Turn Of The Year Mayhem

After returning from Hong Kong we immediately started preparing for my step-daughter to visit and join us in bringing in 2016. We headed to Tokyo on New Year's Eve day, as is our tradition while in Japan, and had a reservation at our favorite little boutique hotel (Sakura Fleur Aoyama)in Shibuya.  The decor is cute, … Continue reading Turn Of The Year Mayhem

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 3 – Update & Goals

Went to the doctor this week and got my lab results: A1C came in at 6.2 - this is slightly higher than my previous test which was 6.1 but not as high as I thought it might be.  I haven't been watching my sugar/carb intake as well as I should have but I have been … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 3 – Update & Goals

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 2

I know I have slacked off on this blog series and honestly the working out slacked off as well.  We (the husband and I) were doing well until our trip to Hawaii at the beginning of the month.  We even took our workout clothes and shoes thinking we'd get at least every other day in … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 2

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 1

I know...it should be Entry 10 right? I'm not feeling like I deserve to call it entry 10.  I was going strong with the at home strength training workout challenge but then I got a tattoo and had to wait to get my sweat on, then when I felt I could get back to burning … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 1

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 9

Quick Update:  I waited as long as I could until the new ink was almost completely healed before getting back to the gym.  It takes 7-10 days usually for the main heal process to complete.  I was prepared to wait, then my body started yelling at me after a few days of being idle. Waking … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 9

Food, Fun and Exercise - but not necessarily in that order.  haha! As someone who loves to explore, the last few weeks have been rather close to home other than jumping up to Tokyo to say farewell to a friend who is getting married and since the party moved to the States.  It was a … Continue reading Food, Fun and Exercise

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 8 – The Pain

Well, it's day 8 of the 30 day challenge to exercise at least a little bit every day and I am in serious pain.  Desperately trying not to complain about it but I think I am flinching and cringing a lot which gives it away.  It only took a few minutes for the husband to … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 8 – The Pain

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 7

Day two had me walking/jogging for 20 minutes around the neighborhood.  It felt pretty good really but man I am out of shape.  It was a couple of minutes jog then a few minutes walk, repeat.  Hoping the next run will have me jogging more than walking. Yesterday, Day three on the challenge called for … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 7

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 6

Today starts the 30 day Career Girl Challenge which is designed for daily exercise and conscious eating habits.  I really want to get into a habit of exercising daily and am going to work hard at making that happen. Meal planning this week is consisting of overnight oatmeal bowls for breakfast, well balanced salads for … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 6
