*yawn* I am a tired, sleepy Trula! Long, exciting birthday today (I’m 40!). I had pizza, wine, and sherbet for dinner, no cake. I decided against the cake because I didn’t want to blow my whole week of hard work. But the sherbet was nice, and so was the pizza. I still have to do [...]

I subbed at a school that was about 2 miles from the school where my husband works, and since it was an early school we got out earlier than my husband’s school. So I walked down to his school at the end of the day rather than wait for him to come pick me up. [...]

Food: 1576 calories Exercise: Brisk walk 30 minutes Water: 80 oz Mood: Good

I am not feeling it today at all. I feel so tired and worn out this morning. I hope I feel more peppy after I’ve finished my coffee! Today’s goals same as yesterday, though I might do a very short run (1/2 mile) later.

I am sore from going to the gym yesterday, oh boy. I lost another pound! so I am at 10 pounds now. I’m attributing it to all the water I’ve been drinking; it’s flushing the fat out and/or causing my body to let go of water weight I’ve been carrying. that and the exercise! Today [...]

whew my 45 minute fast walk was hard!! but also exhilarating. I feel very ramped up now. I think from now on I’m going to do my fast walk first thing in the morning, that way I get it out of the way and get a big boost to start my day.

Portion sizes are hard for me still. When I first started getting fit in 2007 and understood just what a portion size is (most foods a portion is the size of your palm) I would cry and cry because I was used to eating so much more than that! but after a while my stomach [...]

Bowling last night was great fun! 2.5 hours and I was up and on my feet most of the time. Today I’m taking it easy, just laying around the house mostly. will do a little housework in a bit, then do my walking. Today’s goals: 1400 calories 60 oz. water 45 minutes brisk walking

Today I’ve already had 4 peices of bacon and bread, so I have to eat light the rest of the day. that bacon was worth it though, so good! If you have a smart phone there is this app I like called Lose It! it helps you keep track of your calories, exercise, goals, etc. [...]

I’ve been easing back into exercise, doing Walk at Home with Leslie Sansone. I get it for free on demand via cable. I might buy her dvds because she is so cool, and it’s a really good workout. I’m going to start running again April 1st, or I should say dragging myself about LOL

I am so excited I hope sleep comes tonight. I’m going to start distance running tomorrow. I’ve been doing a mile or two here and there, but nothing like I used to do. Tomorrow I’m going to do five miles! Excitement!

Today I had another long walk. I had to go to the bank and my car is out, so I ended up walking there. I kind of ambled along so it took me and hour to walk there and an hour back. I also did yoga this morning. Today’s Health Goals: 30 minutes yoga 30 [...]

My goals today were to do a half-hour yoga and then walk for half and hour. I ended up walking for nearly 2 hours today! I am worn out, but in a good way. I feel my muscles getting back in gear. Today’s Health Goals: 30 minutes yoga 30 minutes walking at 5mph Drink 120 [...]

I’m going to start keeping track of my running & walking miles again. That really helps to keep me motivated! Now I just gotta get moving again ^_^

Today was a good day. I didn’t get my run in but I worked today substitute teaching so I was on my feet for at least half the day. It was a good day. I also did a half-hour of yoga. Calorie-wise I had a light lunch, and for dinner had grilled chicken with rice [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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
