I Did It! Lost 10% of Body Fat

So my 90 days of P90X and 12 weeks of the Body Challenge ended last week, P90X on Wednesday and Foothills on Saturday. I didn’t win, but I have some good news on my progress to share. I lost 10% of my body fat during the 3 month period of eating healthy (between 1400-1600 calories) [...]

P90X 6 Weeks of Progress?

P90X 6 Weeks, originally uploaded by dr.coop.
I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’m looking at one of those puzzle photos where you are supposed to pick out the differences in the photos. I can see the jog bras are different, my socks and shoes. I wear a watch in some, but not [...]

Yeah, I Ate That

Inquiring minds want to know. Okay, maybe not, but here it is any way. This is some of what I’ve eaten over the last few weeks. I’ve gotten into the habit of taking a picture of what I’m about to eat to help remind me of it later. I send the photos to Flickr and [...]

Lost a Little Love in My Handles

You have to look really closely and then close your eyes tight and dream. Then you’ll see that I’ve lost a wee little bit in the middle love handle area. Now if you open your eyes too soon, you’ll miss it. Be patient. Oh wait. I think the be patient advice was for me. After [...]

Week 2 Progress Report

Well, I survived the first two weeks of P90X. This is my start photo next to my Day 14 photo. I can’t see any change yet, but I do feel like I have more energy and I lost 2lbs. I really lost 3lbs, but it doesn’t count because technically I lost it before I started [...]

Vacation Diet

I didn’t keep my diet journal this week for obvious reasons, but I still managed to snap a picture of what I ate most of the week. I did have a few more apples than the one shown and a few bananas thanks to our Bed & Breakfast hosts who provided fresh baked goods every [...]

My Virtual Model is Hot!

Okay, this is just plain silly, but silly I am. So what. I discovered this site today called My Virtual Model that lets you do just that, create a virtual model of yourself. The concept stems from the idea that people who shop online could try the clothes on virtually so they can see if [...]

Track Diet with Your Cell Phone

Trying to eat healthy can be challenging. The hardest part is keeping track of what I’ve eaten on a daily basis. I want to be good and write it all down, but that can be difficult with a busy schedule. Heck, it’s hard to find time to eat most days. But I’ve figured that part [...]

I’m Back!

What more can I say. It’s been a while since I’ve checked in with my blog. After two weeks of travel, sickness, stress and just plain business, I’m ready to resume my journey. I just had to take a break to save my sanity. But I’m back now kicking off my restart with a 10 [...]

Before Photos

This is what I look like at my worst. Unfortunately, that’s what I look like now.
I’ve been able to hide those fat thighs by wearing bagging pants. But the belly is starting to take over. You just get used to wearing larger clothing until finally, one day you realize you can only fit into [...]
