Yes, I’m getting a little bored with the gym. Other than all the great socializing and hanging out opportunities, the gym offers little else than a convenient way to run and lift out of the elements.

My Fitness Diary: 08.10.09 “Getting Lean”
I left my Australian houseguests, Star and Niesha, at the train to NYC yesterday. We spent four fabulous days together – laughing, shopping, and eating tasty, fattening, traditional American food. Today, it’s back to business. Star and I also hit the gym last Friday for a super-intense tandom interval workout with my trainer, Chris. That … (Read More)

My Fitness Diary: 06.22.09 Part 2
My very first 24-hour juice fast just ended after 7 hours. Damn sexy bananas… I can’t resist their pull on me. It was also a ridiculous idea to start this on a workout day. Juice fast = not enough energy for push-ups. So, in the wake of my giant failure, I’ve made some plans for … (Read More)

My Fitness Diary: 06.18.09
