Every Friday, a group of my friends gather together at someone’s house to watch movies—and eat. Pretty much it’s a potluck dinner anytime we socialize with each other. Sometimes we seem to non-verbally coordinate very well and have a healthful spread fit for a king. Other times it’s not so good as it is desserts [...]
I cheated and looked ahead. Tomorrow is indulgence day. I’m not looking forward to it. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I haven’t been the paradigm of diet perfection the past few weeks. This was so unlike PCP-me who remained vigilant and faithful throughout the entire program. KFB-me seems to be a cheater. [...]
Who knew the two late nights and a pretty killer walk over the past three days would whup my ass today? At work, I was dragging like anything and the clock advanced ever so slowly. Then I got home an did the exercises—still dragging and time was moving at a snail’s pace. Dinner and soon [...]
I think I have found a new exercise that will replace the love/hate relationship I had with the Plank. “I have given a name to my pain, and it is Horse!” The Horse Stance wasn’t that bad in the beginning, but at a hold of 40 seconds it is a killer. Which probably means that [...]
At the time it sounded like a good idea. Well, actually it didn’t. It was more of an okay idea which I decided to go along with. Little did I realize that by the end of the night it would prove to be a really horrible idea. After the meeting last night, a couple of [...]
I am skipping out on KFB today—no workout whatsoever. This was not the original plan I had this morning. Unfortunately there were a number of circumstances that went way beyond my control. As some of you read a couple days ago, I had a deadline to finish a newsletter. Today was the actual printing date. [...]
The message today indicates that a change of footwear is suggested. The big clunky sneakers are good for jumprope, but hinders the other movements. A light shoe is recommended, especially one with a flat sole, or we can go barefoot (depending on the ground/floor condition). What I’d really love to get is a pair of [...]
Although I am thoroughly enjoying the KFB workout, my day has been feeling a little off since the first day I started off on this adventure. I pretty much dropped every exercise I had been doing previously in order to experience this one much as a newcomer might when they signed up. The problem I [...]
I have spent much time with family the past couple of days. We were with my partner’s family yesterday, and then I saw my family today. Amazingly enough, there was one theme that seemed to resonate with both groups that I got to hear repeatedly over the two days: “You’ve lost a lot of weight!” [...]
I will say that I’m lovin’ the KFB exercise schedule, mainly because it mimics my old PCP schedule—Friday is the “end of the week” and therefore the easy workout day. This is perfect for me because Friday is the day that me and my friends gather for a potluck dinner and a movie of some [...]
