Encouragement from Friends
On Apr 09, 2012
I posted my before and after photos on Facebook last night and the response has been overwhelming. Friends and acquaintences have been so very kind, thoughtful, and encouraging with their comments. I feel even more motivated and inspired to keep going! -
Happy Easter!
On Apr 08, 2012
Happy Easter! My mom and I have been doing Weight Watchers together. Regularly I would bring bring candy for the holiday, but this year I brought a flower coursage to her instead. Mom seemed to really like it! -
Final Weigh In
On Apr 07, 2012
I had my final weigh in for the Transformation Nation challenge today. In the past 6 months I have lost 29.8 pounds! I have so much more energy and I feel really good about all of the changes I have made. -
Walk to Work
On Apr 06, 2012
I walked to work this morning! From door to door it took me 50 minutes. This meant I had to get up earlier, but I feel like I can do anything if I can walk the 4 miles to work. It was a bit chilly, so I need to make sure I dress better for the weather next time. -
CSAs
On Apr 05, 2012
I've been looking at CSAs (Community Sponsored Agriculture) groups lately. There is a nice variety in my area, but I think I would waste alot of the food. I think it will be best for me to go to the farmer's markets instead this summer to buy only what I need. -
Strength Training Adjustment
On Apr 04, 2012
I've started incorporating balance into my strength training. Balancing on one leg during some of the exercises makes it surprisingly more of a challenge. I can't balance very well, but I know I will improve with practice. -
Chinese Food
On Apr 03, 2012
We decided to order chinese food tonight which is one of my weaknesses. Formerly I would have ordered General Tso's, fried rise, and an egg roll. Tonight I had steamed veggies and chicken with a little bit of brown rice. -
Water Craving
On Apr 02, 2012
My body is definitely craving water now. I went a little too long without enough fluids and started to get a headache. Shortly after rehydrating I felt alot better! Water is so much better than the diet soda. -
Longer Run
On Apr 01, 2012
I ran for an hour today to make up for yesterday. I am a sweaty hot mess! Using the incline on my treadmill makes all of the difference. I think my body was getting adjusted to my running, so it was time to up the ante. I am using a 5 elevation level right now in intervals.
