Still having a good week . . . couldn't resist, so I weighed myself and found I've lost 5 pounds already. It's always fast and easy the first week. Have a nice weekend!
I love my iPhone!

Intriguing iPhone app lets your photograph your meals
I get a lot of email from people who want me to talk about their products or websites. Frankly, I delete most of them. But this one talked about an iPhone app called Thin-site. The app lets you take photos of everything you eat. So, it's kind of like journaling your food intake, only by phot...
No kidding! Like an entire family . . . including teenagers!

Do you ever eat at Claim Jumper?
I've only eaten there once or twice. I remember mostly how huge the portions were. So, it's no surprise, really, that the calorie-count is high. Right? Still. Full disclosure can ruin a dining experience when you understand exactly what you're consuming. Claim Jumper . . . I'm scared to e...
Yum! Thanks for the link!

Chop-Chop Chicken in Lettuce Cups
The PR people from SELF sent me a link to this recipe: Chop-Chop Chicken in Lettuce Cups. It looks delicious, don't you think? That is all. Carry on.

I dont want her to think of food as good or bad. I dont want her to think of being on a diet at her age.
Thats all.

Don't pass it along
My 7-year old daughter and I stopped by Target to buy some playing cards for soldiers, our contribution to boxes our church is sending to our military members in Afghanistan. I had a cold and wanted to pick up something I could easily cook for dinner for my family, so we detoured into the food ...
Thats when I stopped doing Couch to 5K . . . I couldnt take the rain. I know they say there is no bad weather, only bad clothing, but . . . I apparently dont have the right clothing. I could not take that!
My foot is healed, though, and my cold is getting better and Im going to start walking again outside (on the loopy, hilly trail). Cant wait!
Hope you get back into the groove somehow. Sometime.
Take care!

I finished my first week
My exercise streak is well underway, even though I've been exercise-bike riding instead of running/walking. I have stayed up too late--I work until at least midnight and it's unfortunately common to look at the clock and realize it's almost 2:00 a.m. So I've napped after taking my daughter to sch...
Good for you, Nicole!

Exercise Streak: Day Four
Before Christmas I abandoned my Couch to 5K training program. I intended to start over today. Today, however, was a grim, gray, rainy day. I considered riding my exercise bike instead but some lunatic part in my brain told me it would be fun to be outside. Furthermore, it probably wasn't as ...
Allie,
How do you like the Wii Fit workout? Im considering getting that game since our Wii has been repaired and is in my bedroom!

Cricket! Im not alone! I really felt like the only person struggling with rain, wet feet, soggy iPhone and saggy pants! So ridiculous!
I should be thankful that the weather warmed up . . . when I started this last month, it was below twenty here which is unusually cold. But no. Im just despising the rain instead of being grateful its not freezing!

I'm eating less!
I am eating less. I am. I'm reading this book, Eating Less: Say Goodbye to Overeating and it's really helping me. (Someone here recommended it to me.) I have read a dozens of books about diet and nutrition. I've read Geneen Roth's books about "feeding the hungry heart." I've read countles...
I run outside on the road. And the program I use has a voice that says, Run. Walk Cool-down. It makes it super simple!

Couch to 5K . . . still on track!
I completed my second week of Couch to 5K. And I did not eat a dozen cookies to celebrate. Hooray, me! I'm a little worried about next week . . . can I really run for longer than 90 seconds at a time? Only time will tell. Have a great weekend!

Oh, I understand that! It was really cold this morning . . . Im just happy that it hasnt rained yet on one of my scheduled running days!

Monday morning
So, today starts my second week of Couch to 5K. This running program is only three days a week and, at least for the first two weeks, only thirty minutes a day. Easy, right? After the first day, I was sore in places I haven't been sore in a long, long time. After the third session, only my r...
MB, good for you!
I know I keep raving about this Couch to 5K app, but its so easy to use with the beeping and instructions in my ear.
Now, go print out your info and put it in your . . . gym shoes. Youll be all set next time!
Good luck!

I started the Couch to 5K program yesterday. I feel how I imagine an 87 year old feels, all rickety and sore and achey. However, I know I will feel better soon and tonight I am going to ride my exercise bike--I plan to do that on days I don't run. Also? I did ten pushups and so my upper body hurt...
Hang in there!
I feel kind of crazy running at my current weight, but hopefully . . . I wont be at this weight forever!

Dear Oprah, Thank you for staying fat. I'm sure you aren't doing it just for me, but it does make me feel better to know that you haven't been able to get the weight off--again--and that even all your media power and bajillion dollars does not mean easy fitness and slim health. Love, Mel who...
