My Beef With Fit TV

I like to change my work-out routines to keep it fun. I like varieties in order not get bored with my physical activities. If I’m not dancing, doing Tae-Bo, Pilates, or doing my hardcore routine of weights, squats, abs, etc, I usually tune in to Fit TV. I love to work-out with Sharon Mann […]

Weight Watcher Points, Progresso Soups and Other Weight Loss Notes

I’m really digging the Weight Watchers Points plan. I’m not a meetings person, but I bought the material on eBay and researched weight loss sites and forums for inspiration.
What I love most about this plan is how I can eat whatever I want as long as I stay within my point limit. 24 […]

Online Food Diaries.

A health insurance plan that I was on a few years ago had a great program to track you daily caloric intake and exercise. Unfortunately, when we changed insurance carriers, I could no longer access this service. I remember that I liked using it, and it was a great tool in helping me lose some […]

6 Great Exercises for Plus Women

I’m happy to announce that I made it to the gym three times this week, which was part motivation and part pre-surgery jitters. Yes, I did have to head into the doctors for a little corrective procedure, but I’m already back and have been given the clear to head back in the gym tomorrow for […]

Move Over Mary Lou

As I’ve mentioned before, I am a former gymnast. Growing up, I didn’t really work out, I just went to gymnastics. Four hours a day, six days a week of intensive training is work out enough. But I really enjoyed it. I felt about gymnastics the way Dexie felt about her dancing. It was the […]

The Secrets of my Non-Success

1.  Work entirely too much.  Obsessively, even.
2.  Feel guilty for not spending proper time with the kids, so when you’re not obsessively working, you are taking care of them.
3.  *Forget* to take care of you.
4.  Buy quick and easy snacks and meals.  They are always great for you.
5.  Don’t plan ahead for success.  Fate […]

Finding The Joy In Physical Activity

Some people would be surprise about this fact about me but I actually like all the physical activity during work-out. For months I’ve had a hard time having that motivation to “move”. And that’s what was lacking in me. I had an epiphany last week about it. I was so caught up in the idea […]

How Many Steps Do You Take?

So it’s recommended everyone takes at least 10,000 steps each day to lead a healthy lifestyle. That’s all fine and dandy, but how does one keep track? It’s kind of hard to count steps when you sit and stand as much as I do.
I decided to get myself a pedometer to make sure […]

Just a Wee Bit Better this Week!

I feel like I made a bit of progress this week. Yes, it was a wee bit, as I stated in the title, but something is better than nothing.
I started off the week with no power, so that meant two nights in a hotel - that had a very nice little gym! I forgot […]

Going to the Gym. . . and Still Loving Me Some Chocolate

Another week of exercise, and I did it this time! I made it to the gym three times this week, and I tried to take it easy on myself so I didn’t scare myself away. ;) This week was the elliptical. . . next week, I’m shooting for the elliptical plus some floor strength training. […]
