Budgeting
Posted by: Kathy on: January 19, 2008
What does budgeting have to do with dieting? For me, everything!
This past week, I’ve been counting my calories, and not only have I not struggled with reducing my calorie intake, last night I actually ate an evening snack when I wasn’t truly hungry just to increase my total caloric intake for the day. According to [...]

I weighed myself–in the middle of the day, too!–and discovered that I’ve lost another pound since Monday (or was it Tuesday?). Anyway, it’s actually been really easy–that’s the weirdest part. Making myself write down what I eat, and how many calories it is, has kept me from eating mindlessly, which has kept my calorie intake [...]
Exercise Videos
Posted by: Kathy on: January 16, 2008
I have several exercise videos I bought 10-15 years ago, that I just got out again after probably a few years. One series is from 1993 with Liza Elliot (now Liza Elliot-Ramirez, owner of a modeling agency for pregnant models–you can see her on Discovery Health’s “Runway Moms”) and was produced by Goodtimes Home Entertainment, and [...]
Just think
Posted by: Kathy on: January 16, 2008
These past few days, I’ve found a couple of different calorie counters that determined that at my height, weight, and activity level, I must be consuming approximately 2300 calories per day to maintain my weight. That’s what I needed to know, but I sure didn’t like hearing it! So, I’ve decided to count my calories [...]

I’ve decided to lose weight, which means that I must eat less and exercise more. How much less should I eat? How much did I eat before? Well, I didn’t write it down before, so I have no clue how much less I should eat! Then I found this calorie calculator that tells me at [...]
What are you waiting for?
Posted by: Kathy on: January 14, 2008
It’s kinda funny–my husband and I have been thinking along the same lines, but didn’t know what the other was thinking until just yesterday when he admitted that he’s been waiting for things/life to get easier before getting into shape. (He’s probably in better shape than I am, so I’m not saying anything negative about [...]
My day off
Posted by: Kathy on: January 13, 2008
I’m taking the day off from exercising right now. I probably shouldn’t have, but it is Sunday. Not that I’m a strict Sabbatarian or anything, but I do try to rest on Sunday–as much as any mom with two toddlers can, anyway!
Our church has morning and afternoon services on Sunday with lunch in [...]
Rules to Break
Posted by: Kathy on: January 11, 2008
I just came across this article on msnbc, about which health “rules” you should listen to and which you shouldn’t (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22575539/). I like it and would recommend reading it. Basically, the rules are good for most people, but some people need to modify it. For instance, the first “rule” is to eat lots of whole [...]
Hunger or Habit?
Posted by: Kathy on: January 9, 2008
I’ve had this problem when trying to lose weight (or just cut back on over-consumption so I don’t gain too much weight), and that is often eating out of habit. Sure, I have a little hunger urge–but am I truly hungry? Take last night, as an example. We had hamburgers, with broccoli as a side. [...]
