Sunday Update: Summer

It’s June 15 and finally I feel like summer is here!  I bought a bike a couple of weeks ago from the Webster City buy and sell page.  Sadly, the back tire has a bent rim which makes the back brakes a little wonky.  However, it’s a decent mountain bike and I got it for…

Sunday Update: Get Involved

What a week! I got two workouts in with Randy and I spent the weekend at JunqueFest.  It was the first ever event at Wilson Brewer Park where the Chamber, Iowa Antique Network and Wilson Brewer Park partnered up to have 54 junk/recycled/upcycled/metal/wood/yard art and more vendors come for the weekend. We started on Friday…

Sunday Update: Goals and Accountability

There is great news from last week — I got four intense workouts in!  That was the goal, and the goal was made.  Goal setting does a couple of things: Creates focus on where you are going.  You can say “I’m going to work out.”  There’s no call to action there.  Workout means what? How…

Sunday Update: A Day Late

We had storms here yesterday.  Big, bad ones with lots of rain.  And … I left my power cord at my mom’s.  So it was a double whammy for using the laptop. Good week last week — used My Fitness Pal each day and made the cut (under calories) all but one day.  And that…

Sunday Update: One Week In

Made it through the week and kept my calories in check!  Have NOT had a Diet Mountain Dew, took my vitamins every day, had a protein shake every day, had GC Control every day — and I’m a week in. What does that mean, one week in?  For me – it means I committed to…

Sunday Update: Warm Weather

This week I worked with Randy twice, took pictures and am waiting on him to send me my results (we still have to measure).  Weight is holding it’s own – that means, I’ve lost inches but not pounds.  At first, that’s disconcerting.  All this work and the weight insists on not moving (notice how I…

Sunday update: Walking. Water. Work.

How’s that walking going?  Better!  The Walkabout group sends me emails with good tips.  Here’s one:                 I’ve also been doing more stretching and drinking water.  Both very important to the body.               Let’s talk about giving up.  You work and work…

Sunday Update:Ugly Shoes and Better Knees

When I was in my twenties, I bought a lot of ugly shoes.  I really liked them.  My favorite pair were the Alien Stompers by Reebok.  Made in 1986, they were what Reebok thought shoes would look like in 2170 and used them in the Alien film. God they were ugly!  But …. they fit,…

Walkabout Anyone?

My Project for March: A Walkabout  I’m testing the Zen walking shoe from Vionic next.  Starting today I’ve promised to walk for the next 28 days for 30 minutes a day.  If it stays cold, I’ll be at the gym.  I think I’ll break my walks up into ten minute jaunts, if I can be…

My Perfect Day

Thanksgiving weekend Melaleuca Inc. flew me to Salt Lake City and filmed me telling my story about their product GC Control.  This Saturday they are having their semi-annual product launch and my video will be a part of that event.  If any of my readers want to learn about products that have helped me to…
