Time’s Ticking

Time seems to be moving entirely too fast. Time, that thing I never have enough of. That thing I NEED more of! I have 4 1/2 weeks left in the Bodybuilding.com/Optimum Nutrition Transformation Challenge. To some this may sound like a lot of time, but not when it comes to losing weight and changing your [...]

Sugar and Spice and…46% body fat?!

Our 5 year old scale finally kicked the bucket, so we decided to invest in a new-fangled scale that gives more information than my last doctors visit. One of the main reasons we wanted it was because it gives a body fat reading. Hoo-ha! I stepped on it and found that I’m not really full [...]

Fat loss tip: Staying on track during vacation

Spring is coming and many people will start traveling, either visiting new places, or returning to familiar places to visit family. Soon, Goran and I will be vacationing (visiting family) and spending our mornings sipping mimosas (Turkish coffee) on the Mediterranean (Northern serbia) listening to the sea gulls (goats) sing their peaceful lullaby (baaah!) Life [...]

Poop! What’s goin down?

OMG she’s totally gone off her rocker now. I hear you. I do. But somebody has to talk about it. So, my family accuses me of having some fascination with toilets. My husband would classify me as anal retentive, stuck (pardon the pun) in Freuds sickosexual anal stage.   Well, I can admit that the [...]

I’m too busy to exercise.

So we bought these stretchy work-at-home bands put out by Gold’s. It came with an instructional DVD – cool. We popped the DVD into my husband’s iMac, and all sat back watching it start playing like we were at the movie theater.  The credits came and went, and then came the oh-so-chipper aerobics and/or step-class [...]

If your name is Kaity and you live with me, hit the back button right now or this computer will self-destruct in 12 seconds. So we all have our weaknesses. Mine is Reeces (I know, it’s ReeSes – but Kaity isn’t reading so it doesn’t matter), and ice cream. Last night I was feeling all [...]

Fat loss, or not? Who’s to blame?

Back in December (or was it July?) I broke down and went to the doctor after about 10 years (since my last physical) to get everything checked out.  one of my concerns was my weight, and what was happening because I just kept packing on the pounds. “Please, doc, let me blame something else for [...]

Fat Loss Tip: Don’t do this kind of 180

If you’ve been reading, you know that my main tool for exercise is my shiny new elliptical machine. I love the elliptical because it’s good at burning a lot of calories – it also does a great job strengthening your lower body muscles, from your calves to your glutes. one of these days I’ll be [...]

56 Days Remaining – 8 Weeks

It seems like time is flying since I began the transformation challenge. I just finished week 4 and I can already see some changes happening. I had started a new meal plan and workout routine 2 weeks ago and I was a little scared of doing the meal plan. It was a LOT of food [...]

Please, weight.

Please, weight. It’s not often my day job relates to my weight loss saga, considering it requires me to sit on my dupa 99% of the day (coffee in/out breaks excluded).  Last week, I was working on a css project for a nifty java tool, and this popup – well, it almost hit the nail [...]
