fitness: Another slow dayFriday this week is going to include several hours of sitting. I can’t do anything about it, it is the schedule we have.
