I’m just running out of steam this week. I know what happens when I get wound up too tight and don’t get enough sleep. I crave sugar to compensate. I go into veg mode and want to just sit comatose in front of the tv for hours. It is run day tomorrow though and I’ve [...]

I joined the Healthy You Challenge about two weeks ago now. I can’t believe the difference it is making. I’ve been having the most hectic week but still, somehow, this little online community is helping me keep that in check. I even have PMS and I’m still managing to stay committed!
If you are new here, [...]

I read this just now on a Josh Hillis’ Fat Loss and Fitness blog:
“I think that’s how most everything works. You have to be it first for a time. You have to produce consistent results.”
Thanks Josh! This simple statement transfers over to so much that is going on in my life right now.

Fellow C25K blogger Fate or Destiny just wrote that after tallying her Calories expended running for Week 6 of C25K, she found she had burned 2000 Calories running. That blew my mind. It sounds like so much. No wonder it feels so satisfying. Another good reason to keep on running.

This week the runs alternate 6 sets of run 90 sec, walk 2 min (5 min warm up and 5 min cool down).
Today’s run wasn’t all happy shiny people holding hands and loving life. That said, not for one minute did I even think about not wanting to do it and when it was done [...]

I’ve gotten a few requests for some typical daily menus. I’m really trying to get in the habit of keeping track more often anyway and especially pre-planning my days so this will be good for me.

It is still the weekend so I’m letting myself get away with not absolutely counting Calories today. I didn’t yesterday either but then I was totally in line all day with my food plan as it has been going all week.
Today I decided that I didn’t need any kind of crazy blow out meal for [...]

Good Morning!
It IS a good morning today. The sun is shining and it is a beautiful crisp fall day here. I want to go running but I’ll settle for a walk today since I am supposed to rest between run days and I do NOT want to get injured.
I moved my weigh day to Sunday [...]
