Self-Defense for (Stockton, CA women)
For my women who live in Stockton, CA, I am having a Women’s Self Defense event at my home on Saturday, Dec. 8th @ 1:00PM. We will learn about ways to protect ourselves and be able to purchase self-defense items (i.e. stun guns). The reason why I feel this is so important to have is b/c the holiday season is upon us, many…

Any Stockton Women Interested in Starting a Walking Group?
I was thinking of something small....a early Saturday or Sunday morning walking group for one hour. Of course we wouldn't walk when it's raining, but what do you think? Send me a message if you're interested or just post here. Tara

I'm getting there
I think most of us need to realize that it took years for us to gain this weigh, so there's really not a quick overnight pill that will help us lose and maintain it. I'm taking it one day at a time and my first challenge was to get a goal and work towards it. My goal is my wedding on April 7, 2012. I want to lose 54lbs. I…

Kicking it in high gear
Ok, I have approx 23 more days before my reunion and I'm kicking it in high gear. I plan to do at least 1 1/2 of cardio daily, watch what I eat, (I don't like to say diet), and work on my abs daily. Hopefully, I will have lost the 10lbs I want by March 5th. Keep your fingers crossed for me. :smile:

Super Bowl Party
Sunday, I hosted my first Super Bowl party - it was a small group (approx. 10 ppl) and mostly women who didn't know a thing about football. I did eat, but since I was the host, I didn't eat that much b/c I was running around and figured all the house cleaning I did before the party equal at least 500 calories. Well, I'm…

25 year reunion here I come
My 25th class reunion is on March 5th, so I have kicked my diet and exercise in high gear. My most problematic area is my belly. I currently weighs 180lbs, but no one believes me - they think I weigh much less. Now my waist is 41 1/2. I know how to hide my problem area (e.g. no white T-shirts, no blouses tucked in, and…

School Reunion
Ok, March 5th is my Jr. High School Reunion - so it's the 26th reunion. Wow! Well anyway, it's nothing too fancy, just a bowling party/get-together. So, I really focus now. I want to lose 10lbs before that date, so I will keep you guys updated. Wish me luck! Tara

Discipline
I think the key to weight lost is discipline. I tend to be an emotional eater. A few days ago, I let something get to me and before I knew it, I had eaten approx 1/2 bag of pretzels. BUT I'm not going to stop, so I just took my cardio up to the next level.

New Year's Resolution
I'm not making any New Year's resolutions regarding dieting, weight, etc. I'm just taking it week by week, my goal is to lose 1 pound a week and I am doing it by eating healthier and just moving. Any type of movement is good b/c our bodies were designed for movement. Tonight, I'm going to start packing up Xmas decorations…

Stress Eating
Ok, got a ticket a few months back, so had traffic court yesterday. Walked out of court w/ a $500+ bill. So, I went home and ate a few pieces of sweet potato pie. Afterwards, I felt guilty and tried to sleep my depression away. Not good...sweets and then sleep. Oh well, I'm going to use yesterday as my cheat day. I'm…
