I am NOT a cheater!

Got that right! :)

As I told my buddy Jess, Tuesday was a great day!  :)

I stuck to my plan for my off exercise day which turned out to be more exercise then off.  I used www.mapmyrun.com to figure out where I can walk and what the distance is.  Great site!  Base on that I know that I can get 4 miles easy in during my 2 breaks and lunch.

I have to tell you, I really wasn’t in the mood to walk, but since I set a goal, I must achieve.  When it was time for the lunch walk of 2.10 miles, there was for a split second a thought to cut corners and cheat!! I thought to self, self - if you cheat and cut corners, who loses?  Not anyone but me! So I did all 4 miles and was very proud of myself.  And I added in some core work too by walking the edge of the side walk like it was a balance beam.

I got a text from Nygel before going home - girl, I’m subbing Cat’s yoga class - you coming?  Of course!! I was there faster then an Asian girl gulping down her rice (me).

I got there early so I did 15 minutes on the elliptical then, since I got bored waiting for yoga to start at 5:30, I ended up doing 20 minutes of the kickboxing class that was ending.  Giving self a high five - lots in for a NON-EXERCISE night! :)

Oh - and let’s not forget the 100 push-ups we did in yoga - tricep push-ups my favorite killers!!!!  So no weights Wednesday since I did push-ups and weights two days in a row.

Today it’s simple kickboxing and pilates!! WHOO HOOOOO!!! Gotta love the rush!

I’m in a much better mood.  Broke or not, I just have to deal with all the lemons rolling my way.  Anyone want some lemonade?  Sugar too?  LOL!!!!!! :)

    Girl you’re one to be admired. I cheat myself all the time. :(

    “NON-Excercise day”….. hmmm…. ;)
    You are so right (as always ;) ) if we cheat we cheat ourselves :) I love it that you even use your lunch breaks for workout.
    Can’t wait to hear what you end up doing on an “Excercise Day” ;)

    Joy, oh - you’re talking about the oil change crap - my car is old so no freebie with it. Well, free when ROd changes it. :) No more cheating yourself girl! :)

  4. khmerbeauty @ November 18th, 2009

    Honestly, I’ve been working out more like 3 or 4 times a week but I pack in 2 to 3 hours and get it done. So anything beyond those days is an extra “gift” to myself. :) Thanks for the love Sabrina!

  5. joy @ November 18th, 2009

    I eat only what my body needs and I exercise faithfully as much as I can. So, I may not lose as fast as you, but hey you are in California, and I am in the cold rainy city of Springfield, IL. You lucky person.

    The cost of living is high there and my mother-in-law won’t let me move in with her LOL. But I bet it is worth it. That weather is great.

    Keep up the good work. NO Cheating for both of us.

  6. joy @ November 18th, 2009

    I just noticed you are only 8 pounds away from goal. Excellent work!

  7. khmerbeauty @ November 18th, 2009

    Oh yes - you are so right Carol, I forget that I do have good warm weather when the rest of the country doesn’t have it. THANKS! And no cheating, no cutting corners for any of us. :)

  8. wildflower5 @ November 18th, 2009

    Good for you! I feel kind of inspired after reading that, and trust me, I need the inspiration. Thanks!

  9. khmerbeauty @ November 18th, 2009

    You are welcome Jo! :) Every week, we must exercise and take care of number one - our body. :)

  10. miesha831 @ November 18th, 2009

    Sometimes we all need that little push so that we won’t cheat! With the thought process you put in to figure out how to cheat…you could be a quarter of the way finished by the time you figure it out lol! Keep moving and being an inspiration to others sweets!

  11. AuntTeeTee @ November 18th, 2009

    NON EXERCISE DAY huh?! lol I feel so much better if I have a “non exercise day” too. I feel lazy if I do absolutely nothing. :)

    Tricep push ups..omg I am starting to love those things! regular pushups..ehh not so much. lol

  12. 8crazyemotions @ November 18th, 2009

    AWESOME job!!!! I’m going to have to look up that site to see how far it is to places so I can walk and run outside too!
    Keep up the GREAT work!!!

