Say hello to Teresa and look how great she looks in her suit! Here is what my ‘friend in fitness’ and fellow P90X-er has to say: 1. How do you maintain your sexiness?

Running…We Shall Meet Again Soon
| August 26, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Injuries, Running |
This is how I used to feel. During winter when it was 10degrees outside, 5am, dressed in my Under Armour cold weather gear like this head piece… …looking like a damn thief (except mine is white). My body does not like running, so I felt totally amazing when I was done with my jog….such accomplishment. When people ask me now what my workouts consist of and I say running, I feel like I’m living a lie since I haven’t run… Continue Reading

The Great Peanut Butter Watch of 2010: Update 4
| August 22, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Addiction |
I disgust me….I am disgusted by me….I disgust myself. I purchased a jar of peanut butter FOUR days ago and this is how much is left: I don’t know what to say…I have nothing to say. I suppose you can ask “why don’t I just not buy peanut butter?”….and it is a valid question but I want to learn self control (to date, a complete failure). So, the genius in me devised a plan to help me control my peanut… Continue Reading

… was exhausting! I’ve been feeling really weird lately and have been wanting to just be outside for a while. So with the rain all day yesterday, this morning was nice and cool…perfect for a bike ride. I didn’t do my usual long ride, but I did ride for about an hour.

Superiority at the Supermarket
| August 18, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Eating Out |
In terms of the items I choose, I am waaaaay better at the supermarket than most and I KNOW that others are jealous of me! How can they not be?? While they have frozen pizza, donuts, cookies, chips, and alfredo sauce in a jar….I, simply, do not. Sometimes I look at other people’s carts in amazement and wonder if they can’t make their own potato salad or I search in vain for some sign of a non-canned, non-frozen fruit or… Continue Reading

WTF Happened to My Toe Shoes??
| August 16, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Gear |
Soooo, I wake up yesterday morning, ready to don my toe shoes for my P90x KenpoX workout. I pick up the left shoe and begin to freak out: Dadli, my cat, attacked my toe shoes. WTF? I picked up my scarred toe shoe, ran to the living room and proceeded to wave the shoe and yell at Dadli like a madwoman….doesn’t she know how much these things cost? Dadli was smart… she fled the scene immediately. I knew something sinister… Continue Reading

You May <3 Yoga, but Does Yoga <3 You?
| August 13, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Workouts |
I am not bashing yoga; I love it as much as the next person, but sometimes you gotta wonder (as you balance on one arm while your leg is simultaneously wrapped around your neck) if some of these poses are doing more harm than good or if your yoga instructor really know what the hell is going on. My cousin sent me this interesting article that made me think: does your yoga teacher really know what they’re talking about? You’re… Continue Reading

My Toe Shoes Review
| August 12, 2010 | Posted by Dani under Gear |
Yes, pic is upside down….that was intentional…thanks. The pic is of me doing calf stretches (imagine yourself in a sort of downward dog position with one leg straight and one leg bent) after my p90x plyometrics workout yesterday. I actually used the toe shoes on Tuesday which worked out really well for weight training. But I really wanted to see how they would work during a cardio session. I’m not even going to bullsh!t you, the toe shoes feel funky on… Continue Reading
