To begin, begin. Monthly Archives: October 2010. I did a 5/1 x 5. That is, warmed up, ran 5 minutes, walked 1 minute and repeated that 5 times, then a light jog for cool down. This is a total of 30 minutes running and a total of roughly 3 miles covered. Not bad. All done at the beautiful Louisville Waterfront Park. I was lucky enough to catch up with a musketeer on gchat today and we bemoaned the on-the-road pitfalls that seem to get everybody. And still, I eat pizza at midnight last night. I might a...

To begin, begin. I need some accountability, so I thought I would type out the food and activities that will be a part of this day. A 120 calorie yogurt with some blueberries in it. Two turkey sausage patties, 100 calories. What should lunch and dinner be? Lets keep it clean, Sloan.). Also planned is a jaunt around the scenic loop at Cherokee Park, 2.5 miles. Accountability continued: Lunch success. Thin chicken breast grilled and a bowl of broccoli. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. You are commen...

86 the wine, 88…jeez. « 88eighty
https://88eighty.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/86-the-wine-88-jeez
To begin, begin. 86 the wine, 88…jeez. Last night I made a discovery. After one eats fruit and vegetables all day with 2 supplementary Nutrisystem entrees, if one has a glass of wine at a social function, one will get tipsy, have more wine and the night will end in ordering a burger and fries from room service. Things could be worse, I know. But, damn. I am disappointed in myself this morning, but I am awake as the sun comes up with plenty of time to plan out another great day of eating for myself.

To begin, begin. Monthly Archives: May 2011. I went to the gym yesterday and gave weight lifting a shot. I was advised that low weight, high rep is the way to go when paying attention to keep grunting and neck strain to a minimum. Il ritorno d’running. Today I took a step in the right direction. I made a triumphant return to the pavement and went for a 3 mile run-walk. I had gone dark in the blogger realm for some reason, but I think my latest purchase. I also had about 2 solid weeks in there since I las...

To begin, begin. Il ritorno d’running. Today I took a step in the right direction. I made a triumphant return to the pavement and went for a 3 mile run-walk. I had gone dark in the blogger realm for some reason, but I think my latest purchase. I have to wait 2 long weeks before I get my actual paws on it) has made me dip my toes back in. And, I always do everything better when I stop and reflect on why it is I am doing it and the success rate at which it was done. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

To begin, begin. Artist on the road. I knew it was going to be a challenge- trying to do Nutrisystem while being on the road in a familiar town with favorite eateries and favorite people. BUT, I must say, I have been doing pretty well. So far the weight loss is hovering around -7 lbs. Which is a helluva lot better than what could have happened. Observations have been the real-honest-to-god feeling of hunger that, in my life, I have only had on very rare occasions, hydration and energy. Deep South Under C...

To begin, begin. Newer posts →. Life on the road and in a box. As the old adage says: “Eat to live, don’t live to eat”. This is probably the most important lesson for me to learn in regards to my health. If I could sit down to one whole cake covered in buttercream and a five guys burger every day of my life, I would be happy. Nutrisystem- it’s me and you, babe. Once again with feeling! I went back to the gym last night after a month (ish) long absence. Tonight, an encore! I have been off the radar as I a...

To begin, begin. Monthly Archives: July 2013. Day 2 of Doing better at Life. 30 minute personal training session. (ass kicked, big time). Fruit and Nut Bar. Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries. Lunch was a weight watchers rice thing. A bowl of broccoli. Dinner was a burger and fries and two beers. (shut it! I need some accountability, so I thought I would type out the food and activities that will be a part of this day. A 120 calorie yogurt with some blueberries in it. What should lunch and dinner be?

To begin, begin. Monthly Archives: February 2011. 86 the wine, 88…jeez. Last night I made a discovery. After one eats fruit and vegetables all day with 2 supplementary Nutrisystem entrees, if one has a glass of wine at a social function, one will get tipsy, have more wine and the night will end in ordering a burger and fries from room service. Things could be worse, I know. But, damn. I need to figure out a way not to have an insatiable thirst for wine while talking to donors at events. Tips?
