anything kelly clarkson!

I’ve been apart of this for almost a year. I know what you're feeling. There are days you can conquer the world and days the world conquers you. I think in all honesty, you need to be realistic. Start simple. For example, go to the gym 4 times a week for 45 mins. Or save dessert for one night a week (on other nights have a…

snack all day. I felt the same way, once upon a year ago. I found that eating little mini meals or snacks really helped. it also slaps your metabolism in the face! Double bonus

bettern butter instead of peanut butter delicious and 1/2 the cals...so you can eat 2 x as much!

agreed second and yes i love it! I work out pretty hard so my rest days are filled with yoga. i just need to be doing something for me and that 60 or so mins of gym time is the most selfish, self indulgent, lovefest of my day!

Ok....so Before I took a job in Los Angeles I signed up for a 1/2 marathon. I swore I was going to do it. I was going to run and started training mid January. Then in august I headed west and the training stopped. For five weeks I did nothing but work 7 day weeks for 18 hr days. I was unhealthy and miserable. My father…

love it! are you for real?

the 1/2 i'm doing is September 14th in chicago. You really only need to be able to run 2 miles and have 12 weeks....there are online schedules to follow YOU CAN DO IT!

Friends and fabulous runners I am sorry I have been so missing in action allow me to clarify My job ended (summer for teacher) My family's house is under water so I headed north to help (Midwest rain is really hitting hard) But I have still been running and I am still going to do the 1/2 I'm up to 7 miles. I have a week…

I love a classic I would go ford Thunderbird in that robins egg blue HOT

Disclaimer: I believe talking about things gets rid of emotions So today... I'm sore from three days of butt kicking at the gym (excuse) The school I taught at for two years has "bumped" my position meaning I had to leave my babies and take a position at a new school (these students are literally my world) I'm butt over…

you lost the olsen twins! Congrats

Ok, so before I decided to admit I was thinking about a halfer, I got to 6.25 (10k). For the record that took me 6 months. Recently though it has been more natural and with that comfort came the idea of, “Wait a minute I could do 12 of these if I wanted!” It is suggested you can run 3miles to start training. The training…

Big news here! Big news! I just registered to run a 1/2 marathon! September 14th is the day. I will need you all now more than ever. Real nervous…real excited…real scared

The best is when it comes from a disgruntal 9 year old. "Miss G I finin' to get my momma to pop yo *kitten*!" "Well thank you Raekwon, now may I suggest you sit down and learn?"

Lisa keeps slipping past...I am not a fan either

I bring a towel and that allows me to forget for just a moment that a liquid is pouring down my face.

This season is amazing because its in my home city CHI TOWN! I love watching and seeing my neighborhood or my favorite restaurants. Its great having that personal connection..I feel famous by association. The food always blos my minds. I love how they look at a veggie and make a dish fit for a king. Question: How do you…

I noticed your profile says you're 19. What makes me nervous is that you should be developing a healthy understanding of food at this point in your life. If you dont you will be yo-yoing the indefinitly. With that in mind I would stick with meals preparred by you. take your time...healthy isnt a race

In all honesty I learned that I can do anything I put my mind to. I know this sounds like the largest slice of American cheese but I really believe it. There is nothing harder than loosing weight. You really have to shift all sorts of habits and as a result you learn so much about the human body and spirit. This has taken…

I disagree on one account Cliff bar makes 100 cal bars. I usually hate the 100 cal packs but the cliff bar is the perfect snack form work pre gym. I also break it up and put it my yogurt...heaven. I agree the packs of 100 cals are usually filled with fake foods, flavors and lies.

I call those arms Oprah arms. Or the delay wave. After you wave goodbye they keep on saying it for you.

So good! I love these!

Atleast we are on the same side.... I can appreciate her p.o.v. but for me education is where its at. I just love his mindset around education

I am as happy as a kid on Christmas

It happens in phases. You cant change your life style in a single night. You are taking the steps and making the realizations in the right direction. You can do this!

I too love a protein shake. Its great for a post gym recovery. I mix in some flax seed and 1/4 cup blueberries and a 1/4 dannon light & Fit vanilla yogurt. Slap a few ice cubes...heaven. Its a great way not to snack while making dinner.

our joke is i will dress her like a super hero and push her through public settings when shes older.

I already allotted the calories. I knew what I was doing. Yes she is my mother. yes I respect her. yes i know the older she gets the crazy she gets. my reaction was: I gave her "the face"...the you disappoint me face. She knew she was wrong. no comments or sarcastic bites were needed. truth: I think what really got me was…

I set a goal of running a 1/2 marathon by then end of summer. This keeps me very focused. I also picked up a 6 week job.
