Weekly #sfmgetsfit weigh-in

Losing weight isn’t easy. There’s always a bit of a struggle, though some people struggle less than others. Every body is different. And it’s not just the person and/or how we manage our body, but how the inside of the body ticks. As I said in my first getting fit post, ‘time to dump the…

pedi care on a budget

pampering your tootsies while saving some $$

Lately we’ve been taking a close look at our budget and trying to trim the fat. We’ve got a lot going on it life, and sometimes it’s good to take a look at where the extra fluff spending is and see what you can cut out to save and help prepare for what’s coming. (for…

no membership needed workouts – 3 miles in my own living room

weekly weigh-in #sfmgetsfit

First let me say that, though I think we established this in last weeks post, I won’t be going to the gym. Through my weight loss and get fit journey, everything that I’ll be doing will be in my own home, or neighborhood. There are a lot of great workout options out there, without having…

Last night sucked. It was the worst night I’ve had in a long time. I was talking with a girlfriend of mine, and my lower back was in some major pain. Muscles. Hips. Spine. It all hurt. I felt like everything was about to implode at any moment. By the time I got off the…

it’s time to dump the chunk

weekly weigh-in #sfmgetsfit

I’m going to get real. Like, omg scary real. Ready? *cripes I can’t believe I’m saying this out loud* Hopped on the scale this morning and it read 182. Naked. Yeah. And? It’s been like that for a little while now. WiskeyTangoFoxtrot? Well, I can tell you. Lack of exercise. I mean, there’s other reasons…

I’m going to admit to you, last week was almost a complete fail. Almost. While I did exercise every day, I did NOT kick it up a notch as I had hoped. Yoga didn’t happen, not even once, last week. Face time with a gal pal? YES!!! Reading? Well, not my book but I did…
