Summer Slimdown - Beyond Nine Weeks

Take Me To Post Comment Form

This is a fantastic post and a reminder to all of us as to how we should be viewing this adventure: http://community.the-signal.com/blogs/detail/2092

It was really cool to see so many of the Summer Slimdown contestants at Results Fitness this morning... I think I counted 6 of us. :)

My trainer, Mike, asked me last week what my plan was after the nine weeks are over. My first, gut reaction was that I won't be quitting. I haven't figured out what that exactly means just yet, but I hope to have that figured out over the next four to five weeks.

I've learned so much from this process already. I want to take my knowledge, and newly found appreciation for healthy eating, and make a serious attempt to changing my diet and exercise habits beyond these nine weeks.

Summer Slimdown - Back from Vacation, Back to Work
August 24, 2009
I had a nice, two-day vacation that was full of temptations. Tacos here, pizza there, churros, cupcakes, pretzels, and did I mention the tacos? :) I *think* I did well, though. I had packed food for myself for two days and basically snacked on all of it. I tried to ...

Summer Slimdown - Vacation Challenge
August 20, 2009
I'm going out of town for two days, leaving tomorrow morning. I'll be away from my hotel for most of the time, but certainly surrounded by opportunities to eat a lot of junk food. My plan is to take as many healthy, non-perishable snacks with me, but meals are going ...
