A few weeks ago I hosted a giveaway for a Gym In A Bag, and guess what? Jerry at Gym in a Bag was so impressed by your comments that he wanted to give another one away! Thanks Jerry! I’ve been using it consistently since I got mine and have enjoyed feeling stronger and more [...]

I was remembering back to my 300 pound days. And unfortunately I wasn’t having fond memories of those days, but rather pathetic memories. I was a young woman with young children and my overriding emotion during those 10 years of obesity was tired. As I’m sitting here writing this post I have a terrible cold. I don’t feel horrible, but my throat hurts a lot. It started with one of the boys and he happily coughed all over me and everyone else. So now we’ve all had it/gotten it. It made me think about resting, exercise, and how [...] It’s true that I live in the South, but I have lived in cold climates as well. Trying to figure out how to stay active in the winter can be a challenge. Especially when, according to MizFit, the average person eats over 600 extra calories a day during the holiday season! No wonder a lot [...] We had a great day yesterday. We decorated the yard for Christmas, we had a nice meal, and I ran a 5K! YAY! This particular 5K benefited a charity organization that provides food to underprivileged folks that live here. The morning was cold as you can see from my posture walking up to the start line.

The talking about it. The self examination. The ups. The downs. The gains. The losses. As many of you know, I’ve been fighting a knee issue on and off for a few months. I waited until the last minute to decide if I would be able to run the Pink Ribbon 5K, and decided I could do it! So my sweet husband got up early with me this morning and [...] I was reading some blogs this weekend and came across this post from 266. In it she describes her experience pushing herself to walk 25 km in one day. For those of us who are metrically challenged, that’s approximately 15 miles. And no, 266 is not a super athlete, training for an iron man triathlon. [...] So often in weight loss circles you hear the phrase, “Just Say No.” Say no to treats. Say no to excess food. Say no to social occasions you can’t control yourself in. Just say no. And for a lot of situations involving food and weight loss, you do have to learn to just say no. |
