Breakfast looked like this: two eggs, a banana, and a handful of blueberries. The coffee mug is, in fact, full of coffee. The LAST cup of caffeinated coffee in the house.
Then I was hungry on the way to the gym, so I had some mixed nuts – almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts, pecans, and maybe hazelnuts.
It was Try-It Tuesday, so they offered $1 off the price of the smoothies. Since I figured it was smart to refuel right after working out, I didn’t mind trying something new. This was super-yummy. The weird thing was that I got completely full on half the glass. I just drank water afterwards and stowed the rest in the fridge for a snack later.
When I got home, I had a handful of banana chips while I made lunch: reheated baked chicken breast, fresh green cabbage cooked in coconut oil with sea salt and crushed red pepper, and a slice of sweet potato.
Half chicken breast, cabbage cooked in coconut oil with crushed red pepper, and a slice of sweet potato
Dessert was watermelon, but this time I monitored my intake so that I didn’t overindulge or just simply eat too much. I’ll confess I also wound up eating another slice of sweet potato the same size because no one else was going to, and it was super-yum.
Today was also weigh-in day. Yes, actually. Yes, yes, I know I weighed in yesterday, but Tuesday is the magical day for the 90DC.
Now, I had planned to go to yoga this morning, but Everything Conspired Against It. To the point that I got in the car, was about to pull out of the housing development, looked at the time, and realized that there was no way I would be on time to my yoga class.
Eventually, after two more abortive attempts to leave to go to the gym, I got there (wearing shoes!). I decided to “Lift All the Things,” which is what my friend Amie calls weight training. Today I worked my chest and back, taking the advice to set the weights to something I couldn’t lift many times. I actually surprised myself with how heavy I needed to set the weights to make myself strain a bit. I thought I would have lost most of my strength and tone from not doing much over the past month, but I was able set the weights at or above where I’d had them before.
Either my body is super-responsive to slight changes in diet and exercise inside of a 24 hour period (which is entirely possible knowing my history for being able to gain and shed weight), or the computers are calibrated differently at the two different Lifetime Fitness Gyms I went to, which is equally possible.
So, the results were Total Body Weight 153 lbs (down 3.3 lbs) and Percentage Body Fat of 19.2% (down 3.6, which is a 15.78% change). Yeah, I don’t get it either.
All I can think is that I need to just keep up the good fight, keep plugging away doing what I know to be good for me, and add in anything that sounds like a good idea.
I am looking forward to getting back to my home gym and weighing consistently there because then I won’t have any of the worries that it’s the machine and not me making the change.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that being a transformation winner at the national level could win $10,000 plus a free membership for a year. I mean, not that I’m motivated by money or anything, but… well, there are probably some people who are investing a lot of time and money into this just to net that win. But it would still be cool, ya know?

Yes, as a side effect, I will look a lot better in my wedding dress, but that’s next year. I still have a lot of room to screw up between now and then. Besides, the dress is stretchy anyways.
Okay, and yes, my fiancé might enjoy seeing me slimmer and more toned. And that could be a lot of fun.
Yes, I would enjoy “losing weight” because I would like to see that scale number dip a bit lower. But then there’s always the argument that people don’t believe they are thin enough, toned enough, whatever enough to be happy. I used to think I would be happy if I could just get to the weight I am now. Now that I’m here and have stayed in this weight range reliably for 6 months, I know that it is not the specific weight that matters, but how you feel – and most importantly, how you feel about yourself.
I am doing it to feel in control of my body. I’m doing it to reach for my potential. I’m doing it to fit into clothes I want to wear. I’m doing it to tone and transform.
This week, I was thinking about all the things people say when you tell them you’re going to work out.
Thank you. It’s a choice, though. I want to work out. It makes me feel good in my mind and my body. It keeps my trick knee from killing me. It releases endorphins and I feel more at peace with my life. I am a better worker, parent, and person when I get my chosen work outs. Also, the doctor told me I need a steady regime to keep off blood pressure medication.
