Critique my diary?
OK. So, i'm a mom to an 18 month old girl and a doggy. I work mainly weekend nights as an Uber driver, I have a fairly sedentary lifestyle, lots of cleaning and cooking but, not a whole lot of miles logged. I try to go for a daily walk but, its probably more like 5x a week. Usually just about 2 miles. I've been fairly fit…

Accountability Idea....
So, I have this awesome idea for accountability. I'm really a great resource for work out/healthy eating ideas but, I am seriously lacking in the motivation department. I am looking for someone to help me with that. Preferably someone else who needs the same help. I had this great idea that if I HAD to tell someone every…

2012 Walking Group??
Anyone wanna have a walking group kinda thing? Like, where we compare distances, paces, or just motivate each other to get out there? I used to work out hard and right now, all I can find the love for is walking. I'm going to pick something else up soon but, I'm just not there yet. Right now, its about waking my dog. We…

How to start with weight training?
Okay, I'm cardio savvy but, I know that isn't all it takes. I lost a bunch of weight before (80+lbs) But my body was just smaller, still very very goopy. I want to do some weight training but, I don't know how. And I don't go to the gym so any equipment needs to be purchased. I need something easy to follow. Once I get…

Post card challenge 22
Happy Sunday everyone! It's a new week and time for a postcard challenge! bkrbabe57 sent me a fab postcard that I'm going to hang on my fridge as inspiration. Who wants one from the Sunny (occasionally) South Coast of Massachusetts? Glamarous, right?? I think we all know how this goes by now, but, we will recap. Post here,…

It's free today! I am not sure if everyone knows it but, if you download the Amazon App store for an android phone (I don't think iPhones get it yet), there is a free paid app every day. I think its random what it is. Today it happens to be Cardio Trainer Pro (normally $9.99) and its AWESOME! It tracks your workouts…

70 lbs down, 50 to go! with pics!
So, one of my more 'crass' coworkers came up to me the other day, and flashed me an old pic of myself (see below) and was like, "damn, you really were huge. look!", so, I made him email it to me and took a current one in work clothes as well for comparisson reasons. I flip flop between super motivated and big fat failure…

with regard to walking on the treadmill.....
what would be better, calorie burn wise, more incline or more speed? I am sick and am thinking of watching some shows i have missed over the last few days that i was just laying in bed dying. I have a no tv on the couch/in the bed rule. I have to watch them on the treadmill and normally i walk at a 3.2mph but, was thinking…

Almond joy anyone?
Okay, there was a post on here a while ago about delicious things to do to your oatmeal. I am Steel Cut Oatmeals cheerleader so, I was very interested. I just made some super delicious Almond Joy Oatmeal. I made my steel cut oats (not the quick cook kind, although I do that on days I work) and added to them a half a…

intentionally upping sodium intake
Okay, so please don't flame me a bout this. I eat pretty clean most of the time, i mean, not over the holiday weekend. I lost some solid weight this year and am looking forward to going mostly raw gradually over the course of this year. However, this opportunity presented itself to me this past weekend. My brother in law…

So, my work christmas party is tonight. I drink twice a year. Thanksgiving and the holiday party. So, I'm gonna splurge but, not in a super over the top way. My question is, whats the best low cal dirnk I can work out? I need to know early in the day so i can give myself calories for it and workout to offset it. :) I was…

I have got to find a program for strength training. I have lost a bunch of weight with cardio and hiit and now i have to tone up and lose some more (a bunch more actually,) and have ab stuff, and legg stuff but, need to tone and firm up my arms. They are just jigglerific. yuk. I don't want to make the investment but, I…

which do you prefer? running, hiit?
So, my husband and I are trying to spend more time together and he is not a fitness kinda guy and im hitting things hard right now and trying to shed some serious weight. We decided we should try to spend two days a week working out since he has a newfound love for running and wants to maybe foray into my little world. So,…

Bodybugg users idea?
So, I have a bodybugg and I love the crap out ofit. I LOVE that little results screen you get. I aim for a 1000 calorie deficit daily but, usually get just over that. On Friday I had a 2033 deficit and was so gassed that I had to copy and paste that screen into an email for my friend to see. Is there anyone who would want…

Upper Arm Workouts?
I have batwings. When looking back on my much earlier pictures, what I had were not arms but, actually, Ham HOcks with hands on them. It was awful how huge my arms were. Now, I think they may be more proportinate but, they are just gross hangy chickenflesh. HELP!! I'm doing plenty of cardio but, I don't know crap about…

Yoga Meltdown Calorie Burn?
Hmpfh. It isn't much. I mean, its decidedly better than nothing...I did it today as my first offical workout since getting back on the wagon. Using my BodyBugg, It burned 103 calories. Dressling my one year old burns 79 calories in the same amount of time. Figured I would share!

Starting Insanity Sunday 9-19
Anyone wanna join me? I've never been successful with an at home program but, its time. I don't have as much gym time as I used to and I need to get something done. I lost 53 LBS earlier this year and then just maintained for a while. I have around another 70 to lose. I'm thinking insanity is the way to go. So, come on…
