I’ve decided as part of my holiday decorating, I wanted to spruce up the blog a bit. I wanted to find a picture that still had to do with the beach, but also had a bit of a Christmas feel to it.
I went to iStock Photo and found quite a few great images. Unfortunately, WordPress [...]

Trotting on Turkey Day, Whew, I’m Tired!
Posted in exercise, feeling good, friends, goals, health, healthy choices, healthy outlook, walking, tagged 5K, Thanksgiving, Turkey Trot on November 27, 2008 | 3 Comments »
This morning at 9am BFF and I participated in the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot. Since I hadn’t ever done it before, I had no idea what to expect. I have to say, I was surprised that over 8000 people had signed up to take part in the run/walk. I think it’s great that that many [...]

Last week was a pretty good one; I did everything I was supposed to do, but I sort of felt like I was just going through the motions, you know? Things have started to get a bit too routine for me where my weight loss is concerned, and so I thought it was time to [...]
Turkey Trot!

A few weeks ago, I saw something in the newspaper about this year’s Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning in downtown San Jose. It seemed like a fun way to spend the morning, and a great way to pre-burn off all of the calories that would be consumed later in the day. I haven’t done a [...]

Last week was a “getting back on track week” for me, and I did pretty well. Friday afternoons/Saturday days continue to be a struggle for me, for some reason. It’s like I turn into this other person and feel the need to consume lots of food. I tried to make healthy choices – fruits and [...]
Inspiring New Show – Ruby
Posted in feeling good, goals, healthy outlook, weight loss, tagged inspiration, Ruby on the Style Network on November 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’d heard about Ruby on Cammy and Jennette’s blogs. They both mentioned how inspirational and real Ruby is. Since I had some time yesterday, I figured I’d check it out.
I really love the show! Ruby seems like such a fun person – the kind of girlfriend you’d love to spend the afternoon gossiping with. She [...]

If you’ve been reading lately, you know the last couple of weeks have been a bit of a struggle for me.
First there was the 3 pound gain. Then I started working out EARLY in the morning, and was feeling great about myself. Then I opted out of my WW meeting and went on a 3 [...]
A confession
Posted in healthy outlook, weight loss, tagged confession, slip ups on November 9, 2008 | 1 Comment »
So, I have a bit of a confession to make.
Wednesday I was supposed to go to my new WW meeting, just to get a feel for the new center. I had worked out on Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday was set to be my “off” day so that I could attend the meeting. Sometime on [...]

Posted in Healthy You Challenge Update, exercise, feeling good, fitness, goals, gym, health, healthy choices, healthy outlook, organization, preparation, self esteem, weight loss, working out, tagged early morning workouts on November 4, 2008 | 6 Comments »
As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve decided to try to get up early (5am) and go workout in the morning.
Yesterday I didn’t wake up in time because I couldn’t fall asleep the night before. I did go workout after school, which was great.
Last night I made sure I was in bed, lights out, [...]
