Marathon Mommy!

Trula — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 19:07:31 +0000

I just discovered Marathon Mommy, a blog about mothers who run marathons. I’m so excited to come across this blog, because as you know I’m a mama and I like to run and this year I’m doing the Cleveland Rite Aid marathon. The last post asked, Why do you run? Well I run because:

-it is fun
-it makes me feel good
-it makes me breathe deeper
-it releases stress
-it’s free
-it increases my metabolism
-it helps me lose weight
-it makes me think better; clearer

Missed the Cleveland Rite-Aid Marathon So I missed the big Cleveland Rite-Aid Marathon. I initially...
Preparing to Race I’m going to run in the Cleveland Marathon 5k run...

Stop The Insanity by Susan Powter

Trula — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:37:00 +0000

I really liked Susan Powter’s first book ‘Stop the Insanity’ because she really breaks down how to eat to lose weight (in short eat what you want but avoid foods that are high in fat), but more important she stressed how she did not get her head together, or really deal with her issues before/during/even after she lost weight. I thought that was really interesting, crucial even, because so often we stop ourselves from making changes because we over-think it and/or feel we have to get our mental stuff right before change is possible.

25-Week Fitness Challenge: Week 21, Day 141

Trula — Tue, 22 May 2007 16:43:00 +0000

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 remainder of my challenge. I am a little scared about not being able to lose my last 20 pounds or so due to hearing about and seeing so many people get stuck at the last 10 or 20 pounds. I don’t want to get stuck for months and months where I’m at! I weighed in this morning at 154.5, so I have 24.5 pounds to go. I’m starting to see a real difference in my legs, finally, you’ll see in the next batch of pics.

Today’s Goals:
30 minutes yoga
Walk 4 miles
Elliptical 30 minutes
Weight training 20 minutes
120 oz. water
One serving meals, no seconds
Raw veggies emergency snack
Raw fruit for dessert
Brush & floss after every meal
No salt added to food
Bedtime when sleepy/Wakeup at 5am
Weight loss so far 55.5 pounds

25-Week Fitness Challenge: Week 21, Day 140

Trula — Mon, 21 May 2007 23:38:00 +0000

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 Y for me tonight, I’m done.

I saw a news clip about a woman who has this weight loss program that’s based on praying to God instead of overeating when you feel stressed, sad, upset, etc. She got slammed by Matt Lauer on the Today Show but I feel like, if it works for them, good for them. It seems much better than taking pills or surgery or other drastic means to lose weight. I can see why it would seem a little scary to some, though.
Weigh Down with Gwen Shamblin

This reminds me of a book that was out a few years ago by Nutritional psychologist Marc David: The Slow Down Diet: Eating for Pleasure, Energy, and Weight Loss

On another note I weighed in this morning at 155 again. Man! I was expecting a half pound loss but oh well. I’m going to really concentrate on my portion sizes this week as I have gotten really flexible on that again, LOL. My goal is to be at 153 by Saturday. I can do it!

Today’s Goals:
30 minutes yoga
Run 2 miles (ended up walking over 7 instead)
120 oz. water
One serving meals, no seconds
Raw veggies for snacks
Raw fruit for dessert
Brush & floss after every meal
No salt added to food
Bedtime when sleepy/Wakeup 5am
Weight loss so far – 55 pounds
