Summer challenge – success – yay or nay?

The summer solstice was yesterday, the only way to verify in the Northeast that it truly is summer because the weather is more fall like.. but I digress. My 100 days to summer challenge is officially over.. During those 100 days I lived my life as follows, give or take a few events: 40 +Continue reading “Summer challenge – success – yay or nay?”

Summer starts…..Now!

As I sat at the airport yesterday, these words flowed from me and I shared them in my different FB groups that all originated from Weight Watchers in one shape or form… 86400 seconds…one day…fleeting moments…what do we latch onto? Vacation is over..we’re at the airport waiting to board our plane. I’m choosing to leaveContinue reading “Summer starts…..Now!”

54 days until summer – Do my results match my efforts?

The scale was a rollercoaster this week.. which basically matched my emotions. Control what you can, that is what they tell us… simple right? I have definitely let outside forces impact my choices and my focus. I landed about a half pound heavier than last week, but truth be told, that is a gift. TheContinue reading “54 days until summer – Do my results match my efforts?”

70 days until summer…I am but human

So I was on a roll, in a rhythm, exercise – check, sleeping well – check, good food choices 80/20 – check; scale was down 3lbs and holding and then wham… life… and I face planted, literally and figuratively. Got an email my 7am #cko class was canceled and instead of going to another locationContinue reading “70 days until summer…I am but human”

100, make that, 78 days 2 summer… where I’m currently residing..

I know spring officially started a few weeks ago, but I am finally feeling it.. or at least my face is feeling it.. Sinus headache, allergies, migraine, not 100% sure but last night as I was playing with my grandson, I bent over to pick up the nerf basketball as he was squealing again, againContinue reading “100, make that, 78 days 2 summer… where I’m currently residing..”

100 Days 2 Summer – Take a look at me now…

There are video monitors at #cko that show pictures of members taking classes or posing with their 100 class shirts as well as a promo video filmed a few years back. Sometimes throughout class I will glance up and see myself staring back at me. That me with her fierce determination and wicked smile wasContinue reading “100 Days 2 Summer – Take a look at me now…”

Being honest with yourself

I’ve lost my mojo. She says startled in her best Austin Powers voice.. So here’s the thing.. my ability to force myself to do the things is currently on a roller coaster ride.. kickboxing sign me up, hiking get outta my way, walking on the treadmill if I remember to zoom, yoga, oh man, nowContinue reading “Being honest with yourself”

The moment I realized the correlation between NFL week 15 and my lifestyle

I’ve been living a healthy lifestyle for several years now. I have a three tiered process, faith, food and fitness.. Recently my fitness stronghold has come into question due to circumstances out of my control. My workout routine has been upended. This paired with some of my own spiteful, somewhat petulant behavior, and 7 unansweredContinue reading “The moment I realized the correlation between NFL week 15 and my lifestyle”

You’re doing it all wrong

Weight loss, healthy habits, exercise, we all have our own “way” of doing things and what works for one person does not work for another. We all need to choose our own path and I respect that. Right and wrong are subjective on some levels, on other levels though, the research and statistics prove it,Continue reading “You’re doing it all wrong”
