Originally, I wanted to start back at the gym on this past Monday, but that did not happen due to some unforeseen circumstances. But I went on Wednesday and Friday (today). I must say it is exhilarating being back in the gym again. It is not that I have not been working out, but I have been working out at home and still paying gym fee. This makes no sense, lol. But being in the gym is a completely different feeling, and I forgot how good it is. I believe I did 100 squats, 100 biceps curls, 100 over head presses, etc. Therefore, I am really going to be sore tomorrow.
I am trying to get my tone back. A few months ago, I was where I wanted to be and then life kind of happened, lol. I am not so far off, I have maintained most of what I worked for. I am going to use this blog again to keep me accountable for my workouts. And so it begins . . .

Here I go again!
Well, 2015 is here. Actually it has been here for a few months now, lol. Although I have not been writing, it does not mean I have not been active! I will admit that during January, I slacked off a bit, but not too much. But then in February I got sick. But I am much better now, and have gotten back into the swing of things.
I have been working a lot on my flexibility. Unfortunately, I lost a good bit of flexibility when I started running. At one point I was running every day. And I was running up to 30 miles per week. However, all the running was doing a number on my hips and knees (which does happen to women). Therefore, after speaking with a sports medicine specialist, I was advised to cut my running down. So now I only run two times a week between 3-5 miles, and my body is so thankful!
While running, I no longer had time or the energy for my favorite thing, salsa dancing! Now, I am dancing again. Also, I still do HIIT, body weight training and pilates.
A few months ago I did the 10 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse, and it guarantees that you lose up to 10 pounds in the 10 days. Now, it is not one of those starvation "diets." I did have snacks, like vegetables, fruits and nuts. So I was never hungry. And it worked! I did not want to lose a lot of weight, because I don't really have much that I could lose healthily. I wanted to conquer my dreaded sweet tooth. I was able to do so for a very long time. Then in the new year I had a cookie and that was it, lol. I am going to repeat the 10 Green Smoothie once again to conquer the sweet tooth.
Well that is my catch for 2015 thus far. Until the next time . . .
