  • Inspiration and motivation will come and go. Determination and Commitment are what's needed. I found that exercise motivates me. So I sign up for marathons 6 months to a year in advance. In order to accomplish those bigger goals - then I establish small and medium sized goals. So for instance: I set goals of running 200…

  • Could I share with you a thought that I have discovered about motivation? Motivation only carries someone so far. This requires a long term commitment. For example, when you buy a new car, you might have 60 months of payments. Motivation might get you to the car lot. But you are going to need commitment to make that…

  • Yes, I was called Fat-Boy back in 2012 while running. I went on to lose 100 pounds through running. But even still, I still get heckled by teens every once in a while.

  • I eat a couple of pounds of kale each week. Add it as a primary salad base, and eat it raw. I also make a kale wrap and add kale to my eggs. I aint sure about the superfood label, but it was a significant part of changing my diet from poptarts and peanut butter to what it is now :)

  • Yes, and the last 3 years have been the best of my life! After I began counseling for an eating disorder, I was able to see how OCD and severe depression were all interconnected. I have been able to use faith, exercise, medication, and the renewing of the mind, all to absolutely turn my life around.

  • @Elise4270 "Isn't the flying pig one with bacon?" Im not sure, ran it before, and do recall big crowds, kids passing out redtwists and girl scout cookies. But dont recall bacon. It was one of my most favorite 2-3 marathons of the 25 I have done. Its a challenging course, but worth the effort.

  • I turn 50 next month, lost 100 pounds 3 years ago. I first tried adding exercise, but alone that did not work. I started counting calories and weighing out my portions. I was consuming far more than I thought I was eating. So I started eating less, and exercising more, and it all came off.
