I’m a regular Facebook user and enjoy reading my friends’ status updates and commenting on them. I enjoy the games and interaction and find it a great way to connect with people. I also enjoy having the opportunity to encourage and inspire my friends on their fitness journies. I even was able to enjoy a [...]
I just learned the other day that May is National Fitness Month! What a perfect time to let people know how important it is to eat right and exercise, and what better time could there be to have a challenge!
During May, we will be hosting a Biggest Loser contest on our Beachbody Message Board thread. [...]
It’s April and that means that we’re getting closer and closer to bathing suit weather again. It’s time to get back on track with working out and eating right if you’ve slipped off the wagon a bit, and we’re going to help you do it! Join us on our Beachbody Message Board thread for a [...]
I got this recently from a friend and thought I would share it here. These tips are wonderful little goals to reach for in our every day lives.
1. Live with the “3 E’s”: Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
2. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good. It’s definitely worth living to the fullest every day.
3. You’re on [...]
If you’ve been watching the videos I’ve done of my journey this week, you will know that there were days that I struggled with this diet, and days that I didn’t have any problems at all. It was a very up and down week emotionally for me. But now that I’m at the end, I [...]
So I’ve made it to lunchtime on Day 6. I had my snack of almonds this morning after my workout and got to work. I felt a few hunger pangs here and there, but nothing unmanageable. So I’m ready for the last lunch of my Six Day Slim Down Journey. Will you join me?
Breakfast was a little delayed this morning. I got busy on the computer and lost track of time. So here it is 9:30 and I’m pretty hungry. I’m having a chocolate protein shake this morning with a banana and cinnamon in it. I’ll be drinking it while I do some light resistance training using light [...]
It’s dinner time, and I’ve been looking forward to it all day. Why? Because we’re having omelets! Mike is going to cook us some yummy omelets with mushrooms, spinach and reduce-fat cheddar cheese. Why is this exciting, just because it’s different. I love omelets, and it feels good to switch around the menus a bit. [...]
It’s afternoon snack time, and I’m starving. In fact, I have to admit to cheating a little bit. I had to have a couple of dark chocolate kisses to get me to lunch, and then I had another one this afternoon, with a dab of peanut butter this time. I am rather surprised, however, to [...]
Lunch couldn’t come too soon today. Not only was I really hungry, but my energy level really fell because I needed the food to keep me fueled. When you start learning about nutrition and eating right, you learn that being tired and groggy came come not only from eating too many carbs and having a [...]
Although I hadn’t been feeling that hungry when I talked to you about breakfast, the hunger pangs crept up on me very quickly after that. I managed to hold off until 11:00 for my snack of almonds, however, since I want to be able to wait until 1:00 for lunch.
Today was breakfast on the run. I had to head to school first thing in the morning to volunteer, so I made a strawberry - banana protein shake and hit the road. I’m feeling very positive and determined today to see the rest of the week through - just two more days!
It’s time for dinner. All in all, it’s been a good day. I’m hungry but not ravenous at this point. We’re having a very filling meal of sirloin steak, broccoli and salad. I am happy to know that I’m over half-way done with the plan, and only two more days to go. I can do [...]
It was a gorgeous day, so Mike and I went out for a run/walk today. I didn’t want to push it too hard, since I’m not eating enough carbs for a good run, so we ran a bit and then walked. But not it’s time to eat. An interesting statistic for you - up to [...]
It’s lunch time already! The morning flew by because I was hard at work. I felt hungry on and off but I kept drinking my water to help stave off the hunger pangs. For lunch today, I’m having the typical salad that the plan calls for which means mixed greens, assorted veggies, lean protein and [...]
