Colorado 2012 Tough Mudder Race Report
Posted on June 30, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare I am going to assume that if you found this worth reading, you know what the Tough Mudder is. In short, it is a 10-12 mile trail run with obstacles along the course. It’s a big organized event (I’d say race, but there’s no timing) with multiple instances across the US, as well as [...]

Why I’m exited about being sore
Posted on April 9, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare Yesterday my husband and I and I started our second week of the second phase of P90X2. This is the first week after our first rest week. And I know I brought it. How do I know? Because even though we worked out during late afternoon, I woke up already sore. My abs hurt. (Darn [...]

If you want results, find the courage to get out of your comfort zone!
Posted on January 5, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare Like most beginners, I saw a huge improvement in my fitness when I first started doing P90X, even though I had taken myself from sedentary to running a few miles five days a week already. But for most of 2011, I was enjoying the feeling of P90X being so much easier, I just coasted. [...]

I love The Workout Zone
Posted on December 7, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare Today I had Core Synergistics on tap (recovery week #1!) and just wasn’t into it. I don’t know why. I left work on time (VICTORY!), I wasn’t working out on a full stomach, I wasn’t tired. But I just was not into it. But because I went and signed myself up for the Tough [...]

The importance of planning
Posted on November 13, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Eating healthy, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare Tomorrow, I am starting a 90-day wellness challenge with four of my friends. Earlier this week, I sent out an email to everyone participating about how important the week before starting is.

Open Invitation: 90-Day Challenge Group Starting Nov. 7
Posted on October 24, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, Online resourcesShare When I look around, I see so many people around me who sacrifice their health ambitions – knowing that they are doing so – because living a healthy lifestyle is a genuine challenge. I am young enough to not be cynical about work-life balance, but old enough to have had good and bad experiences to [...]

Time to take a setback and make it into an opportunity for something new.
Posted on October 2, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare I have now seen an orthopedic sports medicine specialist and a physical therapist for my knee pain. My IT bands are tight, and so are my quad muscles and my calves. Apparently, the tightnesses in my muscles and the relative lack of flexibility in my arch in combination with my minimalist shoes moved some [...]

Reward your hard work.
Posted on September 29, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare Reward yourself for meeting or continuing to work toward your goals in some way, not necessarily food or exercise-related. Get a massage, see a movie, buy that thing you’ve been eyeing. One of my favorites is taking a bath with scented epsom salts, making a French green clay mask, lighting some candles, and reading [...]

Have a plan B (and a plan C and a plan D).
Posted on September 22, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Eating healthy, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare Let’s face it: There will be a time when you miss a workout session and can’t reschedule in a way that makes sense. There will be a weekend when you don’t make a menu or go grocery shopping. That doesn’t mean you instantly failed the Exam of Life and have to go to jail [...]

Don’t get obsessed with the scale.
Posted on September 18, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare I’ve seen my weight change by three pounds literally overnight more than once. The uncertainty in most bathrooms scales is about a pound. And if you’re building muscle while you’re dropping body fat, what your actual weight is going to do is far from straightforward. I have talked to more than one person who [...]
