Blue Monday Be Gone

I'm happy to report that I completed week 10 of the Live Fit Challenge last week, which means I only have two weeks to go to finish it. Some people have asked what I plan to do after that, and honestly, I'm not sure. Lately, our weather has been beautiful, which makes me want to run outside more.

In these next two weeks, I'm going to watch my diet extra close during the week so I can finish strong! How are your workouts going? I learned that Monday, January 21 was "Blue Monday" the day when, among other reasons, people are depressed at failing in their new years resolutions. I say, forget that! If you fall down, just dust yourself off and get back up! My 2-year old does that 10 times a day!

I'm not sure I shared my 2013 goals here . . .

I'm doing terrible in the coffee/tea department, but all-in-all, I would say I'm making a valiant effort at the rest. A work in progress.

Be back tomorrow with a few of my favorite HEALTHY cookbooks.

40 Day Fat Loss Challenge

At the beginning of last year (2014), I challenged myself to get in shape for my first ever NPC bikini contest and reached that goal after 5 months of training (July 2014). Since then, I'd been pretty much slacking on the diet and workouts, but by October 2014, I was not liking how I felt physically when I had gotten used to being in great shape. My weight was creeping back up and my muscle was turning into fat. In November, I started back with my trainer and by December had started embracing my bikini meal plan again, but not nearly as strictly and not without lots of "cheats". It was the holidays after all. And I like to eat as much as the next person. Read more »

40-Day Fat Loss Challenge (Day 14 Update)

It's time to check in and update my progress for the 40-Day Fat Loss Challenge I entered at my gym. For my body fat percentage, I'll use my trainer's caliper measure since I won't have access to the machine until the 40 days is up. The machine measured about the same as my trainer anyway. My goal is to lose at least 1% body fat each week so that at the end of the 40 days (nearly 6 weeks), I'll have gone from 24% down to 17%. I'm on track for that now, but would love to get closer to 15%. PROGRESS Day 1: 24% body fat (112.4 pounds) Day 7: 22.4% body fat (110 pounds) Day 14: 21% body fat (109.4 pounds) (These numbers reflect what I weigh when I weigh-in at the gym mid-morning. My weight below I take first thing in the morning when I wake up, so it's slightly lower.) Below is a picture of where I'm at as of Day 13. I didn't take a good "Day 1" picture, so the "start" is from December, but it's a good representation o...
