Motivate Me

Submitted by Liz on March 30, 2010 - 9:56am

Today marks the one year anniversary of the start of my "Stop Being Fat" campaign.  In the past year I have struggled more often than not with making the "right" food choices in regards to *what* and *how much* I've eaten.  My commitment to my personal training sessions has been sufficient enough that although I haven't lost many pounds (only 20-ish) I look way better and my body is much stronger than it was a year ago!  One thing I noticed over the past year is that once in a while I'd come across a quote and be inspired for a bit to stay the course or jump back on the wagon

Restaurant Wars

Submitted by Liz on March 16, 2010 - 1:03pm

It's Friday night and you're sitting in a restaurant with your friends. The hostess hands you the Next Great American Novel otherwise known as the menu and tells you that your server will be right with you. If you're anything like me, this is the moment the chaos begins. First you think "I did really well on my diet this week, I should celebrate and reward myself." Quickly following that thought is "But I don't want to derail all my efforts!" Hot on the heels of that jewel is "But it all looks so good!" Et cetera, et cetera ad nauseum.

Ten Things You Should Have or How do you not have these things already?

Submitted by Liz on February 2, 2010 - 1:16pm

Based on the other articles/blogs (have I ever mentioned how much I hate the word "blog"?) that I've written for MyFresnoFitness.com, one might assume that all I think about or have opinions on is different diets and health and fitness-y type stuff. Maybe you think something like "That girl who writes stuff on that fitness website...she must spend her life dieting and working out and grocery shopping....I wonder if she does anything else...?" Of course, this is assuming that anyone out there gives a second thought to anything I've written....

So, here's a little list for you: 3 Diets I've Tried
(Can three things even be considered a list?  I guess, if each thing is numbered, it's a list....???)

Liz: Time is On My Side

Submitted by Liz on January 10, 2010 - 11:12pm

Time is On My Side Dietly Speaking.

Ti-ii-ii-iime Is On My Side, yes it is! (Think of the song!). At the end of February 2009 I made a decision to lose weight and look good. My main motivation was purely vanity...I was sick of being a big, puffy, fat person. I was disgusted with my body and by extension, my whole self. I had a plan, something that had worked lots of times before, that I was going to implement on March 1, 2009.

Preparing for Success

"Success always comes when preparation meets opportunity." -Henry Hartman

Two things are true about me: 1) I'm a planner. 2) I am rarely prepared.  You may be wondering how these two statements could be true simultaneously.  Let me explain...I am the person who plans parties years (yes, years...I was planning my 30th bday blow out when I was 25...and it was pretty spectacular I must say!) in advance but I am also the mom who leaves the house without diapers.

My Shopping List

Submitted by Liz on December 1, 2009 - 9:21pm

A couple months ago I wrote about being prepared and how I so desperately needed to be more prepared, especially with my diet.  I confessed that I had slacked on my eating plan and that I knew that in order to get back on track I needed to make menus and shopping lists, and basically just get organized.  Well, I'm still working on it and gearing up for all the work that being organized with menus and shopping lists takes (even though once I am organized in this area life is just so much easier!!).

A Sleepy Tale

As i sit here writing this, I am positively exhausted. My eyes are heavy, my shoulders hurt, my head is foggy, and i just want to lay down....if i didn't know better, I'd think it was 3 in the morning...but no, it is 3 in the afternoon. So why am I so tired?
