Man I didn't realize how long I was gone. Almost a week since I have posted anything. Last week I went to lunch with a friend, I think I blogged about this, and we discussed diet. Mostly discussed carbohydrates. And since then, I have been addicted…
Standing ab work is becoming very popular. I know that is the basis for Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs workout, and I've seen it in a lot of other programs too. I actually like doing the standing abs, but I've started doing the really simple contracting the…
I like to do standing ab work. I have lately been trying to keep my abs engaged all day long. After my 30 minute lunch walk, I can feel a real burn!
Amy, love that show!! It is very inspiring. Tanie, let me know how the food goes, I might could use some recipes for the cats.
I started feeding my cats natural food a few months ago. I have not noticed any short term effects, but I am hoping I will see them living longer!
I love "You Are What You Eat"! The doctor is fairly strict, but she really gives people the wake-up call that they need to lead a healthier lifestyle. Very inspiring!
I don't know if you have seen this program "You Are What You Eat", its on BBC America, but I have become addicted to it. Every time it comes on, I start doing sit ups and push ups and such, because it makes me want to be healthier. I feel for these…
And, YES you CAN DO it!!!!!!
carbs are everywhere, you're right! While I don't think cutting them out completely is good, I definitely eat WAY less than I used to. (especially refined carbs)
So I took a mini-sabbatical, a mental check out, if you will. I just reached a point where I couldn't do it. I just couldn't do it. I was frustrated, I was worn out, I was unmotivated. Mostly, I didn't know if I even wanted to continue. So I went to…
I get pretty bored too. Just keep switching it up. As long as you're getting activity in, you're doing good!
I don't like working out either. But, I do it. Because it is what I want for my life. Period. And, I think switching it up is probably a good thing- then your body is always getting something new and never gets used to it!
It really helps me to follow Jillian Michael's advice at the beginning of any workout - which is to set your intention. Why are you going to push yourself for the next 1/2 hour or 45 minutes? I think once you have a specific focus in mind, it helps…
Good luck. If you ever need anything, this group will provide it. There are some great people here who will help you, support you and appreciate you. If I can do anything to help, just let me know! It's a great site. I'm glad I joined.

I'm still here....I think....
Man I didn't realize how long I was gone. Almost a week since I have posted anything. Last week I went to lunch with a friend, I think I blogged about this, and we discussed diet. Mostly discussed carbohydrates. And since then, I have been addicted to anything about healthy living. I have a standing appointment to watch "You Are What You Eat" on BBCAmerica. I even ordered two of Gillian McKeith's books, because I am so smitten with her techniques and advice. Oh, alright she is a bit gruff someti… Continue

You are what you eat!
I don't know if you have seen this program "You Are What You Eat", its on BBC America, but I have become addicted to it. Every time it comes on, I start doing sit ups and push ups and such, because it makes me want to be healthier. I feel for these people on this show, most of who are severely overweight. What Dr. Gillian McKeith does is lay out on a table a week's worth of food they consume to demonstrate what they ar… Continue

Back on the Wagon
So I took a mini-sabbatical, a mental check out, if you will. I just reached a point where I couldn't do it. I just couldn't do it. I was frustrated, I was worn out, I was unmotivated. Mostly, I didn't know if I even wanted to continue. So I went to lunch today with a college friend who is a fitness trainer and is in graduate school for health and fitness. If anyone could clarify things for me, it would be her.
And boy, did she clarify things for me.
We spent two hours over lunch discussing my… Continue

Exercise ADD?
I just wrote a blog on this on my fitness blog, but I wanted to examine it a bit more here. Does anyone else feel like they have exercise ADD? I cannot seem to keep interested in any sort of exercise program, so I keep switching up. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just frustrating, because I tend to get bored with a program-even my own-before I start to see any sort of results. I get bored, I get frustrated, I lose interest… Continue

Can I just blame Food Network?
Alright, I love watching Food Network. I mean, really love FN. I watch it all the time. I watch it so much I'm starting to believe that I have a FN "binge eating disorder." I visually binge on all this food and I think its making me fat. I mean seriously I will watch it and then feel so gulity for watching, and feel the need to relieve the anxiety with exercise. I don't want to cook or eat--I've already done so by watching--I just want to watch, savor.
Okay maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but… Continue

- I know this is a little delayed, but thanks so much for the comment! You're absolutely right, our egos get in the way a lot. I like your thinking, avoiding mirrors is a good idea. I can't even fathom the amount of time I've spent looking in the mirror pinching away this lump or that. They really should be done away with!

Emily Lieser said… - Thanks for the comment! I also seem to wait until I am really really hungry before I eat. I want to make sure I'm not just eating out of boredom or because it's time to eat. I only want to eat when I am actually hungry. But apparently I am not that good yet at judging whether or not I am hungry!

Maren said… - Carolyn...Just wanted you to know how much i appreciated your willingness to help me figure things out. That was so nice. TOM finally arrived after two weeks and Im thinking that it may have been late because I have been extremely active. I added running back into my spin and weight training routine. I think that may have been it. I didnt have specific cravings...I was just really hungry so I started eating more. I feel better and things are good. Thanks again!

Cindy M. said… - Thanks for your blog comment! Glad to hear that your body finally starts to agree with your mind when it sees bad food. I'm really looking forward to the day that the bad-for-me foods, aren't in the back of my mind!!!! :)
