I love healthy eating! Why I didn't do this before now is beyond me...why I abandoned it in the first place is unbelievable. Can't believe that in the rush of life, for the sake of convenience, I have forgotten what I actually enjoy eating...fresh fruits and veggies.

Well now, that was a real wake up. The past 10 or so days have been a real challenge, and I fell off the wagon. Time to dust off, forgive myself and get right back on that healthy horse.

Another rainy day...

Oooooof. No wonder I was so beat yesterday...nothing like waking up with a full blown summer cold. That would explain why I wasn't hungry the entire day, headachy, a bit on the grouchy side, and had the draggy bottom syndrome. Hopefully it goes away soon enough so I can ramp up the exercise again. I don't want to overdo it and exhaust myself, but I've gott

Motivated by Music

Boy, does that make a difference!! Finding music that is a bit off-beat, funky, and energetic is a big bonus for me, it seems :) I'd planned a faster pace and 30 minutes for the good ole Nordic Walking Trainer, and was surprised to find myself finishing at 47 minutes instead..now *that's* what I call an added bonus...when you don't even realize you'v

Yes! Feels great to have accomplished today's goal of 58 minutes on the Nordic Walking Crosstrainer for the first time since joining fitclick! Overcoming rough starts for the last week as well as a drop in motivation wasn't easy, but I just gritted my teeth and told myself "Do it for YOU!!!" Talk about

Quite surprised to see that I've still lost 3 lbs. so far despite the rough start this week; getting goals set, figuring out how to use all the tools here, getting things coordinated, groceries bought, menus planned, interruptions, remembering to eat (!) and other of life's vagaries. Guess when you pay attention to what you eat, how much and when, and then actually trac

Day 4 con't.

I've simply GOT to manage to eat lunch and more than chug water for a 'snack'. Hopefully this trip to the grocery store will rememdy the empty fridge and cupboard situation and make it easier by having things on hand. 

The next two days are planned, so a trip to the grocery is imperative! ...

Day 4

Living in Germany is proving a bit difficult with some of the foods or brands...they're simply not available or are so extremely seasonal that they are not available off season without tons of added salt or sugar, sometimes both. There are some good substitutes, and it's taking me a bit to find them.

Whew! Don't know about anyone else out there, but I am finding it difficult to eat all the meals or amounts of food! Perhaps it's just getting used to eating regular meals....after years of eating only one meal per day... I'm feeling stuffed to the brim come lunchtime. Not a feeling I'm used to, but perhaps with the addition of exercise daily this too will b

Well, darn it all! Didn't get much accomplished first day out, so will give it the ole college try again today. Unexpected chaos ensued right at the start of the day and kept up until the end, which completely threw all my plans off.

However, I fully plan to be prepared from today on...I'll take yesterday as a learning experience and know that from now o
