  • This week marks the completion of my program and I signed up for my first 5K run!! SUPER EXCITED!!

  • Running 20 solid minutes now!! Feeling amazing... only 5 more sessions to go, bumping up a few minutes at a time until I reach 30! Admittedly, some days have been easier than others but I have NOT skipped a single day since starting this program nearly 2 months ago. For those of you just beginning.... it does get easier!!…

  • In addition to changing your approach to meals, think about other ways you can keep yourself "full". I find that fiber or protein water mixes are both low in calories, taste delicious, and help you get through until your next snack. I bet you can find them at your local grocery store!

  • I have this problem too!! I never actually broke my tailbone... but very severely bruised on a snowboarding trip. Couldn't sit normally for three months... lol (i am sure you know how that goes) I would suggest some sort of "standing abs" routine. I think the CRUNCH dvd series has a few, so does Jazzercise. What about…

  • I highly recommend the namaste yoga series by Kate Potter. Her DVD has short 20-25 minute routines that used to be aired on FitTV... and I love it! The sessions always start out with a nice warm up, and the poses are well instructed throughout the series, with modifications shown based on your range of flexibility. Each…

  • Yes!! It sounds like you have the right attitude this time around, and YES you CAN DO IT!! I have a similar story... long years of hating how I looked and felt like a fat cow... and it was time for a change!! Just realize that you need to make changes in small increments, and you won't see results overnight, but THEY WILL…

  • For me, I do best if I eat a SMALL snack about an hour, hour and a half before my workout and wash it down with a bottle of water. I usually go for a few protein bites (powerbar), a small piece of fruit or a few carrots/celery sticks... basically anything small that will get u through the workout without dying. I know that…
