Group Yoga & Running Around School

by Trula on October 12, 2010 · No Comments

Substitute teaching really keeps me on my feet. I find that during a 6.5 hour school day, I’m on my feet brisk walking at least half the time. The other time I’m either slow-walking the classroom, on my lunch or a planning period break. Who knew teaching was good exercise LOL! I found a new [...]

Endorphins

by Trula on April 8, 2009 · No Comments

I have a love/hate relationship with exercise. I hate doing it, I hate starting it, but I LOVE the way it makes me feel. When I get that endorphin rush, it feels just like right after orgasm, that full, flushed, satisfied feeling of goodness and satiation. I just feel so good, and relaxed, and tingly, [...]

Oh my, I have been slacking off and sometimes over eating, which has resulted in me gaining back 4 pounds since last check-in. I have no excuses and anyway if I did, they’re really not valid.

Understanding Your Woman Body

by Trula on September 19, 2007 · No Comments

I think the key to loving your adult female body is understanding that you will never, ever ever have your slim teenage body back again (if you were slim then, that is) and to understand that women’s bodies naturally tend to hold fat precisely because we may carry and birth a child. Even if you [...]

by Trula on July 14, 2007 · No Comments

I just started a new job outside of my home production and publishing biz (the money is crazy) and this past week have not been to the Y or done much exercising at all. It’s cool, I haven’t gained any weight back but I haven’t lost any more either. I cut myself some slack the [...]