Thanks! I’m flattered that you think so. I know I can do some things well, but I also know where I am striving to improve. I’ve seen the things some other people can do. If I keep with my routine – and change it up a little for maximum benefit – I might reach my personal goals of being able to do different things. I couldn’t always do a handstand. I only got that through consistent practice, and I have so much more I want to be able to do.
True. Sometimes it’s even good to skip a day, or at least an afternoon to rest. You can approach the next work out with more energy. However, I’ve got to do something, or I’ll lose some of my hard-earned flexibility. I might even re-injure my knee if I don’t keep it in use. The next time I try to do something I know I can do, I might injure myself because I might be stiff or sore or inflexible. You don’t hear my joints pop and creak when I’ve missed a day. You don’t feel the stiffness in my knee when I haven’t taken the time to work it carefully, slowly, thoughtfully. You don’t feel the tightness in my shoulders or my legs when I try to go into a posture. On the same note, only I know how it feels to sink straight into what I want to do because I’ve already put the work in and I’m maintaining. Only I know how it feels to me when I realize I’m the only one in class with the flexibility to get the posture I want. It’s a heady feeling, and it immediately humbles me to think of how far I still have to go.
First, I like the people at the gym. I feel welcome, so it feeds my soul to go and be around my gym friends. They want nothing out of me. All I need to do is work out, be myself, and kibitz. I don’t owe them work; I don’t need to volunteer to help run something; and I don’t need to make my life pretty for them. I can just be. Also, I know myself. Sure, I could work out at home or just go bike riding with my kids. Does that push me? Does that make me put out my full effort? No. I always hold back. I’m riding rear guard to make sure I’m there if someone crashes or falls behind. I get interrupted at home. I’m not challenged enough by myself. I see other people, I not only get inspired, I also have a streak of competitiveness that drives me to see if I can do something at least as well (if not better) than the people around me. It takes an hour for a class, plus fifteen minutes around it for transit time. Add in a shower at any point, and I’ve dedicated about one and a half to two hours for one work out. And I really need about two each day to get where I need to be.
Thank you. In my head, I am the fat chick. I self-identify with the fat chicks. I look at the skinny, lean, beautiful women, and I put myself outside of their group. I even look at the yoga teachers in all their grace and muscles and feminine curves and strength and beauty, and I can only admire them. Even though a number of people recently have told me that I should be a yoga teacher, in my head, I’m not good enough yet – and not just in needing to develop and hone skills, but also in looking like someone who treats her own body as a temple. (The super funny thing about this comment was I even got that last night. A guy was talking about how he likes skinny chicks – like size 2 skinny – and he was trying to make a point that “Big Beautiful Women” think they deserve “Fabios.” As he was talking, he’s was like, “Not girls like you – you’re not fat.” And I’m wondering how I must look to him with my current wonderful little muffin top rolling over my gym shorts.)
Thanks for asking. Are you volunteering to babysit for me? Honestly, I pay for child care at the gym, and I try to arrange some of my work outs to coincide with fun kids’ activities at the gym so that they get something out of going, too. I’ve begun experimenting with allowing my daughters increasing levels of responsibility, staying at home by themselves while I’m at the gym. I constantly juggle day care, gym child care, play dates, and self-reliance. Occasionally, I’ll even take them with me to a class. The thing is, most of the time when people ask this question, they don’t really want to know what you do; they’re horrified that you are doing something without your children and want to shame you into their concept of appropriate behavior. These are frequently the women who don’t work outside the home and cannot conceive of not having time to work out while their kids are at school. These women also are usually married, so they can leave the kids with their husband and have no worries.
Positive remarks on my progress. If you see that I can do something I couldn’t do before or you see a change in my attitude or physical being, say something nice.
Share a recipe with me for something that looks healthy. I don’t care if I can eat it or not based on my meal plan. It’s the thought that counts. Really.
