Robin how do you do with fruits and veggies? Whenever I find I’m too snacky (for whatever reason), baby carrots and veggie crudites become my best friends. I know you are supposed to deal with the reason you want to eat and yadda…but sometimes quite frankly I have to engage in what I call “defensive eating,” or, eating very filling foods that…[Read more]

I’m so glad you’re taking a proactive stance on the “scale surprise.” It’s easy and understandable to get down about that sort of stuff. But I love that you are instead taking action!
So you’re going to a conference, eh? Question: How many conference meals do you think you’ll be having? (Conference meals = meals provided directly by the…[Read more]

Rain, rain go away…
Anyhoo…Happy Wednesday! If you’re following the 5k Training Plan, today we walk another 15 minutes. As I said, if that’s less than what you were doing before, add 15 minutes to whatever you do and go from there!
I was going to walk at the lake this evening but it’s supposed to be raining so I think I’ll hop over to the Y…[Read more]

True fact: recipes cannot be copyrighted. So it’s not illegal to share a recipe you got from a book with someone else. Good form would be to share the recipe along with book information (title, author, and probably a link to the book). The one caveat is that you should never post a photocopy of a recipe book. If you share a recipe, you’d need to…[Read more]

I’m so glad you double checked before starting the training!
Welp…I hereby nominate you as the CMO (chief motivating officer). Should you accept this duty, you’d be helping us all stay the course on this thing and acting ridiculously proud of every little thing that we do. (aka Channeling your “Inner Nik”)
Of course you are free to decline…[Read more]

I see you there with the gluten-free toast. Good for you for kicking wheat out of your life again!
I’m glad you were able to do the bike, but take it at your own level, always. I’m glad we are doing this. I’m motivated!

I’m not doing a formal 5k. I’m just going to map out a route and walk it! The details about how to do the 5k are forthcoming but you don’t have to sign up for a formal 5k if you don’t want to. But if that’s fun for you, you definitely should!
I was thinking there’s a few of us close enough to meet up maybe? I dunno…whaddya think? 😉

Back to school, back to reality. Sigh.
If you are following the 5k plan today is a cross train day. That means you do some other form of excercise besides walking! Our plan says 20-30 minutes.
I’m gonna hit the Y late tonight as I have an evening meeting. I will so the elliptical and rowing machines. So far, my planner book is working well to…[Read more]

Did you get some vacay planning done this weekend? I think you must have as it’s not on your plan anymore!

I had a good day! I got my walking done. Everything I ate was sooo yummy too.
For breakfast I had an omelet with spinach, tomatoes and onions.
For lunch I had a PB&J quesadilla on half a high fiber tortilla.
For snack I had a lunch meat roll up.
And for dinner I had Cajun sausage and peppers.
I also prepped some spicy breakfast burritos for…[Read more]

Yep! That definitely counts as your 5k walking! 🙂
Sorry they screwed up. Hopefully they’ll make it ridiculously easy for you to reschedule.

Good morning and Happy Labor Day!
Today begins our training schedule for the Foodie 5k! We start off fairly straightforward: Walk for 15 minutes.
- If this is challenging for you, do your best and remember to report back so you have a record of what you did.
- If this seems easy for you, I’ll tell you my approach is going to be to add 15 onto…

Well, yes, for the mini-pledge…but I hope that isn’t the end of you using the Weekly Plan forum!
I’ll be tallying up stuff on Tuesday. I THINK there were maybe 6 of you who did the mini-pledge all the way through (don’t quote me on that as I’m only going by memory) so I think the odds are ever in your favor! 😉
