  • I used to run a LOT... but stopped. I'm trying to figure out how to get back on the wagon now, and want to ease back into it with a treadmill walk/run to get a fair view of just how much cardio I've lost.

  • Lately, I've been having some success thinking about what I do enjoy (that's healthy) and running with it! So I'll spot healthy choices within my log that I wound up enjoying WAY more than I originally thought I would and incorporating those choices more & more into daily life. Examples include things like: walking to…

  • If I have a busy week (with work or fun stuff), sometimes 6am is the only time left where I can fit a workout in! And oddly enough, remembering the effort it took to get that workout in keeps me from overdoing it or over-indulging later on (which frankly-- I did NOT think would be the case).

I feel like drinking that much water over the course of a day would very literally have me running back & forth to the bathroom instead of having a productive work day. No clue if this will help... but here are a couple…

  • It's been a brutal workweek & I've been lazy. So I picked a favourite vegetable (this week = red pepper) & a favourite fruit (9 times out of 10-- an apple), supplemented with part of a cucumber. Chopped that stuff up into relatively bite-sized pieces and threw them on a plate to eat while I work. + a protein source (today…