Talk to me about what you’re doing. Tell me about the stuff you’re trying to reach your own goals. It doesn’t have to be health or fitness related – I am genuinely interested in your progress because I want to be your cheering section, too.
Offer to come with me to a class or have me join you in one of your favorite classes. There are few things more motivating to me than working out with a friend.
Talk me up when I want to quit. If I’ve had a rough day, remind me how much better I’ll feel after I go to the gym. Don’t be too kind to me. I probably just want to curl up in a cave and drink alcohol and eat myself into a carb coma. Encourage me to get out there are reach my goals. I’ll feel better when I have done something toward my goal.
Invite me to go do something fun or exciting – or just to have a cup of coffee. Whatever you’ve got going on that lights a fire in you, invite me along. I’m a pretty social little butterfly, but I don’t get out much, and I have fewer going out friends than you might think.
Ask about my progress. Show interest in the little gains I make. I know they might mean nothing to you, really, but fake it just a little. You know a fake orgasm is only fake for the person faking it.
Anyhow, Monday is my weigh-in day. I really start my challenge August 11, after I get back from seeing my BFF.
My goal is to make a measurable difference in my body fat percentage, increase my strength and stamina, tone my core and thighs, and see more definition in my shoulders and back. Food-wise, I want to be more consistent with water intake, reduce toxins in my system, and find a meal plan that is tenable for the long haul.
It’s so easy to fall into a routine of minutiae. It’s easy to think that filling the day with little menial tasks is actually accomplishing something, is DOING something. After all, it’s those little tasks that niggle at the back of your brain – or even sometimes at the front – that make you think you’re
Except that you can spend your whole day doing little things – those little things that get undone just as soon as they are finished – and it’s like writing love poems in the sand at low tide. Just an hour later, they’re washing away with the incoming waves, and you have nothing to show for your efforts, except perhaps a memory.
I think perhaps having the memory of seizing that 1:23 am surge of energy, getting up, fishing out my glasses from the bottom drawer of my fiance’s bathroom, making a cup of abysmally dark coffee spruced up with cinnamon and a half teaspoon of sugar, and writing something – ANYTHING – is the memory I want.
I do care about finally getting my fingers on the keyboard, staring at the screen, and taking dictation from the little narrator inside my head.
1) Uncertain Waters – though that’s just a working title – it’s the story of my life, my journal, my craptastic truth that is as strange as fiction
2) The Children’s Book – that is written. It’s WRITTEN. It’s complete. I just need to type it up and discover how to pitch it to a literary agent.
And it’s the fear of failure and the fear of success that are holding me back. It’s easier to be a writer who hasn’t tried than one who has tried and failed. And dammit, when I admit that to myself, it seems so chicken, so opposed to who I say I am, that I will do something about it.
So I will post here. I will blog. I will update with weird irregularity. Because I need a place to think out loud.
And I will see this book thing through. I will figure out how to share my stories. I won’t just jot them down; I will send them along.
So I’m just stealing time from myself right now to write this, but I realize that unless I do steal time, I will never, ever write anything that floats through my head as a potential post.
I may not even be able to edit or make this anything more than rambling because I just need to get it down before I have to go.
I’m at work, after hours, and decided to check up on email and stuff before I got in the car (rather than on the highway, which in my addle-pated mind is the PERFECT time to check email *sigh*), and I saw an updated blog post from my BFF, and I realized that I haven’t written anything in a week. Not actually physically written anything. I’ve thought the thoughts, but not dotted the dots. Or whatever. It hasn’t happened. And that’s because I never steal the time to sit down and write.
do laundry (yuck!) but really, now I’m digging in the clean laundry baskets for underwear, and that’s just never good
And now? Now I need to steal the time to drive through the wet streets to pick up my kids, feed them, do homework, chores, etc., and still get to the yoga class I want to attend. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I have a lot of great memories, but 2012 was rough. There was so much going on. I’m just glad to see it in the rearview mirror and look forward to a better year.