  13. jennifer0414 @ November 18th, 2009

    Great non exercise day. I need to check that mapmyrun thing out. However unless I want to be in rain gear it wont be till spring LOL.

  14. khmerbeauty @ November 18th, 2009

    The site is so useful guys - or even go to www.mapmywalk.com. Great tools to get you motivated to walk in your neighborhood or run but I’m not into running anymore.

  15. khmerbeauty @ November 18th, 2009

    I love love love love PUSH-UPS Tiffany. They are the best for upper body strength conditioning. One source to get the best bicep, triceps and chest. Everything else is just gravy on top right? :)

  16. meltingaway @ November 18th, 2009

    awe thanks for the shot out Nancy. The whole day sounds great! I am so happy for you. Yep no matter what the money situation is, it is what it is and we can’t let it rule our entire lives.

  17. coolbird30 @ November 18th, 2009

    Awesome!! You and your push-ups! Go!!

  18. mandag @ November 18th, 2009

    I will take some lemon water please. That’s as close as I can get to some lemonade with not being allowed any sugar on my diet! HAHA! Glad to hear that your doing so well at the gym. You are quite the inspiration seeing as though I can only do about 5-10 push ups myself!!!

  19. Angela @ November 18th, 2009

    No cheating is the way to go! I hate push-ups. Have any tricks to doing them?

  20. kamaperry @ November 18th, 2009

    Would Never accuse YOU of cheating!! You always go the whole mile!
    Can you remind me of what triceps pushups are? I want to build a floor routine to do at home on Tuesday nites./
    I am loving your walking on break idea!!
    I want to get into more yoga too, but the ones at the gym are pretty advanced. I will get there, though.
    Awesome job, woman!
    Lol, I like the Asian girl on white rice, statement, hehe ;)

  21. Lori @ November 18th, 2009

    Oh I’ll take some lemonade
    maybe we could find some young hot guys to serve it to us on platters
    maybe they could give us foot rubs and massages

    hmmmm lemonade doesn’t sound that bad at all

    Oh lets get back to your blog LOL

    Okay well that’s your idea of a non exercise day huh?
    LOL

    Great job with your walking and you are so right that there’s no point in cheating its only you that loses out.
    That sounds like a cool site I think I will check it out.

    Have a great day Nancy

  24. opticalgirl @ November 18th, 2009

    Cannot imagine you on a nonexercise day!!!! Just not happening. Wish to have your energy again. I guess I’ll just make use of the stuff this old body has. Way to go Sunshine!!!!!

  25. khmerbeauty @ November 18th, 2009

    LOL - YES, I realized now I should not have called it a non-exercise day but any day out of my usual routine is something I thrive on. I guess that’s why I was so excited to get a lot in. :)

    Loving the love!!

  26. angie1o @ November 19th, 2009

    Glad that you had a great day, nancy!!!
    Hey I use mapmyrun too!

  27. Raytchaelle @ November 19th, 2009

    Yay walking on lunch breaks!!! Too bad I don’t live closer, then we could walk together! Oh well.. at least I don’t feel like the only one in the world who walks instead of eating lunch! ;)
    Good job on not cheating yourself!

  28. kyliejo @ November 19th, 2009

    Yeah we are freezing out butts off here in KS! Be glad it’s nice and warm!
    I like it when I exercise and don’t “plan” it! I did some push ups yesterday in boot camp class and I thought of you!

  29. chelleybones @ November 19th, 2009

    Great job on working out on your lunch break. I look back and think how much use I could of made out of my lunch breaks. Keep up the great work.

  30. renee68 @ November 19th, 2009

  31. spacebarisstuck @ November 19th, 2009

  32. DeannaLynnCox @ November 20th, 2009

    Wow, for a non-exercise day you really did do a lot. I’m glad you felt great about it all and achieved your walking goal! Good job! I can’t wait till I can start exercising again. I probably won’t be able to do as much exercise as you ever but your passion for it just never stops amazing me and keeps me pumped to do my best as well! Thanks so much Nancy!

  33. Venus103 @ November 20th, 2009
