Searching the racks for a new outfit only to realize that the size that fit last time I went shopping didn’t fit anymore…I was at least one size bigger. And damned if I was going to try on 2 sizes bigger, I’d just squish myself into the one that almost fit, knowing that if I [...]
Appears courtesy of Fitness Flame. For many of us, the time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day is about eating. OK, it’s about much more than that, but the Christmas season pretty much boils down to food way more than most of us would probably like it to. There are family get-togethers, parties, baking days [...]
Appears courtesy of 110 Pounds and Counting. The good news is that Thanksgiving and Christmas are JUST ONE DAY. That means if you do overeat a little, it’s not the end of the world. It’s one slip up, that can be reversed if dealt with immediately. How is that possible, you wonder? Basically with continuing [...]
Appears courtesy of Functional Fitness. When visiting Costco today I overheard a fairly typical but rather interesting exchange at one of the sample booths. A lady approached and asked what was being offered – “Smoked oysters and (some type) of cracker”. The customer responded with “sounds delightful,” and began to walk away. The “sample lady” [...]
Appears courtesy of Athlete at Heart. Benefits of Recreational Sports Leagues I’ve been participating in recreational sports leagues off and on for the last 4 years and I would highly recommend it. Why? Lots of reasons! Make New Friends When I first moved to my current city five years ago I knew two people, my [...]
Appears courtesy of Living the Hike Life. I am a runner. Sometimes I love it sometimes I hate it, but running is a part of me. I love to push my body to its limits and see how far I can take it. I love to know that I can go outside and run for [...]
Appears courtesy of Food and Fitness 4 Real. I am about to finish up week four of my half marathon training. My first half marathon (of three races I have planned this fall) is the 13.1 in Dallas on October 22nd. Staying motivated during the long months of training, either for a half or full [...]
The road maybe long and hard, but with a little love all things are possible. With faith and work we can do anything. It is love that gives you a sense of joy, to see the wonderment and beauty in the world. Even in the most dire situations, faith in good things will empower you [...]
Appears courtesy of TRX Runaholic Diary. Putting yourself at the top of your to-do list isn’t selfish; it’s actually self-preservation. You are your priority and taking good care of yourself is job one. Keep those fashion magazine in the corner and give time to review your days and how you would want to spend the [...]
Appears courtesy of High Cotton Livin’. Do you ever have those days where you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see? How about days when you wish your jeans were two sizes smaller. What about days when you think your job isn’t good enough or your car isn’t “cool” enough. I have [...]
Today’s post is brought to you by Heather, from Then Heather Said. A reader recently sent me an email I knew I had to address on THS Okay, here’s my question: What do you do when you don’t feel beautiful? I’m asking you in particular because of your passion for Operation Beautiful! And I’ve just [...]
Appears courtesy of High Cotton Livin’. On Thursday night I had a small mental breakdown. It was one of those days as I’m sure many of you can relate. The day started off with a 5:30am text from my trainer saying that he wasn’t going to make it in. Usually I would still make my [...]
Appears courtesy of Stephanie from TheAlmostRunner. If you’ve been reading this blog for longer than 2 days, you’ll know that I’m not really a “fitness” person. I don’t enjoy “moving around.” I would rather “watch TV while eating chocolate-covered-peanuts.” What has generally happened since high school (except for a few months before my wedding) is [...]
Today’s post is courtesy of one of Fitblogger’s own – Colleen from The Lunchbox Diaries. I consider myself a healthy living kind of girl. I exercise regularly and I normally choose “good” foods over the “bad” ones. I like a routine, and I rarely stray from it. But my honeymoon was a different story. I [...]
But the thing is I don’t necessarily feel motivated. I just feel like working out is part of my everyday life – kinda like my addiction to TV, bad jokes, and thought bubbles.
We recently brought home a little bundle of joy, a springy Boston Terrier, that our daughter has named Zoey, however, because she’s a bit of a dork, just like the rest of the family, we usually call her Zoebert, it just fits better. Before embarking on such life changing decisions, I do what all A [...]
Courtesy of Courtney from Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life (who ran her first 10k in April!) On race day, I was up at 6:30 and ready to go! Before leaving the house, I snacked on a piece of almond butter + banana toast for some pre-race fuel. By 7:45, I was down at the 10K Spring [...]
Appears Courtesy of Allison Nichols, HC at Frisky Lemon. Do you ever feel guilty when you give into a craving? Do you eat a few pieces of chocolate or a slice of cake and immediately feel like you need to hop on the elliptical, or be “good” for the rest of the day? Does your [...]
Appears courtesy of Jessica from In My Healthy Opinion. I’m a big fan of working out and moving my body, but that doesn’t always mean it comes easily. I go through periods of time when all I want to do is grab the easiest DVD I can find and get it over with. In other [...]
Happy long weekend (Canadian) fitness lovers. It’s been a great week around these parts, highlighted by my daughter’s 5th birthday celebration. We are tired, covered in glitter (not sure where it all came from) and still finding cake hidden in the backyard (actually the puppy is finding cake) but it was blast and a great [...]
Courtesy of Julie from Peanut Butter Fingers. Julie is a healthy living blogger who succeed by following her heart, rather than her paycheck. People measure success in varying ways. Happiness. Money. Good friends. Close family. A top position at work. One of the things that stuck out to me about Ryan when we first started [...]
I have been on a Lara Bar tear for a while, necessitated by some seriously busy work days lately. They make a great on-the-go snack, especially when you’re seriously on the go. Since I figured out how to make a reasonable Lara Bar facsimile, I haven’t found myself willing to pay for one already made. Funny how that [...]
Courtesy of Meg from Sunshine ‘n Spice. I take rest days typically in between lower/upper body days (sometimes even 2-3 rest days are totally necessary and that’s fine!) Rest days are possibly even more important than the actual time spent lifting itself. You simply cannot push your body to it’s limits every single day and [...]
Courtsey of Alyssa from Life of bLyss For a “non-morning person,” I’ve been surprisingly happy to pop out of bed at 6 a.m. to bang out a few miles on the treadmill before work. This is where I like to be at 6 a.m. Today, as I was going through this rhythm for the third [...]
Courtesy of Gwen from All Things Gwen. Today marks 100 days of conscious eating. I can’t believe it. I USED to be able to eat whatever, whenever and never have to worry about it. People used to be amazed at my appetite. Life was good, especially since I’m a total foodie … until I turned [...]
