I'm baaack!And glad to be here. The business trip was WONDERFUL, but probably for some of the wrong reasons.
Work went great. I felt useful and helpful, which is important for a trainer!We had lousy weather, so I was greatful to have the driving skill of my hubby along. Then I was just pleased to come "home" to the hotel each evening and have the company of my hubby, and to rise each morning to the company of my hubby.
I ate spectacularly! Enjoyed some new type o...
Into the Belly of the Beast - A BUSINESS TRIP...
Wednesday, March 26th 2008
Heading north for a few days. Won't be back until Saturday or Sunday -- so, will miss weigh-in; and do not know if I can blog or forum or university until I get back.Remember the PLAN: Think ahead. Prepare for office traps (bowls of snacks, improptu birthday parties, etc.). Prepare for workouts - hotel has fitness center, may have pool. Nonperishable snacks have been packed. Materials for long drive so that the drive doesn't become an excuse to graze for hours.
With any luck and...
Tools for New Habits (or, How NOT to become a statistic!)
Tuesday, March 25th 2008
As mentioned on my blog last week, those who begin a new diet as a New Year's resolution statistically "fall off the wagon" on March 18.

That's right, if my new routine does not factor in basic human elements, I will fail. There are...
Easter Delight!
Sunday, March 23rd 2008
Perfect day! Time at church and astounding worship service, lovely Easter breakfast with friends and family (still at church), then time to play with young grand-nephew and visit with niece, finally a beautiful walk together with hubby along the river and a long-distance talk with my dad (who sounds so strong after hip replacement).Officially - too much chocolate today, and wondering if I should be concerned about stalled weight loss.
Heart's Voice - joyful, joyful perfect day an...
The Week in Review!
Saturday, March 22nd 2008
Hot topics first: No weight loss this week, but inches are coming down. While I want to be satisfied with that, I took a very close look at my food and exercise diaries and found a few trouble spots. Chocolate was a regular (unnecessary) part of my snacks this week. I probably do not need to have chocolate every day. While I am doing better at avoiding artificial sweeteners, I did have a little most days. Finally, I ate "salty" yesterday, which could have affected my weigh-in...« Previous
