Good Day

I am happy to say I am feeling so much better now. I haven't gone to the gym these past few days but I'll be working on that. I went hiking with Sukhvir today in Runyon Canyon. I first heard about this place when I started talking to people about training for a marathon. I would definitely recommend you guys to check it out....it was a good work out!

Here are pictures from the trails...the stairs that left my legs sore!...the Hollywood sign and view of Los Angeles.

Update

Good news....I ran!!! Well it was for only 6 minutes on the treadmill. My back was super sore the next day but I think its because Ive been working out on the elliptical the past week. Im so glad I stuck with my stretching/workout plan!

Bad Days

We talk about stressful situations causing us to eat junk food or decrease our motivation to stay active but normally when Im stressed out …I work out. Unfortunately, this has not been case these past few days and I blame it all on my car! Long story short, I ve been having car trouble for awhile now, just paid bunch of money to get it fixed….but a few days ago it stopped on me causing the brakes and steering wheel to lock and my car ended up facing oncoming traffic so my conclusion is….. the car is not fixed!!!!!

Now I m not only upset I have to pay more to get it fixed, I’ve been eating out almost everyday and not work out but Im also stuck driving the pimpmobile…..that is my dad’s old van. So if you see a gray caravan, with a rosary in the rear view mirror and a nice set of rims…..its probably me!

BTW,

The point of that rant is stressful situations have caused me to abandon my health ways.

Update

Now that I can go to the gym, I ve been going more often. Its nice having much more options to workout instead of just simple stretches for my back. Not having to deal with the constant back pain has made it so much easier to work out. Im so much more motivated to be active and eat healthy. It also helps that the weather warmer up and that means swim suit season!!!
