Finding Radiance

What a short work week for me!  Since I took off Sunday and Monday, that means I am done with the week already.  Yay!  It is also a rest day for me – one of those really difficult things to do.  To help my sore muscles out, I made a protein-rich brekkie that looks different [...]

We went to see Batman today. Wow, that’s all I can say. Just wow.
Brought my own snack to the movie – Nutrisystem white cheddar soy crisps. I am a big sucker for movie popcorn, but really wanted some control. I did eat a few peanut M&Ms that John had.
Today wasn’t great food wise. [...]

Yay! Another good day. Ate Nutrisystem foods today, which is really great when I am swamped. No thinking needed. So busy, though. One more day of having a million things to do, then only 999,999 after that . I don’t like being so hectic – I feel like I don’t get [...]

Went shopping for new bike shorts today. My other ones are too loose, and they keep creeping down my legs when I jog. Not the most comfortable of feelings. So – I just went into Sears for the heck of it. My plan was to go to Dick’s sporting goods, because I was sure they [...]

I have been asked quite a few questions lately about how I am losing the weight. Keep in mind that this process started about 4 years ago, so it has gone through various permutations to get to the point I am currently at.
Food: I pretty much count calories.
I try to eat around 1400 calories [...]

Even though I only eat a little NS food now, I still get a lot of questions on the program.I do like NS, I think the food is a tool to teach you proper portion sizes and what a balanced meal is. Like any eating plan – it works if you do it properly. [...]

Hopefully a loss tomorrow. I have been checking my weight every day for the last week, and will post what that looked like tomorrow. It was definitely interesting. I understand why daily weighing can drive you crazy!!
Did my upper body bowflex (okay I always write blowflex and have to correct that. Why is that???) workout [...]

Today was C25K Week 6 Day 3. That was one long 25 minute jog. I took it slow and did about 1.5 miles. I could conceivably finish a 5K in under an hour right now
After the first 1/4 mile, it felt much better. That first start of the jogs just doesn’t feel that [...]

Did Day one of Week 6 of Couch to 5K. The end of Week 5 had a long 20 minute jog. Today was split into 3 jogs. 5 minute, 8 minute and 5 minute. I pushed on the last 5 minutes, just to do it. Got much further around than the first 5.
I’m going [...]

Today was Week 5 Day 3 of C25K. That means 20 minutes non stop of jogging. I did it!! And I wasn’t even out of breath. I went 1 3/8 miles, so that is about a 16 minute mile or so. I will take it!! I really, really think I can do the whole 5K. [...]
