It's been a rough week for the gym. I over-estimated my intolerance of dirty hair and have been to the gym every other day. That's still better than not going to the gym. I put in a full workout once I get there, and it feels good.Deciding what to do tomorrow is tough. Weight training and then the arc trainer? Swimming? I'm way off of the triathlon training schedule, but I'm trying to stay

Yesterday was a wild day. I got out of bed late, rushed to the gym and lifted heavy weights slowly. Someone told me that you could do 1 rep when lifting this way. I hope it still has benefits because that is all of the time I had.After work, a friend and I went for a bicycle ride -- ten miles. That's not long by most standards, but my body hasn't pedalled a bicycle for months. And my legs were

Day two at the gym went pretty well although not as beautifully as yesterday. My muscles were stiff. Plus, I slept well after having exercised yesterday, which made me reluctant to get out of bed.Dr. Perricone's book makes some interesting points. When he talks about his plan, he talks about an increase in energy. To my way of thinking, beauty comes from energy. Statues couldn't possibly be

G-Day came early. That's right. G-y-m day. I'll be honest. Rolling out of bed and getting on the elliptical trainer was hard. I hit snooze so many times that I missed my chance for strength training. That rolls around on the schedule again on Wednesday, so I'll just keep moving forward.As added incentive to arrive at the gym on a daily basis, my shampoo and make up have been strategically
