Lessons for My Inner Fat Girl
I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I come from a family where healthy eating was never a thought and where my mother uttered these famous words on a continuous basis, “What, do you have sugar fear? Add a few more cups to that Kool-Aid” and “Fat-Free, I want all my fat right [...]
MagnoliaGirl Week 3 Weightloss Chronicles
rd I’m running, trying to make 100 because 99 and a half won’t do… Two people said health related things that affected me this last week, one related to the WW plan and the other to exercise. My WW leader is fond of saying, if you work the plan, it will work. I clearly slacked last week [...]
BerryBella Week 3 Weightloss Chronicles
I knew it was coming. D-day otherwise known as diet day. For the next 3 months I would be limited to low fat high quality food. So the week before D-day I went for it. Popeye’s fried chicken – dark meat. Turkey burger with cheese. Philly cheesesteak with waffle fries. And ice cream every night. [...]
Starting Over Week 3 Weightloss Chronicles

UnconventionalFaith Week 2 – Weightloss Chronicles
Honestly, this past week was not off to a great start for me. I am studying for a highly stressful exam (MCAT), which Iam taking soon (wish me luck!). So, to cut a long story short, I did not stick to my diet plan.
I am not trying to use this as an excuse, but really, [...]

CarolinaBelle Week 2 – Weightloss Chronicles
Blog Entry Week 2, August 24
I made it through Week 2 of Couch Potato to 5K (C25K) rather easily. This week was three 20-minute workouts of 90 seconds of jogging followed by 2 minutes of walking. It’s a rather slow start and I want to push for more. Right now, I’m running outside because the [...]
Week 2: NYLA Southerner’s Weight Loss Journey
It’s week 2 and boy what a week it has been. . .
It seems like my life manifest in my eating. When things are going well, I eat well– more healthy. When things are going not so well, then my eating is the first thing that falls apart (with exercising a close second). [...]
StartingToday: Starting Again: Week Two (Weightloss Chronicles)
The week started out with more of the same as last week. On Monday, I tried to stay within my allowable calorie range, but I’m not sure that I did. While I LOVE SparkPeople, I get tired of the constant logging on and off to track any and everything that I eat. So, what I [...]
Week 1 CapCityKid (Weightloss Chronicles)
As I believe I mentioned before, I love food. Love, love food. I love the whole process of preparing food. Whether that means baking, grilling, boiling or sauteing… I love it. And then I love to indulge in food, savor the familiar tastes and learn and identify new and food items [...]

Slow and steady is going to have to win this race…

Okay. My journey into the running world was bumpy to say the least. As a refresher, I’m training for a 5K using a beginner’s regimen, From Couch Potato to 5K. There are several versions available online, but the one I’m using calls for 20-30 minutes of running/jogging/walking at least three times a week. The plan [...]

Week 1 – NYLA Southerner (Weighloss Chronicles)
This week was the start of the weight loss challenge. Boy did this challenge hit me like a ton of bricks adding to my laundry list of “to dos”. However, I said I was going to do this and by creating a lifestyle change in the way I eat and incorporate exercise into my life [...]
