Wrong side of the bed?
So, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, and because of that, I had to have a heart to heart conversation with someone. It went something like this: Brain: "It's been awhile since you've exercised." Body: "But I haven't been sleeping well. I'm tired!" Brain: "But you know you'll feel better if you just get…

Breakfast smoothies
I have about 8 pounds left to shed, and it's just refusing to come off. I exercise on a regular basis (about a week and a half away from finishing Insanity), so I'm pretty sure it's my nutrition that's holding me back. Lunch and dinner I do alright with (most of the time), but my breakfasts need an overhaul, so I was…

Considering P90X Looking for opinions
Okay, P90X users. I'm considering investing in this program, but I'm not at an extremely high level of fitness, yet. Does that matter? Are the workouts gonna kill me? Just looking for opinions. :-)

Trying to kick the habit
The diet soda habit, that is! I told myself that when I started to shed a few pounds that diet soda was the one treat I was gonna keep for myself, even though I know it's not any healthier than regular soda. But I realize that diet soda might be hindering my efforts. So, I'm gonna do an experiment and not drink any for a…

How do you push yourself?
I just finished a new setting on my elliptical trainer (sweat is still running down my face as I write this LOL). I normally do the fat burn setting, but it was getting too easy, so I tried the interval setting. Ho...ly crap!!! It was tough! But I'll be honest, even though I'm still huffing, puffing, and sweating, I FEEL…

Anybody out there sing during their cardio?
I DO!!! I have found that if I sing I can control my breathing much easier. That way I'm not dying at the end of my workout! LOL I exercise at home, so I sing out loud. Does anyone else sing, either to themselves or out loud? What do you sing to? One of my favorites is The Beatles. Lots of great vocals and the higher the…

Hello
Hello everyone! I am new to this site, even though I'm not new to weight loss. I lost 57 pounds and have managed to keep most of it off. However, about 10 pounds have crept back on over the last 4 years, and I'm none to happy about it. It's time for that weight to come off. So, in addition to a program I'm already…
