NSV... or is it a SV...
I have not stepped on the scale in 8 full days!! This is huge for me as I was getting on it 1-2x a day... sometimes even more. I was getting frustrated with it, and finally told myself NO MORE!! Some people suggested having somebody hide it, or putting it in the trunk of my car so it wouldn't be there to tempt me. I…

Mental Games...
Running is and always has been a mental game for me. I hate it that I can run 5.7 miles in 52 minutes at a 9 min/mi pace with just one 5 min. walk... (so run pace may have been faster) and be just fine, but on race day I become weak minded and have to take 2 walk breaks and I finish in 32 minutes... for 3.1 miles. Anybody…

Something to think about
came across this today on Facebook.... thought it might help a lot of people on here. Fear of failure can be paralyzing. But surely you've heard “if your not failing your not trying”?

I am fabulous because.......
In my weight loss challenge class last week they reminded us to everyday say we are fabulous and give a reason. Whether it be you logged your food for a week, you drank more water, resisted temptation, or even just the fact that you are attempting to change your life around or maintain your current healthy lifestyle. So…

Not a fan of cheat days
I am not a fan of using the term "cheat days." It makes me feel like I am doing something wrong. We are taught from a very young age that cheating isn't right. What other terms do you use?

Pet Peeve
It drives me crazy when people say "muscle weighs more than fat." No it doesn't a pound is a pound!!!! Yes, by volume muscle weighs more than fat, that is why when you start to tone up you lose inches, but not necessarily pounds. Sorry... just a little pet peeve of mine.
