May 26, 2006 – Just 4 Today


Posted by katiebird

So much to do and so many days I’ve put it off. Well, I’ve got a 4 day weekend so today’s the first day for me to face up to my at-home responsibilities.7 Here goes:

  1. Just today I will drink 2 liters of water
  2. walk 3 miles
  3. work on the E4T Exercise Blog
  4. Go to the doctor (sigh)

I’ve always said it doesn’t have to be about food. What are you going to do today?


How to lose 10 or more extra pounds this year. Making a commitment works like magic.


Posted by katiebird

I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds. Just today.- And I’m going to try this for a year to see what happens.

All I can think of this morning is that I’d love to lose 20 pounds. And how thrilling is that? I stood on the scale this morning and looked down at the dial and just smiled.0 And smiled. I looked at where it was a year ago and counted each 10 pounds.t And then counted again, because it’s so unbelievable.

If I hadn’t changed the direction of my life last July, I’m certain I’d have gained at least 10 pounds this year — possibly more. But, I wouldn’t know it now.2 Because a year ago, I wasn’t weighing myself regularly. So if you think about it, I’ve not only lost the weight I actually lost — I also lost the weight I didn’t gain!

Sure, I’d like to lose another 20 pounds. But that first 10 pounds — the pounds I never gained are probably my proudest accomplishment.

Stephanie, our friend from Back in Skinny Jeans, has written up this fun post. And we thought the hardworking commentors and lurkers here would enjoy it:

Notice more junk in your trunk? Blogging has been wonderful in satisfying your creative soul. However, all that typing and sitting has taken its toll on your tooshie. You know you have blogger butt when…

  • You go to a gym to sign-up and are appalled to discover that there are no FREE options. You retort, “But everything is free in the Internet.”
  • You photoshop your face onto the picture of somebody else who already has a six pack and buns of steel.
  • You are shocked to learn that a TechCrunch is not a form of Ab Crunch.
  • Your guilt keeps telling you to go workout, and you wish you could turn off the comments.
  • You use tan in a can not realizing that it makes you look like an Oompa Loompa.
  • You have created dozens of “workout” playlists for your mp3 player, but listen to them more at your desk instead of during an actual workout.
  • You write a book with the word “naked” in the title, and it’s about blogs. Where’s the sex?
  • You talk to your non-blogger friends and family about blog feed, and they ask you if carbs are bad in that diet as well.
  • You have created online identities that are “fit and fun”
  • You tell people that Tom from MySpace is your workout partner…
