Changing My Life One Roll at a Time!
Plan Your Attack Fitness & Weight Loss Planner Can you believe it? It’s nearly 2017!!! I can honestly tell you I am so NOT ready for it. I mean, 2016 has not been my best year as far as weight loss and fitness goes (not my worst either). It started off great. Then… hit a bump. I got back on track. Then hit a pothole and I have staid there
Turning The BIG 4-0 I’ve been thinking about this post and this day for awhile now. Longer than anything else I’ve ever written I think. Entirely too long for sure. Turning 40… I’m just not ready. I have gone from wanting to run and hide from this day. To wanting to cry. To pretending it’s not really happening. But it is. I’m 40. Maybe it wouldn’t feel so sad and
Down 31.2 Pounds & Counting It’s been a long road of changes. Trial and error. Ups and downs. Any time you’re making major changes in your life, ANY type of changes, it can be tiring. Well, this weight loss thing is no different. It’s hard! It’s challenging!! It’s exhausting!!! But it’s worth it! Two years ago I crossed the 200.0 lbs mark on my scale. I literally sat down and cried.
Running For People Who Hate Running Can I be honest for a second? I HATE running. Hate it. If I could choose any one thing to eliminate from the face of the earth forever, it would probably be a toss up between cockroaches and running. But…in the years I’ve been fighting the good fitness fight, I have yet to find an exercise that is better for my overall health than
Overcoming Unhealthy Eating Habits Lots of people love food. I don’t. In fact, my feelings about food hover somewhere between “basic necessity” and “worst enemy”. I cannot recall a time that I have eaten food without feeling either rushed and/or guilty. The idea of sitting down to eat a meal and purely enjoying the experience without nagging fears of gaining weight or appearing greedy is a novel concept to me.
Jump Start Your Health In August I had enough of feeling lousy, tired, and feeling my heart flutter. I knew I was not eating in a way that producing good health- ice cream, cookies, cake, are not parts of a well-balanced diet. In my head I knew I needed to change things around drastically. However, the will power to do so was just not there. In the evening I would
One Step at a Time How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How do you make a lifestyle change? One step at a time. When we decide that we are going to lose weight, we begin to think of all of the things we need to do in order to reach our goals. Eat better. Consume fewer calories. Drink more water. Exercise. Where many of us
In Pursuit of Health.. I am excited to report that my month of May went much better than all the months so far this year. Not because of exercise, though. I have to admit that I did not exercise much. However, I still reduced my weight by more* than 18 pounds. I started really REALLY actively DOing the program I started on May 5th. I started a couple weeks before
Keep Moving Forward One of our son’s favorite movies is Disney’s “Meet the Robinsons.” It is a sweet story of a little boy named Lewis who is able to go forward in time to meet his future family and self. Lewis discovers that eventually his life’s motto will be “Keep Moving Forward.” This month, God has had to remind me through His Word that even in weight loss
Knowing What Needs to Change – And Changing It! One of the hardest things in weight loss can actually be knowing what you need to change. Or maybe you know what to change but don’t know where to start. Always began this weight loss journey with your doctor. Sometimes it’s just not as simple as eat less & healthier and exercise more.
