More Powerful Than Lightning

January 18, 2011

I don’t believe in the lightning bolt moment anymore. When you watch Biggest Loser on TV (or any weight loss success story) there is always that moment of “and that’s when I knew I had to make a change”, followed by the weight loss montage, and finally the triumphant skinny successful “loser”. I believe in [...]

Hello. My name is Imogen and I’m a…food-aholic!

January 17, 2011

I remember a happier time…A time when I was younger and (much, much) thinner. A time when eating was just a necessity and not a (guilty) pleasure. A time when some people even thought it would be a good idea for me to put on some weight, eat larger portions & give that scrumptious chocolate [...]

Hello! Please don’t hate me!

January 14, 2011

Hi, my name is Katherine and I’ve been lurking for a little while. I read for several months, and I actually got in touch with LiLu about joining more than a month ago, yet here I am, still lurking! That is not at all why I fear a lack of hospitality though, I mean we [...]

No Sugar Coating (and Not Just to Avoid the Calories).

January 10, 2011

This is the situation; raw, and honest. There will be no sugar coating here. Every year, I gain another few pounds. I make feeble attempts to change my diet, but happy hours and weekends offset all of my daytime efforts. I make it to the gym for a few treadmill sessions before a busy week [...]

It’s sortof like the Holiday Season, but with significantly fewer Christmas Cookies and significantly longer waits for all of the best equipment at the gym.

Hitting My Tens

December 29, 2010

Cross-posted at Everything Comes From Now. ********************************************* My usual cardio workout for the last few months due to my knee have been 20-30 minutes of running, stationary biking, or very rarely the elliptical (I’m not a fan). This is because of a few reasons: 1. My knee. 2. Time constraints. 3. My *()!$ knee. The time [...]

Diet Dinner Party

December 15, 2010

This biggest challenge I find with the Body For Life program (or any diet for that matter) is working around Odd Days. On a typical working day, it’s no problem to eat everything I should and avoid everything I shouldn’t (or at least, it’s easier). But on the weekends or when friends want to get [...]

Just a tiny celebration…

December 9, 2010

Recently, I have let myself fall off the exercise bandwagon. This isn’t something I can do, as you all know…I am fighting for my life here. So, today I renewed my promise to put my health first. After getting my work day set up, I selected one of my favorite exercise videos from my beloved [...]
