For myself and I suspect many other black women, we don’t feel bad looking at thin women because we have heard positive affirmations about our body shape all our lives, from all types of men and from other women. We also have mothers and other female family members who showed little or no dismay at [...]
Weighed in this morning 153.5, I think I will hit my Saturday goal of 153! The weather had definitely been on my side. It’s been very hot here, up in the 90s a few days this week. So I have been sweating a lot and drinking lots and lots of water has not been a [...]
I was just reading over at Tim Ferris’ blog and saw this:Lose 20 pounds of fat 30 days, no exercise I really like #4, ha! I of course am going to keep my exercise up but I’m considering tweaking my eating to this (except vegetarian of course and including fruit on off days) for the [...]
Today was a walking day for me, unintentionally. My kids each forgot something at home so I ended up walking to their 3 different schools at various times throughout the day. I walked to my oldest son’s school twice. In all I walked 7.5 miles today including my walk to the library this afternoon. No [...]

Although since I have developed more balance since I started doing yoga, I am still not as steady on my feet as I would like. I wondered why my feet are not as strong as they should be and it led me to wonder if shoes weakened my feet. So I did some research and [...]
I feel ultra-raggedy this morning, not sure why. Well, that’s not entirely true, I’m upset over stuff that’s happening with my extended family. I tried to put it put of my mind but just ended up repressing it, and now it’s surfacing on me physically. My legs and hips ache really bad, and there’s no [...]
I missed running again today! I mean it completely slipped my mind until now, how odd. Mercury Man wants to go to the Y tonight so I’ll run on the treadmill then. This is week 20 since the beginning of this challenge! I am close to the end and did not even realize it. I [...]
I weigh myself every single morning after I have a large glass of water and my morning poop (bowel movement) before breakfast. I have been losing weight since January and I swear by this method because it helps keep me on track each day. This is because my goal is to make the numbers go [...]
Hello there, I’m Trula Breckenridge and this is my fitness & weight loss blog. I’m a 36 year old woman who lives in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. I’m a mother of 3 children, ages 19, 13, and 10, and like many mothers I struggled with losing weight after having children. In 2004 I wrote [...]
Some things that have helped me: Give or throw away any junk food in your house ASAP. Especially soda Give away any processed foods, including white bread. Figure out what your trigger food is/are, and don’t eat it/them. Once you stop eating them for a couple of weeks, only eat them once a week. My [...]
The weather where I live is slowly settling into spring. This past weekend was sometimes chilly, sometimes mild, and today it’s very warm out. I missed running early this morning! but had a nice walk after the kids got off to school. I have quite a bit of work to do in the garden later [...]
I went running this morning with a goal to beat my last time of 13 minutes 20 seconds for one mile. I far exceeded this goal, are ready? Drum roll please…..I ran a mile in 12 minutes 7 seconds!! I am so excited about this. My son Scott went out with me again and I [...]
This week has flown by, I’m so serious. 2 more days of work work work then on Mother’s Day I’m going to chill. Weighed in this morning 157 even. Today is Stir-Fry Friday at my house, so I’ll have a little relaxing at dinner. Then after that going to the Y and working it out [...]
I am not running today but man oh man is it a great day for running. Today I am going to the Y and hitting the elliptical. Weighed-in at 157.5 this morning, woooot! I thought my weight wasn’t going to budge for a minute. I was flipping through my yoga book and this caught my [...]
Next round of pics: Weight 158 My waist at 158 pounds. Not a big difference from the last round of pics at 170, but my back fast is almost all gone. My weight loss is slowing down, but I am confident I will get to my target weight of 130 pounds if I just keep [...]
I practice Iyengar yoga, and it is such a pleasing way to begin the day. I think of all the things I have done in an effort to grow as a person, doing yoga has been one of the most beneficial to my personality. It is very calming and soothing to my soul. As recently [...]
Today is a walking day, and yoga in the early morn of course. I am getting much steadier on my feet with yoga, I have to smile when I recall how when I started I was so off balance I couldn’t even do the Mountain pose without wobbling, have mercy. Now not only has my [...]
I went running! I have been waiting and waiting to start running again since the beginning of the challenge in January! I was too heavy then, 210 pounds, and since I have a lot of weight naturally on my thighs/bottom and then had so much excess fat there as well, I thought it best to [...]
