How I did it
How to eat more fruit
It took me
1 year
It made me
healthier

How I did it: I eat fruits and veggies non-stop now - at every meal. Fresh & frozen & dried, whole & juiced, whatever. It is just a matter of keeping my kitchen stocked and trying some new recipes and ways of preparing them every now and then. I have made an effort to reach for fruits as a snack, and that really helps, too. Read how I did it…

How to get my abs back
It took me
90 days
It made me
proud

How I did it: Yeah I'm pretty excited about this one. I did what I knew I had to do all along. Diet and exercise. A lot of exercise. Dance, strength training, pilates, cardio. I'm no fitness magazine model, but I have some sweet little mini-abdominals. Read how I did it…

How to revamp my wardrobe
It took me
1 year
It made me
polished

How I did it: There's not much to write about this one. I started with the basics - some simple dresses, suits, dress shirts. Then I moved on to accessories and trendy pieces. I never spend much on trendy pieces. I asked for jewellery for some birthdays and anniversaries to help complete everything. Shoes were the hardest and most expensive to shop for. I would still like to get a few pairs and a good pair of jeans. Read how I did it…

lose 5-10 lbs (read all 3 entries…)
I should really start weighting myself..

I don’t even own a scale. Part of me just wants to judge my weight by how I look and feel, and how my clothes fit – not a number on the scale.

I’ve been doing intense exercise for 4 weeks now. I would say I’ve lost a few lbs, especially on my thighs and around my torso. Probably 3 lbs. Wish I weighed myself before-hand to actually know if I’ve lost. Then again, my clothes are fitting better, everything is firming up, I feel a lot better.. so that’s a good sign, right?

Run a 5k race (read all 3 entries…)
Can't quite do 5k yet..

Well, I am doing couch to 5k, so I am only on week 4. 5K still seems a bit intimidating, as I’m basically doing 15 minute miles (running and walking). I guess the main thing is that I finish.

I’m hoping it won’t quite take 45+ mins though…

Almost every day I complete a full 2 miles though (3k)- I can feel my cardio and body’s tolerance building up.

exercise more (read all 5 entries…)
Week 4

I am on week 4 of C25K (c25k.com).

It is challenging, but now I can run for 5 minutes straight with no problems. My asthma doesn’t even act up anymore.

It feels like a really good workout. Everything is toning up (some light weight work a few times a week helps with this too) – my stomach is flat, I have more energy. I just need to focus on getting a good amount of sleep on a regular basis.
