Back in the Game!


I went to the gym! Yes, you did read that right... I FINALLY went to the gym! We did cardio on the treadmill. I was able to put it at a higher speed then I ever have before AND maintained it for 30 mins. It felt great! Karla got a 7 day pass so we are going to go again tomorrow. It is a new club and pretty swanky. It has 2 pools and a separate jacuzzi in the women's locker room. There is a steam sauna and a dry sauna. They even have a bathing suit dryer that you put your suit in for like two seconds and it comes out dry! We talked and walked but they individual monitors that you can plug your iPod into to charge it, watch videos, TV or track your run through Nike It is pretty spiff! On a more serious note: For some reason my right arm is hurting. I think I may have slept on it wrong a few days ago but the pain is getting worse not better. I am going to put in a call to the doctor to see what I can do for it. I can't lift and there is shooting pain down to my fingers. :-( Last night I woke up at 4 a.m. from the pain. Until next time...

XOXOX,

P.S. I had a visit from the Blog Fairy in the middle of the night! What do you think?

  2. I was having arm problems for a while for my doctor (Father Time) finally cured it.

    Way to get after it in the gym!

  3. Everybody is going to the gym. I feel like such a wuss! It still intimidates me for some reason.

    The 'blog fairy' did good. Very nice!

    Hope the arm starts feeling better.

  5. Yay Katie!!! Glad you went to the gym - it sounds very nice! Do you think you'll join? Shoot, those treadmills with monitors would seal the deal for me!

    I absolutely LOVE your new blog design - it's gorgeous!!! Love the purple and green combo, and it reminds me of Hawaii! Nice job, blog fairy!!!

  6. I belong already Miss Shelley. I had added this particular location to my membership about two months ago but had not gone until now. It is actually $10 more per month just to add that location! Karla is the newbie but hopefully she will sign up and we can continue going together.

  7. Ahhhh Katie it's gorgeous. I've been contemplating getting myself a blog fairy visit but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas. Your site looks so fabulous.

    Go you for getting out there and going to the gym. Way to go Katie!

  8. Good job on getting to the gym -- I know it's hard sometimes! My gym has a few machines with the individual TVs which is nice if you're struggling to workout because then you don't have to watch SportCenter if you'd rather be on MTV! Love the new blog look, I noticed it right away.

  10. Good for you ! Sometimes starting is the hardest thing.....once you do it once it gets easier every time you do it !

    About greek yogurt...... truthfully I am not thrilled with the taste (or the price !) It takes getting used to, especially when you are used to the regular stuff. Greel is more like sour cream . What I do like about it is , there are like 3 ingredients in it, and it really fills me up ! If i have one for breakfast or lunch with some granola or cereal I can go for hours without feeling hungry ! Try it again.....it grows on you !

    I love your new look ! Very clean and sophisticated !
