A Skinny Day

10/30/2009

I find that on my blog and in my everyday life too, I focus a lot on the challenges of losing weight and staying fit. Struggling to get to the next level, finding time to work out, avoiding the evil foods that are everywhere….especially right now with Halloween tomorrow. I’ve yet to let Halloween...

Best. Apples. Ever.

Best. Apples. Ever.    

I’ve gone back to my beginnings with my weight-loss food choices. I had been rocking the boat as of late, letting some of the old, “not so good for me” foods back in and leaving some of the “better for you” foods out. I’m a convenience eater, meaning my food has to be quick...

Setting Weight Loss and Fitness Goals

10/26/2009

These last couple of weeks on my fitness journey have been a slippery slope. The change in weather/daylight has thrown off my exercise routine. And after 15 months of being in control of my food intake, recently, that’s been slipping too. Not measuring here, a little extra there, and really, how bad can that...

Developing a Healthy Relationship With Food

10/22/2009

I do not have a healthy relationship with food. Or should I say I don’t have a healthy relationship with the part of my brain that decides what and how much I eat. I so desperately would like this to change, and I’d been hopeful that it could, but I’ve come to the conclusion...

Run, Reflect, Run

10/21/2009

Yesterday was my 25th wedding anniversary. My husband and I chose to keep things low-key cause that’s the way we are and well, it was a Tuesday. We both also turned 50 this year. No fanfare. It is a happy anniversary even though we both wish we could win lotto and retire from our...

Fessing Up

10/20/2009

You may have noticed my absence from the blog world and even twitter this week. Well, not only did I fall off the edge of the virtual world, I more or less fell off of the “watching what I eat, exercising regularly” wagon as well. I can’t really pinpoint what did me in. A...

A Change in the Weather

A Change  in the Weather

Our weather here shifted this week. It’s been getting more and more fall-like all along, but this week, it’s cold. And it promises to be rainy by the end of the week. Until now, I’ve been still getting my runs in outside. First in the morning, and more recently after work, while it’s still...

What You Need to Become a Triathlete

10/13/2009

Sunday, when I was checking stats for my brother’s triathlon that morning, on the event site, there was a link to articles about triathlon and training. Of course, being a triathlon newbie, I’m always interested in whatever information I can find on the subject. The title for this one article was similar to the...

Ready, Set, Go!

Ready, Set, Go!

Yesterday, I went to watch the Cedar Beach Sprint Triathlon. My brother, who got me into this in the first place, was competing, as was my cousin, who got my brother hooked on triathlon. While it was a sprint distance, 750m swim, 15-mile bike and 5k run, I chose not to compete because I...

Powering Through

10/09/2009

Yesterday I had a day off from work. “Yippee!!!!” you might say. “A day off, oh how I could use a day off from work,” you might think, feeling slightly jealous that I actually had a coveted day off from work. However, when you hear WHY I was off from work, you will definitely...
