2012 COMMITTMENTS - What are yours?
Many people mention New Year resolutions. Personally, I don't believe in them as most don't follow through. For me, I consider what might be committments - which are personal promises and promises in my world absolutely should not be broken. It means creating a plan of action, step by step, and following through. Mine are:…

Why Not Why (Brain) Challenge
I just made a blog post and decided that I needed to make it a challenge. Here's the preface: The answer to any why question can be and is always: because. Not much of an answer. Try reframing. Following is an example: Why am I not losing weight? Because. (What's the reason I'm not losing weight is also a "because" answer,…

work & logging
I just started working again after years of school - was easy to get online in classes; not so much in a classROOM. Plus after years of homework, studying and writing - I'm spending the majority of my evenings/weekends with my family & friends. I'm finding it difficult to find the right "groove" and continue logging. It's…

Weekly Fitness Goals - Accountability
I'm finding that posting my daily burns and then a full week total is really helping me be accountable (on a team challenge). Even after the challenge is over, I want to keep doing this and I'm hoping someone else might be interested in joining me. This is what it looks like: Sun: 7/31/2011 - 208 Mon: 8/1/2011 - Tues:…

My eyes will physically close of their own accord no matter how much I fight it,…

Find your flower
People say "find time to smell the flowers/roses" as a way to indicate finding appreciation in the every day, little things that can make you happy. My flowers are: @)--,--'- I have two: although this is redundant for alot of folks, I made a pot rack last night (in profile pics) and I'm so so so happy that it turned out…

Today is Friday and I desire: To get through my reading fast enough to spend some fun time with my son. To do *something* productive in my house (I don't have a set plan yet).

Things that motivate me when I'm getting too tired to keep g
1) I put my hands on my thighs to feel the beginnings of muscles moving.. omg! THERE'S MUSCLE IN THERE! who knew. not I. 2) I yell at myself outloud - but only if I'm home alone. I think the fitness instructors at my gym would feel very put out if I started yelling "C'mon! What's another 2 minutes! You got this! Push…

bad posture=weak core & vice versa
I have just remembered for the zillionth time that if your core is weak, you're more prone to bad posture (slouching); if you have bad posture, you probably have a weak core. At least, this is what is so for me. Ergo, I am trying trying trying to remind myself to keep my belly button tucked in **especially** during a…

Today I am grateful for...
Today is Wednesday and I am grateful for: My best friend, for helping me learn something new that is and will make my life better. The sunshine and breeze. MFP friends who keep supporting me even though I've been flat on my @$$ for a while. My step-mom - who somehow, without meeting me in person ever, still knows me so…

Just Wanna' Be Me!
Okay.. one of my MFP friends just told me the saddest thing and it's something I've read/heard alot in posts from others ....and that is people not getting consistent positive support of the RIGHT kind. People feeling shuttered out of their own lives because no one around them "gets it" - whatever "it" might be. And it's…

Are We Built to Run Barefoot? (Article)
A friend of mine sent this to me and I copied and pasted it. I hope this is useful for some folks. I'm not a runner (although I've tried a few times) so I can't vouch for anything. I'm just sharing.

What's your desire today?
A friend of mine does this every day on her FB page. What a great way to be self-motivating!

Sadness & Fraud
Just so everyone here is aware: I got duped by a seller on Ebay. Had to happen sometime, I suppose. :-( Found TurboFire for a grand discount - $45 for the whole kit! WOOHOO!!! Yeah. Got an email from Ebay today that the user has been removed for breaking policy. There's probably a dozen similar postings still there. So..…

Women - OB/GYN question
Loestrin24FE pill taker - for a couple of years. This last week, out of the blue, mid-way through my pack I'm cramping a tad, feeling a little bloated, you know.. the usual symptoms.

Little NSV (my first)
I made a long post on another thread earlier today regarding my own experiences and struggles, with the hope that I'd soon make a break through... well, I've had one. A little one. I haven't used my shred DVD in quite some time and certainly not with any consistency, but I recently joined a gym and have been attending a…

1.5 years (+/-) and what I've learned about ME
I'm putting this here because I'm hoping it'll help someone else - even if it's just one person. When I was an early teen, I struggled with weight. Then, someone too close to me made fun of me. I stopped eating. For 2 weeks. I was 13. I lost 20 lbs. But I still saw myself as fat. Any confidence I might have had was…

Urban Gardening
Everything grown is chemical free, pesticide free, and grown by me - in my side yard by my a/c unit (because that's the side that gets the most sun). The tomato was picked yesterday, the zuccini today and the greens are hit & miss except the pea pods. Those are done and in the freezer. I got another handful before the…

Zumba - Calories burned approximation
I know this question has been going around and gets asked alot - so I figured out that if a 150 lb person burns 800 cals in 1 hour, I probably burn about 700 cals (136) per hour which breaks down to 70 calories every 10 minutes. This is not a precise number but probably a fair ESTIMATE. Hope this is helpful to all those…
