Weight Loss
- Set physical challenges, not just scale ones. Some examples are 10,000 steps a day for 5 days and first to get there wins a prize. Couch to 5K program. Exercise 3x a week, etc.
- Eat an apple a day to keep the weight away (high fiber).
- Cut out liquid calories such as wine, soda, juice and coffee.
- Reduce carbohydrates.
- Fat Secret or other on-line journal system.
- Active Lifestyle for breakfast.
- Increase your fiber.
- Drink a gallon of water a day. Lime or Lemon in it helps the flavor.
- Get your spouse on board and supportive.
- Wear a pedometer and increase your target steps each week by 500 steps until you are consistently 10,000 steps or above.
- Wii Fit, Sports Active and Zumba
- Substitute healthy snacks.
- Eat Popsicles for dessert instead of high calorie sweets.

Weight Loss Weigh In ~ #NSnation
My weight loss weigh in for 1/9/2012 to 1/15/2012. I have sworn off alcohol for 30 days. People keep asking me why and ultimately it comes down to more than one: I don’t need the calories. I felt like with the holidays I was drinking all the time. It is a depressant. Drunk is even…

FREE 24 Hour Fitness Pass (7-day)

Weight Loss ~ Empty the Trunk #NSnation
My weight loss weigh in for 10/25 to 10/30. Running Program Not much to report. Actually nothing to report. I didn’t do even one day of Couch to 5K this week. I wasn’t a complete slacker with exercise though. While I was at Devil’s Thumb Ranch on Sunday and Monday, I took an hour long…
Weight Loss – Empty the Trunk Update
Running Program I only finished one day of Couch to 5K this week – BUT that day was jogging 21 minutes straight! No breaks. I was so impressed with myself. It’s amazing to think that just a few weeks ago jogging 60 seconds straight was difficult. Lesson learned – your body responds very quickly to exercise….
Weight Loss
Running Program I finished 3 days of Couch to 5K (Week 6) this week. I thought that I would repeat Couch to 5K – Week 5 because I couldn’t get through the 20 min jog in Day 3 without taking a break. But when I peeked at Week 6, I found out that it goes back…
