A Blast From the Past – Dress for Success

As I was sitting around thinking about what to write, I realized that I’ve been going through my closet a lot lately. Which made me think of this post I wrote a couple years back. It’s definitely still pertinent, so take another look, if you please.   While clothes may not make the woman, they [...]

A little (long) history of me

A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Christie Inge, life coach extraordinaire. Please take a second to go back and read her guest post! As I mentioned then, I’m going to be tackling some of the questions that Christie presents in her getting started guide. The good, the bad, the ugly…I’m going to bare [...]

A guest post and a little announcement!

I am so excited about today’s post, friends. I first heard Christie Inge speak at Fitbloggin’ 2011 in the Ditch the Diet: Eat Intuitively panel. I started following her on Twitter and soon after signed up to start receiving her weekly emails. The way she approaches her relationship with food and her body image really [...]

If you follow me and Thea on Twitter, I’m sure you’ve noticed tweets such as, “Shut the hell up.” or “Jerk.” being thrown at one another. We mean it in good fun, but what none of you may not realize is just how much I really admire Thea. I remember Thea saying once that she [...]

Thursday Three – Break the Rules

One of the biggest traps we can fall into when it comes to following a weight loss or fitness routine is that we get bogged down by the rules of the plan. We research and read and agonize and then choose a plan only to feel constrained because it’s…well…constraining! This is YOUR weight loss journey. [...]

Fitness Friday

It’s hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head.  ~Sally Kempton, Esquire, 1970 “You think too much.” That’s what I heard from my husband last night while I was talking to him about my fitness woes.  I was telling him that I have all these lofty fitness goals but I condemn myself [...]

The Thursday Three (The Premiere Edition!)

Here we are on the cusp of a new decade.  Can you believe it?  A NEW DECADE!  It seems like only yesterday that we were all heading for our underground bunkers convinced the world was going to end once we hit 2000. Personally, I’ve seen a lot of changes in the last ten years.  Marriage, [...]

True Confession Monday!

Let’s just start off with a bang, shall we? Don’t tell anybody, but I’m a little over my computer right now.  I can’t figure out why, but I don’t want to read blogs, write blogs, or comment on blogs. Facebook is making me feel left behind and Twitter…well…I can’t catch up.  It’s a conundrum, because [...]

I know my numbers. Do you know yours?

So much of what we all focus on when trying to lose weight are numbers: Pounds lost and gained Calories/Points eaten Inches lost Minutes (Hours?) of exercise Clothes sizes But what about another set of numbers?  When’s the last time you had your cholesterol and triglycerides checked? My dad was overweight for most of his [...]
