fitmemom

Well, I just moved almost 800 miles and we are temporaily renting a much smaller place. I had to leave behind a stair stepper, weight bench, rack of free weghts, and a smith machine. I was able to bring my treadmill, a few weights, rx ball and some bands. In my opinion, there are a lot of factors in what you want to get…

I love my hubby's broad, hairy chest. If he had back hair, we'd have had a serious talk about it. The back hair, not a big turn on.

I put spinach in mine all the time! Its a great way to sneak in another serving of veggies!

Well keep up the great work on the giving up drinking if you felt the need. I remember those days of the late night after the bars close visits to the diners. I'm married, again, with children, again. A glass of wine is a treat for me a couple times a week, but at home it doesn't cause me to want to eat. I wish you the…

I don't always have the time to log in on the weekends. Honestly, I don't even get around to replying to you all fine people like I'd like. I will say, since I posted this at the beginning of the week, I really have felt so motivated from you all, thanks!!

I allready know who my enabler is...My husband. I probably do the same to him. I've known all along we should be encouraging each other in the other direction. He's trying to lose weight as well.

28 Pounds is awesome! I lost two and gained 'em back. That was weeks ago.

Well, ok Smith42, I'm fitmemom. Friend me!

With us, its making that meal the just a big part of the weekend. Its not like we don't go and do activities as a family.

I keep all that stuff here too. I teach my 5&6 yr. olds about eating healthy, but that crap my parents fed me is around here too. Old habits die hard. I think if it was just me, I wouldn't haven't in the house. Its hard too when you turn on the TV and see the "beautiful people" gobbling up processed junk on commercials…

I like being on the sight as well. Thanks to all who commented!

Sounds like you are doing a great job! Wish I had more time to run now that the weather is nice. At least I've got my treadmill. That, I can do early in the morning before sunrise while my kids are still sleeping.

Sorry not to have replied sooner. I get busy and forget to check. You are probably right about the numbers. Sometimes the calorie burn the site suggests for certain activities I feel may be off. I count my time working landscape maintenance and their definition is general gardening. Well, I do everthing from weeding,…

I've heard those yoga sessions and walking on days off being called "active rest" days. I personally don't see anything wrong about it. Listen to what your body tells you. I'm 47 years old and I have a hard time listening to my body. Me and this getting older thing don't get along at times.

I love running, outdoors when I can. Between HIIT intervals, and steady 6.0 to 6.5 mph I try for at least 15 miles a week. I also love to weight train, but right now only get in maybe a total of 60 minuites a week. Unless you count my job. When my husband needs my help with his retaining wall business, that can be a day of…

Oh great, I had two kids in my forties! I just turned 47. Right now I'm only dealing with my periods getting heavier and I'm kind of "swingy" in my moods.

I've read a little bit about tabata. On the treadmill?? Please tell me more.

Believe me, it is the best thing I ever did for myself. I quit the first time with the patch. That worked well, but started back up when I was going through a divorce. Then I got hypnotized back in 2000. Please only try to quit if you are really ready and you are surrounded by non smokers. After all these years I remember…
