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 . . .