Before I went through the marathon process of logging in – I had forgotten my password – I had a whole bunch of things I had already mentally composed. Now I’m just fatigued. I’m just ready to surf Pinterest some more and call it a year.
Although that does remind me of one major thought I’d had: if you ever want to see the depths some people will plumb in an effort to be completely tasteless, just type in “zebra print” on Pinterest.
As for resolutions, I’m pretty sure I tanked on last year’s. I need to either be less ambitious or more disciplined. I’ll probably choose the former. Really, I’ve tried doing a whole bunch of stuff, and it makes me feel great for a while, but then I just don’t get it done, and I feel like a failure. So what’s the point? Instead, I just need to focus on like one major thing that I can do as my real resolution. I can change other stuff, and that will be just gravy – just extra goodness, but I need to stick to my guns and stick with one really important thing. The best I can say is that I didn’t gain a bunch of weight this year. I maintained. I got stronger and more flexible. I learned some limits. I tried something new – and I succeeded at it. I supported my kids in trying something new. I supported my husband in his professional growth.
I already know that I’m going to simplify this year. I’m going to give up some leadership positions and just try to focus on doing one or two things well instead of trying to do everything. I’m going to volunteer to help, but not to lead as much this year. What I do continue to lead, I want to do really well. If something doesn’t light up my life with joy, I’m going to drop it. I’m in my 30’s, and I need to make sure I enjoy this time. I need to make the most of it, my youth, my energy, my time with my family. I don’t need to ruin it by being constantly stressed.
On the other hand, I’m also working on developing or rekindling some relationships with friends. I realized that I need to put in some effort to maintain relationships with my friends. Just posting on Facebook isn’t enough. I need to put in face time as well as Facebook time.
And I’m working on getting my life in order with finances. That’s just a mess right now. An absolute, stress-ridden, wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat mess. I guess that’s going to be my biggest focus for 2013: getting a handle on my future by tackling the financial mess in which I’ve tangled myself.
Yes? I feel you. I’ve had a number of convo’s like that in the past. But, what if I told you- you can have a new experience this weekend and it will cushion your pocket just right? Here are 4 you can try out;
Yoga has been around for a couple of centuries and with the recent hype about the health benefits (and flexibility); yoga studios across the country are popping up like snapchat videos. But, for the first time in Kenya- we have a hot yoga studio, Bikram Yoga, located on the 2nd floor of Lavington Green shopping centre.
It’s the only one in Kenya, guys, and an introductory class (10 sessions) goes for Kshs. 2000. But, you can drop in for Kshs. 1800 before you join the introductory class to see if it’s the right fit for you. Each session is 90 minutes.
During the 90 minutes, you’ll perform 26 hatha postures and 2 breathing exercises in a heated room. The room is heated at 40 degrees celcius and 40 percent humidity so light clothing, a decent breakfast beforehand and enthusiasm is needed. They also have a juice bar and just for the record, their pineapple-ginger juice rocks!
For a long period of time, archery has been “an expatriate sport” and it’s been really expensive especially the kit. Who knew a bow and arrow can cost an arm, leg and kidney? The Nairobi Archery Club has made this way easier nowadays. The club offers training for both adults (1500/-) and children (700/-) and has membership if you want to take archery long- term. The sessions take place every weekend from 10 am to 4 pm at Purdy Arms in Karen and the kit is provided for the training.
The club also has very lively and bubbly people you’re bound to get along with and make good friends.
You know it’s really about to go down when the words “This is not a toy” are engraved on the guns. Paintball, like an actual armed combat in the field with guns and all, simulates all that. The guns look like actual guns and the bullets are marble size balls of paint that burst when they hit a target (you or your pals). However, if you’re just meters away- it may cause injury. Don’t worry though, the instructors will take you through everything and provide a protective suit for you before the session starts. It’s 1000 bob and on Sunday, this gets you 150 paintballs at Paintball Fury Limited in Karen.
