THEFATCHICK's Jun 2014 CalorieKing Blog

My weight on the scale is just a number, it does NOT define me.

Saturday, June 7th 2014

I love it when a plan comes together, yesterday I was hoping to correct a miscalculation of sodium I made wednesday and it worked! I lost an additional 3 ounces as well, I'm down 2lbs 7oz since starting CK again. I'm sure you're all thinking that's it???

Yes, but I am also working with a trainer 2xs a week and hitting the gym to ride the bike those days and at least 2 other days a week, usually riding 60 min/ 27 miles a ride. My legs are very big, my knees are bad and by pulling my knees ...

Good morning everyone, today is a beautiful day!

A Marathon NOT a Sprint

Tuesday, June 3rd 2014

Today is a great day! There are two quotes I would like to share, one is borrowed and one is an original…

“Nothing great is created suddenly, anymore than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen”.

~~ Epictetus


“A body still, is void of energy, but a body in motion creates energy”.

~~ Cindy P. (a.k.a. TheFatChick)

I’m 43 and roughly 65 lbs overweight; tw...
