TurboFire makes me smile
Posted on January 17, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare Today’s workout was TurboFire 45 EZ. Don’t let the EZ fool you. It’s not easy. I love the P90X cardio DVDs. Still, as I’ve improved my cardiovascular fitness with Insanity and the blue intermediate plan from Jack Daniels’ Running Formula, they just don’t exhaust me like they used to. That means it’s time to [...]

Shallow but nice
Posted on December 9, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare This may seem shallow to some. And they might be right. But something happened to me recently that reminded me of how incredibly much easier and how incredibly much more fun it is to shop when you’re a size 2/4 rather than 14/16. That isn’t why I changed my lifestyle, but I have to [...]

Open Invitation: 90-Day Challenge Group Starting Nov. 7
Posted on October 24, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, Online resourcesShare When I look around, I see so many people around me who sacrifice their health ambitions – knowing that they are doing so – because living a healthy lifestyle is a genuine challenge. I am young enough to not be cynical about work-life balance, but old enough to have had good and bad experiences to [...]

Don’t get obsessed with the scale.
Posted on September 18, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare I’ve seen my weight change by three pounds literally overnight more than once. The uncertainty in most bathrooms scales is about a pound. And if you’re building muscle while you’re dropping body fat, what your actual weight is going to do is far from straightforward. I have talked to more than one person who [...]

People who have inner motivation and passion for starting an exercise program are more likely to succeed in sticking with it.
Posted on August 21, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare If you are starting and exercise program because you “know you should” or because someone else is nagging you into it, you are a lot less likely to succeed than if you have intrinsic motivation of your own for starting. I knew I should exercise from my freshman year of college, when I stopped [...]

What is wrong with this idea?
Posted on July 27, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthyShare Take a look at this old ad. (I saw this on another blog, but on a completely different subject.) What’s wrong with this idea? Isn’t it interesting how logical it sounds when you leave out a number of facts about sugar, hunger, satiety, and the human brain? If you look around enough, you’re bound [...]

Weight Loss Calculation Spreadsheet
Posted on July 10, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Eating healthy, Online resourcesShare I have spent a good deal of time making a spreadsheet in Numbers for putting together calorie intake and calorie burn into fat loss projections this weekend, and I want to get it out into the world before this weekend is truly over. My trail run report will have to wait. So with very [...]

Time to get serious about diet again
Posted on July 5, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, My fitness journeyShare Lately, I’ve been noticing that some of my clothes fit tighter than they used to. The scale, even when considering the 3-pound effective uncertainty in day-to-day weight, also suggests I put on fat. (While I would love to believe I built so much muscle that my jeans are tight, I have a pointer saying [...]

Research studies are not done in order to give you personal advice
Posted on June 15, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Eating healthyShare My client Julie told me recently that a friend of hers had said that soy was bad for women and asked me what I thought. I ended up sending her a long email that was really more about what to do with media reports on nutrition than soy in particular, and I wanted to [...]

Lifestyle change
Posted on May 8, 2011 by FitYoginiRunner in Coaching, Eating healthy, My fitness journeyShare I’ve heard it said that “lifestyle change” is just a code-word for “diet”, as in eating virtually nothing to lose weight temporarily. Apparently there are people out there who aren’t quite being realistic about what the phrase “lifestyle change” means, such as the woman someone recounted speaking to on a blog who was going [...]
