So, if you would carry 5 of those irons around, you'd obviously lose TEN pounds!

2009-05-08T14:26:00.000-07:00

At my gym (Curves) I am one of the youngest people there. One day the gym manager asked, " Does any one want me to turn the music up?" I raised my hand as high as I could. I felt like of my students. (OOh pic me gym lady.) Any way the old ladied were like, "I can here that music down the street." I was thinking, "I am going to F'in fall asleep in this place if they don't crank it up a notch. Tou can here it down the street yeah right little old lady. I guess Miracle Ear is really a miracle.( God forgive me for my unkind thoughts. Hopefully one day I will be the old energetic lady at the gym with the sense of hearing that mimics a K9.)

Hi Krishna!

I've been participating in the 3 Fat Chicks forums -- it's a great spot for weight loss support and encouragement, as well as information and education.

Hope to see you soon :-)

Just remember to do like Mom and Dad taught us..eat your fresh vegetables, then your cooked veggies, and then have a sensible piece of grilled fish or chicken. You can do it!

Hey, I do hope he is not living in the gym. But I guess if that is what you got to do to keep a roof over your head and stay in shape, then a $50/moth gym membership may be worth it.

2009-05-07T10:35:00.000-07:00

Hey Toot!
I admit there are days when I am like "What the hell am I doing on this stair machine of hell at 7 in the morning?"

I have to say though that I have to then think of my goals. Though I admit to being shallow and vain. My health and quality of life have become a very real priority for me.
After seeing my father in the hospital with serious heart problems and barely able to walk, I cannot ignore the need to take better care of myself. I also cannot rely on someone else to take care of me. My Mom is my Dad's sole caretaker. This is the "for better or worse" contractual clause in the marriage vows exacted to it's fullest meaning. Marriage or a soul-mate is not promised to me or anyone. So I got to depend on me to take care of me. By the grace of God I will do my best.

So that Zen is just pushing through that workout. And it is HARD. But it is not impossible. I try my best to keep motivated. Whether it be envisioning me strutting in a dress, sweating to a good music list or thinking of getting healthy with my Dad. You got to know it is worth it. That hour of sweat and pain will pass and you will feel so worth it!

Hope that mouthful helps you Toot Toot!

2009-05-07T09:46:00.000-07:00

I wonder if he lives in the gym to get those results. I mean literally lives in the gym. You'd be surprised. I had a summer love who lived in the YMCA. I was always confused why he would call from a phone. He was foin!!! Cut up and ripped! He's just like you and me, but he's homeless, he's homeless. Lada Dee Laddy Dah.

HappyFatSkinnyGirl,

I am Toot. Tell me, what goes with the workout that gets you to that moment of Zen. You are the 2nd person this week whom I've heard speak of euphoria with working out. When I think of working out, I think of Hell until it its done and then maybe the moment of Zen may be around the corner. Because I have not reached this moment I struggle daily, talking myself into going through Hell. For what? All for the hopes on oneday fitting into some chic gear for me to look in the mirror and say, "Damn, you look good!!! Now if only I could get a date...who is not my dad's age." At that moment, I am not in Hell, nor around the corner from Zen, just stuck in traffic of female singleness. Toot,Toot!!!

I enjoyed the Ergometer and definitely would use it as a warm up and to strengthen my arms. But for strict cardio, heart-beat pumping, calorie-burning needs, I'd go with the Row Machine or push-ups (gulp).

2008-02-06T18:38:00.000-08:00

Please be very careful with your weight loss journey. Following Kimkins (as written) may be cutting your food intake too low. Losing weight at the risk of losing your health is not a good thing.

Please be sure that you are eating enough food and discuss your weight loss plan with your doctor.

Definitely do a little more research before deciding which plan you wish to follow. I just did a quick web search for Kimkins and there is some pretty scary stuff out there.

Congrats on your weight loss and your deliveries. ...

2008-02-06T13:40:00.000-08:00

Congrats on your weight loss and your deliveries. Yep weight loss isn't a linear thing but your overal trend will be negative as long as you keep working your lowcarb healthy eating. Glad you decided not to do the dangerous Kimkins diet.

2007-12-31T07:16:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since you posted. I hope you're doing well. Please, if you are considering the Kimkins diet again, read this first: Kimkins Diet Scam Update.

Kimkins members may join the Kimkins lawsuit! Here is a video that explains how easy it is to join the Kimkins lawsuit.

Be healthy!

Thanks yall.
As far as the KimKinsControversy...I really could care less about it. There was "controversy" about low carb diets. It did not bother me any. And it taught me about nutrition and calories and paying attention to food and not just my emotions and pleasing my mouth. So Kimmer may be a nut, probably a fake. But there is some good from the bad. And there is where I am...in the good. All good.

2007-08-20T07:51:00.000-07:00

I love your blog and I love the fact that you are happy and your food makes you smile!! Life is good! As far as reaching your goal and your journey toward it ... well I LOVE your honesty because the only way to approach, progress, and accomplish goals is one BITE at a time. Be patient but persistent with yourself and don't forget to laugh at yourself, because at the end of the day you ARE loved and that is all we all want and all God wants for us. I appreciate your blog because we are all trying to be on our way to being our better selves and it never stops if you are really involved in this existence called LIFE!!

Im glad you tried your bread and Nelly Furtado.Im confident you will do better next week according to KB standards.We should do our best everyday with the 24 hours God has blessed us with. I'll leave you with my new favorite quote by my man Art Williams, who is found on Itunes in the BUSINESS playlist, saying "All You Can Do Is, All You Can Do, BUT All You Can Do Is Enough" If we do the right things we will get the desired results. If we focus on the end result too long, it becomes too much and we will fail often. 12 Pillars has changed my life...LOL Happy Kimkinings to ya
