I weighed in again this AM. I was a bit nervous actually. I thought perhaps yesterday was a fluke and maybe I was back up. Funny my body “felt” thinner when I was heavier at 141.8 and this morning, I “felt” heavier. But yay, the scale showed 138.6. I’m definitely feeling back to normal. I [...]

Making Some Spring Adjustments – Diet, Fitness, Food, Mental Outlook
I’m making this post public for complete personal accountability. It’s the only way I’m going to be able to get through this rough patch and stick to my healthy lifestyle plan! I can’t allow this to discourage me or set me back into old habits! So, I’ve lowered my calories by 30 over at MyFitnessPal. [...]
Day One – Keeping Accountable
I’m going to start working out again. Making a public announcement will hopefully keep me accountable. Wii Fit this AM, good workout on the “bike” – gotta keep it up. I’m shooting for 2-3 times per week. That is reasonable and doable! I haven’t gained any weight (still 138-140), but my lower body area is [...]
Hope I Am Back on Fitness Track
Finally worked out again this morning. I’ve been in a fitness lag of sorts, but it surprisingly hasn’t affected my weight in the least. I guess my metabolism is good, even without actual exercise. I am active all day long, so I guess that is most important. Anyway, I worked out for 35 minutes on [...]
Couch To 5K (C25K)
Well, I semi-started the Couch to 5K program this morning. I was inspired by my sister-in-law who has been walking/jogging; since we have a planned camping trip next month together, I thought it was a good incentive for me to get going too, so I can keep up with her if we decide to jog [...]
154.6 – yay yay yay
Lost one more pound. Crazy! 154.6 – weighed on Wii Fit too, and it said 155 So that is about 45 pounds total! Crazy! I gotta start toning more, getting back to doing yoga more often! I try doing it for a couple of minutes in the morning, but now that my yoga mat is [...]
First Bike Ride of the Season
I am so proud of myself! Wow! My DH and I went on our first bike ride of the season (40 minutes trip). I kicked ass! He had a difficult time keeping up, and I wasn’t even going at my peek! I tried to burst a couple of times and it was amazing. Usually, when [...]
The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps – Book Review
When I first heard about the book, The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps: 100 Easy Changes to Start Living a Healthier Lifestyle, I assumed from the title, that it was mainly about food swaps. Use olive oil instead of butter, or instead of eating a fatty donut, try whole wheat toast. Similar to the “Eat This, [...]
Yoga is even better
I can’t believe how much better I am getting at yoga! It’s amazing! I tried the same OnDemand “YogaWorks -Begin” show tonight and I could do just about everything, while my poses and holds were so much smoother. And it makes me feel so strong and confident. I love yoga!
Yoga Revisited
This morning, I woke up and my whole upper body was wonderfully sore! I have been working out every night, and last night I thought there might not be enough time since we went out to eat to the Outback, but I looked at the clock, it was 7pm, and I thought okay, let’s do [...]
