Need to lose weight to fit into workout gear??
I went to the store today to buy workout gear (moisture wicking, low chafing, supportive stuff), mostly to motivate me to workout a bit more. I took about 6 articles of clothing into the dressing room to determine what size I would need to buy. Well, I figured out what size I would need to buy, but also found that I would…

In need of motivation....or drill sargeant...

Maybe I need friends that will say to me.."hey, why didnt you workout today?" If you are a no nonsense person that will keep me accountable, i urge you to send a friend request.…

NSV....sort of...
So today one of my classmates told me she was worried about me. I asked why. She said she can see my cheekbones and is worried I am sick! I told her no, I am not sick. She asked if I was trying to lose weight then, because she can really see a weight loss in my face. Now, I lose weight in my face first (thats where I gain…

Awesome snack that does double duty as breakfast!
Chocolate Cheerios and Peanutbutter Cheerios combined. (have both in the house so of course, my 8 year old son and I had to try them together) It was awesome. Kinda upset that the bowl is empty...... break down and eat more?......or step away?......

iFIT workouts
Is anyone familiar with the iFit workouts? Do you get a good workout from them? They can be used in my elliptical at home, but I dont want to spend the money if they aren't worth it. The demo card that came with the elliptical doesn't go into a workout too much. Just curious if anyone uses them, and if they like them.…

Silly NSV
I have a pair of size 14 jeans on, up, buttoned and zipped. (i am parading them in front of my son and dogs) Nevermind that I absolutely could NOT wear them out in public yet (theres a monstrous roll present haha). I couldnt even get these jeans up over my thighs 40 days ago. Let alone think about zipping them. I'm happy.…

Need advice...substitute for P90X Yoga X
Okay, So I need advice. I am not a Yoga person. I have not the coordination, nor the patience to do it. While I can see where it would benefit me to do it, I just cannot muster through it. I am in Phase 2 of P90x and have substituted cardio x for the yoga in phase 1 (I did it in week 1, but could not bring myself to go…
