For my followers here who don't have me friended on facebook, click on the post title to go to my 'story' Where do I go from here? 5k at the endo f the month. Bikini body by august...and I have the outline of a book in the rough draft stages. Sounds like a plan huh?
Or off your ass, depending on how you want to look at it. I did both =) I've been out on the trail at Tellico today since about 8:30. It's a beautiful, sunny, HUMID, spring morning. Shin splints are not bothering me. I can slow run or fast jog, again, depending on how you want to look at it, for a good bit now. I'm certainly not up to a 5k, but I'm going to do it anyway. This will be my first 5k and I'm actually excited about it. Even in my teens at 88 pounds I couldn't run. Just goes to show, it does...
Just a short post to let you know that I'm having comp problems, yet again, and I had NO CLUE that my story had been posted on AOL. I'm so glad you found me! I should be back up and running soon and I have a lot to say. I do get very opinionated and bossy so just hang with me, we'll all reach our goals together, one way or another. Melissa
I get so frustrated when I see people on health sites asking 'how much should I eat?" or "What portion size should I eat?" Really? You need me or anyone else to tell you how much to eat? If I tell you 4oz chicken breast will that make you happy? Actually, if you did ask me, I'm going to say "How much do you ned to eat to feel satisfied?" I've found that when told you can have a 4 oz chicken breast you're going to feel like that is a limit not be exceeded, therefore your "I'm still hungry" rebellious mod...
I have a new best friend. Actually she's been around for a long time. Mrs. Dash. She comes in soooo many flavors thses days that it's hard to pick just one. However, I cook a lot of poultry and fish so I narrowed the field to just one; Carribean Citrus. The flavor is just right, just a little spicy, and no salt! You just can't beat it. Fast recipe 1/4 cup sherry 1 tbsp Mrs Dash Carribean Citrus spice 1/4 cup GrapeOla 4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts Mix the first 3 ingredients then pour over chick...
I made a 1 mile run Sunday. A very slow one mile run, but I did it! and I havent' gone back to do a repeat. I am once again becoming a professional self saboteur. I can get a long long way, finally get good at what I want to do, then I get scared or performance anxiety, I'm not sure which and stop. I'm not sure how to get past that mental roadblock. I can just do it anyway, but I have to get in a position where I can just do it anyway. If I don't have my running shoes on then I'm not going to run. If I d...
Lose Weight that is 1) Get enough sleep which is something I've been struggling with as I get older and my hormone levels fluctuate. Especially when I get off track with my supplements. 2) Eat a good breakfast. Protein and carbs get the day off to a good startand fuel your body.Seriously! The'experts' seem to be right on this one. I usually have 2 scrambled eggs with torn up baby spinach and cheese mixed in on a slice of Pepperidge Farms 15 grain whole wheat bread, 4 oz milk and 4 oz orange juice. I'm ...
Readers, this is your fair warning. A down in the dumps alert...Sometimes I just need to talk myself through the rough spots.I get afraid, sometimes, of what my life will be like when I get to my 'goal'. I think part of that is from people saying they think I look great now. Really? I'm hovering at the 200 pound mark and I look great? When I look in my mirror I see a fat woman who knows how to dress to hide weight. What will I look like at 140? Will I look great? Or will I have tons of loose wrinklyskin ...
Once upon a time I was not an organic food fan. I thought it was expensive, and it is, if you don't know what you're doing. A heart attack, stroke, diabetes is even more expensive so I started going for the good stuff. You don't have to pay a lot of money, you just have to learn to shop smart. Use coupons, join mailing lists, and keep a sharp eye out. It's time to start paying attention to what you're putting in your body. Garbage in is certainly GARBAGE OUT. You're killing yourself eating all that proce...
