I was browsing on Pinterest today, when I saw this workout. It’s called the Awesome Legs Workout by Teresa Tapp.

I started it today, and I resolve to do it everyday. It hurts a lot the first few sets. A friend also recommended that I do crunches and leg raises after each set. I might follow his advice. We’ll see how effective this workout is, since I’m so out shape because I have been gorging on junk food a lot. My poor thighs.

It’s also about time that I take out my exercise mat. I haven’t used it in more than a year. See how physically unfit I am? I’ll blog again in the next few weeks to give my feedback about this workout.

It was also very slippery. But when we reached the peak and took in the view – it was breathtaking and worth the effort.

Now, each time I try to stand up from my chair, my thighs scream – and I just look at that photo to make myself feel better.

On the bright side – my trekking shoes (from Merrell) really are worth the price I paid: no blisters!


The other day, I just felt like a change. Plus, it was scorching hot and my long hair – which I have had for a loooong time! – was getting annoying.

So I went to my stylist and I told her to have fun and make me look decent. I walked out with this haircut.


I’ve heard many covers of Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, but Siri Nilsen’s version is by far my favorite.

My pristine, brand new Merrell trekking sandals. I wasn’t able to get a photo of the sandals post-trek. We had to meet up at a McDonald’s in our area, so I had my last order of fries for the next 24 hours.
