Weight Loss
Sunday Update: Bicycle
I had a good week – I spent a lot of it driving to and from Michigan where I spoke at the Small Town and Rural Conference. I also spent a lot of time in the car – and I have it in my head that I can eat junk food when I’m on a…
Read MoreSunday Update: Hula Hoop
Who knew hula hooping would be such a great workout? I received and FXP hula hoop in the mail, after agreeing to give it a try. (not paid, except for receiving the hula hoop) I mean – how hard could it be? Surprisingly, very hard! The hoop comes in six pieces and a carrying case.…
Read MoreSunday Update: Walking Weather
This time of year I love. I can be outside and walking. I got a pair of Vionic Motion Venture shoes to try (given to me free). They are black with blue trim and shoestrings. Size 11, wide. I know – big foot. As I’ve aged my feet have gotten wider and longer. Go figure.…
Read MoreSunday Update: 2 for 1
I missed you last week. I didn’t post last Sunday, nor did I catch up. Sometimes life gets in the way. I took last week off. It was my niece’s 30th birthday and we drove to Chicago. We ate in Greektown on Friday, had HomeRun Inn pizza on Saturday and breakfast at the Melrose on…
Read MoreSunday Update: Late and Consistent
There’s an oxymoron — late and consistent. Unless of course you are always late. I’m not always late. In fact, I’m usually early. Today was not one of those days. I’m late to posting this blog. I have been consistent all week though. I’ve recorded by eating habits in My Fitness Pal all week and…
Read MoreSunday Update: What I Learned This Week
Parking at the rear of the parking lot won’t kill you. Walking back to your car won’t kill you either. It gives you more steps on your UP band. Don’t shop hungry. I had to go to Hy-Vee today for a meeting (client of mine) about wine (yeah, my job sucks) and didn’t eat first.…
Read MoreSunday: Blue
My new Jawbone Up is blue. I ordered it on Groupon for $49 (more than 1/2 off). It tracks my steps, my sleep and syncs with My Fitness Pal. I also have it set to buzz every 15 minutes during the day to remind me to get up and walk around and not sit in…
Read MoreSunday Update: This and That
They came! My new Vionics are here. I love the colors too. I’ll be trying them out the next couple of weeks and I’ll let you know how they work out. Shoes are important and a vital part of taking care of yourself. And these look good too! This week I went on retreat to…
Read MoreSunday Update: Walking, Partners, Water
Last year I tried out a pair of Vionic shoes, during the Vionic Walkabout. It’s February a year later and time for another Walkabout! Vionic asks that you spend 30 minutes a day walking. That’s it, just 30 minutes a day for 30 days. You can sign up for free online at: http://www.vionicshoes.com/2015-vionic-walkabout The Walkabout is…
Read MoreSunday Update: Exercise and Food
It’s been ten days, two xrays, three doctors appointments and much googling since I fell on my arm. The xrays say no broken bones. The doctor said the bone is bruised, keep it iced, take the pain pills and let her know if it gets worse. Dr. Google (come on, you all know him) says…
