Based On A True Story

A while ago I signed up on Yes.Fit for a virtual race called The Tortoise Creep.  It was 155.1 miles long.  The idea was that you log your workouts and earn a medal.  I like tortoises so I picked this […]

Yesterday I talked about wanting to tell more people about the products that helped me lose weight.  When you sign up to be able to sell products, they tell you to have a party and invite your friends.  That would […]

Back in April I went to a party that a coworker was throwing for Arbonne.  I’d never heard of the company but I went to be supportive.  The company has several lines of products including skin care and nutrition.  At […]

You know the fitness saying, “Don’t weigh yourself. Focus on how your clothes fit”? I tried that. When I noticed my clothes getting tight I weighed myself and that’s how I found out I gained 30 lbs without noticing. What […]

Back on April 17, I wrote about starting the Arbonne 30 Days to Healthy Living challenge. I was stuck at a weight I didn’t like and I couldn’t get under.  I was ready to do something radical. Now, a month […]

I’ve been sitting at a plateau weight for months now.  There is a number I just can’t get under. I bounce around about 5 lbs above it but never get less.  This isn’t because I’ve lost so much weight that […]

I have been doing Facebook fitness challenge groups.  I’m in my second month.  The idea is that you have a group of people who post three things every day: A post-workout selfie A picture of a healthy meal they ate […]

I’ve always had mixed feelings about the body positivity movement.  On one hand, you shouldn’t hate your body and obviously you can look amazing at any size. On the other hand, being fat is hard on your body. On your […]

Molly, who used to hang around here but now we are Facebook friends, sent me a test workout video a while ago.  I liked it.  It was a combination of lifting and cardio. I decided to sign up for BeachBodyonDemand.com […]

I’ve heard of people tracking how far they run/walk on a map to see your distance this year.  That’s cool if you run to Brazil or something but at my rate I’d spend a month just trying to get out […]

  I haven’t done a Reader’s Workout post in forever.  I’m pretty happy with my fitness routine right now though so I thought I’d update. I signed up for Strong by Bret.  This is a monthly service that gives you […]

What I’ve Learned While Watching the Weightlifters at the Olympics I’m a Superheavyweight woman If I lost enough weight to be down to my imaginary mental ideal weight and then lost a little bit more, I might still be a […]

I don’t run.  I have no desire to ever run a marathon.  But, I’ve been a race spectator since birth.  My father was a cross country coach until I was five.  Some of my earliest memories are cheering on the […]

Can you tell what days I was sightseeing on vacation? Our high was over 20,000 steps and our low was 11,000. That’s 6-9 miles a day. I’m surprised it was that little. Then I got home and my fitbit died. […]
