I used to eat rice cakes for snacks all the time then I just got sick of them. Started eating them again recently, and figured out the key for me is to have just one every few days.

“HARD”
How I did it: I saw a recent photo of myself and got mad at how slumped over I looked. So I decided then and there to change it. Having good posture involves being aware of your body…you have to constantly monitor that you are holding yourself erect. But after a week I no longer [...]

Fall is almost over, I can’t believe it! Soon winter will be here and I’m not even halfway prepared. I suffer from seasonal depression and it was one of the things that contributed to my mental breakdown this past February. I have other issues that I am getting help for, but this is a primary [...]

Oatmeal is such a great breakfast. Why? easy to make, high in protein, low in fat, and very filling. Excellent when eaten hot (it does get gummy as it cools) but not so much so that you want to overeat on it. Great way to get a nice filling breakfast without fighting the urge to [...]

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been since September since I posted! I’ve had good reason though…I had a miscarriage in September then early this month we all got sick with the flu. Now I’m feeling a little better, but not so much I feel like I can run just yet. I think tomorrow I will [...]

I started a group on flickr for Supplemama.com!http://www.flickr.com/groups/supplemama
Join and I’ll post your pic(s) to the site. So far I’m the only member so if you have an interest in fitness and/or weight loss please join

Check out my new running shoes! My husband got them for me and I just love them. They are Asics gels and they are heavenly. I can’t believe how soft they make running on concrete. They are very shock resistant, I felt the difference in my knees immediately. I’m a super asics fan now [...]

Link me! Mention it on your blogs, blog comments, on mailing lists, talk about it with your friends, on wikis and social media sites like Digg, etc. Please don’t spam my blog – link to it where appropriate. If you linked to this site, feel free to email me about it with a link to [...]

I’ve had these shoes for awhile, they are uber comfy but about worn through. I use them just for walking. Will get a new pair of walking shoes soon, also a new pair of running shoes. I think my feet have changed; I used to have really flat feet but now it feels I’ve developed [...]

I should know by now to leave salt alone…I am so senstive to salt, that even a little causes my ankles and feet to swell. I was going to take a pic of my ankles but they were just too gross. The swelling on my feet is not a whole lot, but it wasn’t a [...]

I had a therapy appointment yesterday, and afterwards realized I am in no emotional state to fast. I didn’t tell the therapist about it, only that I wasn’t eating much. Overall I feel good about the decision because I don’t think a fast will work while I am still in so much emotional turbulence.
Today’s health/fitness [...]

It’s early in the day but do far I feel ok. Very buoyed up and full of energy, although I did have a hard time getting up this morning. The real test will come between 4-6pm, which is my crunch time. As today is my 3rd day I think I will weigh myself…I feel any [...]

Today was kind of rough, I was tempted to break my fast today! My olderson came home with cake from a friend’s party. But then I decided, if I break it now I’ll probably never do it. So ignored the cake and stuck it out! 58 days to go. %8 sounds so much ‘less than’ [...]

I’ve decided to go on a 60-day juice fast! I’ve done some research on it and I believe this will be a great help to me in learning personal discipline as well as healing my water-retention issues. Luckily we already have a juicer so making fresh juice is no problem. I’m excited about this! Check [...]

My broken toe is finally healed, it took 8 weeks! I haven’t tried to run on it yet though, I’m going to wait a bit for that. But it sure is nice to walk around without crutches or without the special foot boot. Just being up on both feet this past week I’ve lost 2 [...]

Picked some blackberries today! Most were not ready but a few were ripe. I love these so much because they satisfy my sweet tooth but have zero fat! a great snack food

Sigh. I’m having foot issues again. This time I stubbed my right foot so badly it broke one of my toes clean in two. That was two weeks ago, I have another 2-4 weeks before it’s fully healed. I have to wear a boot brace and walk on crutches when I don’t wear it, in [...]

Regular visitors know I am very much into natural health care as part of my overall fitness outlook. I found this site Natural Medicine Talk that is pretty cool; it’s a message board for folks into this stuff to come talk about natural health remedies. Some of it is pretty out there in left field…I [...]

So I’m giving myself 90 days to hit my goal weight of 130 pounds. I started June 5th, which means I should be at goal August 5th. I started at 170 so I have 40 pounds to lose in 3 months. It sounds like a lot but it’s just a little over 13 pounds a [...]

I recently joined an online fasting support group run by my friend Jasai called Fast Girls. From the site:
Fast Girls: A Community of women calling on the timeless tradition and wisdom of fasting to strengthen, mind, body and spirit.
Our weekly communal fast takes place from sunrise on Mondays to sunrise on Tuesdays.
Please note that FastGirls [...]

I have got to get back to the gym; working the elliptical machine really is a HUGE fat burner. It’s a high calorie burn workout and very easy on my knees. Still no new shoes yet, I’ve been so busy no time to shop. I hope to get some this weekend. Will definitely post a [...]

Someone mentioned to me to get hot pink running shoes. I really like this idea…pink is my favorite color, but I rarely wear it on clothes because it does not flatter my coloring. But shoes is another thing, and I would love to see that hot pink flashing on my feet! I always tend to [...]

So I have lost some more weight and my knees feel so much better. But still not at goal weight and still struggling with having too much weight on my knees. I’m getting new running shoes next week so I think that will make a big difference because my current pair of shoes is about [...]

I have a love/hate relationship with exercise. I hate doing it, I hate starting it, but I LOVE the way it makes me feel. When I get that endorphin rush, it feels just like right after orgasm, that full, flushed, satisfied feeling of goodness and satiation. I just feel so good, and relaxed, and tingly, [...]

I have food triggers. There are certain foods that cause me to just lose it, to just say ‘bump it’ and start stuffing my face. Last year I got most of them under control, for example I can now really eat just a handful of potato chips or a small bowl of ice cream. But [...]

Had a toasted veggie sub for dinner while husband and sons had pizza. I really really really really really really really really really really really really wanted a slice, and would have gotten one…if. If I could stop at one slice! But not sure if I could, kinda shaky on that. I’m losing weight [...]

Now that I’ve started running again I can see a real difference in my belly area. I do intend to start crunches up again soon though as my stomach is still soft and flabby.

See more progress on: have a flat stomach

Back from running, pissed because I am still SO FAT. well not so fat but fat enough it’s hurting my knees. I am tired of being shaped like a weeble-wobble. Slenderness here I come.
and yes, I know I can’t change my body shape, but I can certainly reduce the amount of roundage I have.
Thanks [...]
