My biggest victory was giving up sweets for Lent. I have a HUGE sweet tooth and didn't think I could do it. But I did. And for health purposes, it worked out nicely. Now I need to manage them back in my diet...

Maybe next time!! Love me some turbo kick. :happy:

Shout out to Terry Crabtree in Customer Support! He and his dad were walking after work on a beautiful day earlier in the week. "A body in motion stays in motion"! Way to go Terry!

KUDOS Ryan! Way to go! You got this Beka... :)

Jday56 (Is this Julie?) :) Just some encouragement... I found that I didn't really start noticing my energy levels change until a couple months into working out regularly. I found that once I started having a regular workout regiment, I was worn out so much that I slept better, which enabled me to have more energy through…

Julie, I think it's certainly a mind game. What has worked for me is having a cute refillable water container and finding a place that provides water that tastes good to me. (I don't typically like city water as I grew up on a well.) I have found if the water has ice or is really cold, I drink more. My husband had a…

Shout out to Beka for getting some employees started with Cross Fit! She's been excited about Cross Fit and has been able to share that enthusiasm and get others to at least try it! Way to go Beka! Also a Shout Out to Dorothy Douglass! You've shared that it's been hard getting started in working out consistently. I saw…

This is good! Thanks for sharing Beka! I have found chewing a piece of gum helps me too. Another trick I use is eating only at certain times. For example, I know I need to eat multiple times a day. I cannot eat three meals, I eat more like three meals with two small meals in between. I know I need to eat something around…

Hang in there Dorothy. It is a marathon...not a sprint. As you may recall, I have been working out for almost two years at least three days a week (if not 4 or 5). Only this year have I seen any weight loss. And I can solely contribute it to my diet. Working out certainly helps and is getting my heart healthy, toning my…

This also has been something I've dedicated a bit of time towards. In fact, it's gotten me to the point that I'm not willing to eat a bagel for example because of the caloric intake. I'm not willing to indulge in a bagel knowing I'd have to sacrifice elsewhere. I divided my calories up over the three meals (and two snacks)…

Heather, you're so right! The hardest part is starting. With each day of discipline, the easier it becomes. When I see results, I find motivation. But at the end of the day, I realize the only person that can make the change I want to see is me. It falls on my shoulders. No excuses...no blaming... I'm the one to blame. As…

Things have been going pretty well for me. I was nervous about my weigh-in this week because last Friday night I was here until 6:45 and so I picked up Cousin Vinny's pizza. Then, I ate out for breakfast and dinner Saturday. Sunday was the Super Bowl so I ate a little more than normal. To my surprise, I was down 2.5 lbs…

Honestly...for me it has been a lifestyle change. In the past, I'd get home from work, eat dinner and maybe do some things around the house. Now it's, work, work out, eat dinner and I've made a goal of doing one thing each night before I sit down to watch TV. So, I might clean the kitchen, sort through items, organize a…

Hi all! My story starts years ago. I was a competitive swimmer for 13 years. As a competitive swimmer you burn thousands of calories a day. Additionally, I was blessed with some decently high metabolism. After high school, I was burned out on swimming, so I didn't swim in college. Wow. What happened next was that I kept…
