Week 7 – Decisions, Decisions
Seven weeks done and we’re just about two months in now. Feels good. Still feeling good about the physical demands of the UBBT and still struggling with the mental challenges. In a way it feels good to be confident. I thought it would take a bit longer to get comfortable with knowing that I have to do 150 push ups …
A Tofu Smoothie… Mmmm
Tofu Goodness Just For You Just wanted to offer up another tofu recipe. This one will likely be more appealing… I mean, who doesn’t love smoothies?!?!?! The thing with this recipe is that it hides the tofu really well because it calls for silken tofu. Silken tofu basically has the consistency of yogurt so it’s a perfect swap. Ingredients: 6 …
Week 4 And a Merry Christmas
Days away from the first month. Doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. Things are starting to feel like part of a routine, and don’t feel so much like I have to make time for it. I think that’s my biggest accomplishment so far. Now, I’m feeling like listing, I’m a lister: I got a new gi for Christmas… karate …

Week 3 – Am I Buff Yet?
No… not yet. But… Definitely getting stronger. I say that for two reasons: My push-ups are getting easier, and, more importantly, 150 push-ups a day doesn’t feel as scary. Still scary, just not as scary. I had some rough days this week. Fighting off a cold by leaving work early for a nap so I’d have the energy for karate …
UBBT – Week 2
2 weeks down, 50 or so to go! So far so good. I’m keeping up with my lunch time workouts and I continue to be “motivated” (read taunted or teased) by my cell mates at work. The white board in my cubicle is a special little alert to my neighbor who apparently doesn’t like odd numbers. Every now and then …
A little bit of tofu in your life…
A couple weeks ago Mr. Oliver asked me to share some tofu recipes with the class. So, here comes recipe number 1. nLet me just say… A lot of people I talk to who dislike tofu say it’s “a texture thing.” Now, you can sneak the silken tofu into a smoothie and *poof* … You just protein’d up your frozen …
UBBT: Week 1 (ish)
Week 1 So, it’s not really been a week yet, but I’m a the Monday – Sunday week kinda’ gal, so… This week felt good. I’m able to get a lot in during my hour lunch break which is pretty lucky. I slip away from my desk right at 12 and am out the door for my run by 12:05. …