The last time most people, including me, rode a bike was in teen years. Truth be told, after getting to high school- biking went to the back burner and teenage-hood took over. The best part, though, is there are so many options to get back into biking. There are numerous cycling clubs and cycling tour companies like Baiskeli you can join to regularly bike. There is also a bunch of cycling trails like in Karura you can check out even if you’re a beginner or just re-learning. If you don’t have a bike, you can hire it for roughly 1500 bob at Wheels of Africa or Cycloville Kenya.
Did I leave anything out or have you been to any of the four? Comment below and share your experience 

Thanks 🙂 ! It’s definitely coming up especially with the help of initiatives like the Africa Yoga Project, Yoga Kenya committee and so many more
I love archery! I would totally do that. Sounds like it’s not too expensive too. But in all honesty, pizza and movies are more my speed 😛
All these are very unique ideas! I’d love to try archery and that yoga sounds fun too! Though I don’t know if these would be the first things I did if I ever have chance to explore Nairobi! 🙂
First off, love the photo at the top with the bike! Also seems like a fun list of activities. I’m a pretty active person, so archery sound pretty cool, and paint balling too! I just don’t like getting hit with the paint balls haha 🙂
I know that these are activities you can do from most parts of the world.. .but there would be something particularly intriguing about doing bikram yoga in Nairobi. Great list!
Wow Hot Yoga sounds interesting. I have never heard of it in India, so super intrigued about it and would love to try. Archery seems interesting too…though I am sure I would do rather bad at it!
Thanks for reading Sid 🙂 ..It is. I didn’t know they don’t have it in India but it’s definitely something to try out. I feel you. Archery is amazing but a bit hard at first. It get easier with practice though. Hope you try it out!
Interesting list! I would love to try archery and biking. Though I do Yoga quite often, never tried the hot yoga thing.
Thanks Sindhu! Hot yoga is quite a lovely experience especially if you’ve done yoga before. Hope you try it out as well as archery and biking 🙂
This sounds really interesting. Would love to explore Kenya and do all these at Nairobi. Especially hot yoga and archery. Of course biking around new terrain has its own allure.
Thanks for reading! That’s great. Please do. Kenya is a beautiful country you’ll have fun exploring 🙂
Good to hear that yoga is popular in Kenya too and hot yoga looks super exciting. I would love to try my hands on paintball furry as well as on biking.
Paintball is loads of fun as well as biking and hot yoga. You’ll have an awesome time! Thanks for reading 🙂
All these look like fun activities. Archery got me interested because I have done some pistol and rifle shooting before. Aiming is fun 🙂 It surprised me that Yoga is popular in Kenya.
Immersive activities are always fun. Interesting to know that Yoga is popular in Nairobi. There are always budget friendly activities to do anywhere if you just look for it 🙂
That looks like interesting ways to spend a weekend in Kenya. I agree that paintball can hurt really bad if it hits the bare skin. would love to try out Archery one day.
I love hot yoga and biking! Common activities are the best to do in any city! (Or town) I practiced hot yoga for 6 months, then i couldn’t afford it anymore. I wish it was a little cheaper!
Not been to Nairobi but it certainly also somewhere on my travel list 🙂 I love to play paintball! Played it two weeks ago in Belgium, so much fun!
I didn’t think that you could do archery in Nairobi! That sounds like a lot of fun! I don’t know how I feel about hot yoga though. I have tried normal yoga and I didn’t really get into it. It’s nice to know that yoga is popular in Kenya as well.
These are some amazing activities to do in Nairobi. Though we had heard about Yoga and paintball fury and biking we usually don’t get to hear about bow and arrow clubs. Its is interesting to know that they accommodate even the kids. Paintball fury would be a fun time spent with friends and family.
Hot Yoga… hmm.. that sounds hot! I have seen power yoga, nude yoga, and all other sort of yogas but this is new. He he… Personally though biking will be my favorite.
It would really be amazing to see the area around Nairobi on a bike. Are there any well-developed trails that are good for Sightseeing? Or is it mainly shorter circular trails for exercise? 🙂
