VillageJen Gets Fit: Day 19: Closing in on a Goal
http://villagejengetsfit.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-19-closing-in-on-goal.html
Friday, January 20, 2012. Day 19: Closing in on a Goal. There has been a great discussion going on at the Body for Life forum. About how often one should weigh himself. I wholeheartedly agree with those who say that the scale can deceive and that we should look to other signs of progress, like measurements and how our clothes fit. And yet, even though I believe that, I can not shake my habit of checking the scale first thing every morning. I may be a wee bit. Wow, I got it zipped all the way up! Here is ...

VillageJen Gets Fit: Day 36: Out of My Element
http://villagejengetsfit.blogspot.com/2012/02/day-36-out-of-my-element.html
Monday, February 6, 2012. Day 36: Out of My Element. Wow, traveling and doing Body for Life is a challenge! I guess that's part of why they call this a challenge. I didn't realize how much of my progress was due to developing a finely honed routine. My gym. my grocery store. my daily schedule. Each day was just a repeat of the day before and that was working. If you've ever lost weight, has this happened to you. You overindulge. And then you feel sure that you've put all your weight back on?

VillageJen Gets Fit: Day 29: Week 4 Comparison Photo
http://villagejengetsfit.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-29-week-4-comparison-photo.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. Day 29: Week 4 Comparison Photo. Four weeks of Body for Life completed! I'm starting to fit into a size 8, which was one of my end goals. That's very thrilling for me. Less thrilling were the photos that hubby took yesterday. I can see. Change but it's subtle. I'm the Queen of Unrealistic Expectations, though, so I know to be patient and keep on working hard. One thing is for sure. the tanning bed has made a difference. Doctor's orders for Vitamin D! Other Body for Life Blogs.

VillageJen Gets Fit: Day 27: Say No to Drugs
http://villagejengetsfit.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-27-say-no-to-drugs.html
Saturday, January 28, 2012. Day 27: Say No to Drugs. I learned a valuable lesson today. It's best not. To combine Sudafed, a cup of coffee, no breakfast and a cardio workout. I mean, it was a great workout! I was basically on speed. But then my heart rate would not lower, even after I cooled off, stretched out and then sat in a chair. In fact, when I was on the bike I began to feel dizzy and had visions of me getting off the bike and promptly collapsing to the floor. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

VillageJen Gets Fit: January 2012
http://villagejengetsfit.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. We're packing up to head out of town so I'll update the blog when we get settled later this week. I had a reassessment at the gym today and I was happy to learn that my body fat percentage has gone from 29.5% to 26.4%. That's about a 10% drop, which I hope is good for four weeks. Have a great mid-week, everyone! Day 29: Week 4 Comparison Photo. Four weeks of Body for Life completed! Saturday, January 28, 2012. Day 27: Say No to Drugs. After I sat for a while I tried to take my p...

VillageJen Gets Fit: Day 16: Week 2 Photos
http://villagejengetsfit.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-16-week-2-photos.html
Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Day 16: Week 2 Photos. Alright, what's a Body for Life blog without progress photos, right? That's what we all like to see. Like to see more progress but it's only been two weeks! At least I do see a. Progress and that inspires me to work even harder. Maybe I'll hire a better model, too!

VillageJen Gets Fit: Day 15
http://villagejengetsfit.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-15.html
Monday, January 16, 2012. Monday morning and I'm back on track. I had a good Upper Body Workout at the gym and I'm following the eating plan that I put together ahead of time. I was going to take photos today, since it's the end of two weeks but I decided to wait until tomorrow. I want a day of clean eating first! I haven't posted any photos yet because I want to be able to put up a comparison, even if it is only two weeks worth. It's just too hard to put up the "Before" shots without having. Day 9: The ...

VillageJen Gets Fit: Day 12: New Low
http://villagejengetsfit.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-12.html
Friday, January 13, 2012. Day 12: New Low. Last night I went out with some friends so I planned ahead of time to have my Free Meal then, rather than this Sunday. That's the second Thursday in a row that I've swapped out my Sunday Free Meal. (I'm doing a Free "Meal" rather than Free "Day" because I'm afraid that I'd do too much damage with an entire day of eating with abandon.). Eat whatever I wanted? What if I wanted the fried appetizer platter? And gooey cake for dessert? The grilled fish and broccoli.

VillageJen Gets Fit: Day 24: SAD
http://villagejengetsfit.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-24-sad.html
Wednesday, January 25, 2012. I remember now why they named it Seasonal Affective Disorder because that's just how I feel. S.A.D. It's been gray and gloomy since November and it has finally caught up to me. I've heard that frequent moderately intense exercise works just as well as an anti-depressant. Well, I'm doing/taking both, which has helped me win the battle. until now. I may feel depressed but at least my body is improving! That's worth ten Prozacs right there.

VillageJen Gets Fit: Day 25
http://villagejengetsfit.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-25.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. Now I know why I was feeling particularly bad yesterday. I'm sick. It's just a stupid cold but I feel like I've been hit by a truck. Maybe not a Mack truck, but at least a Ford 150. Ever the good citizen, I disinfected all of the weights and everything I touched afterwards. I'd hate to get anyone else sick. Today the cold has settled into my throat and chest so I'm postponing my cardio workout until tomorrow. Hopefully I'll feel well enough to do it. Other Body for Life Blogs.
