When I worked in the corporate world I used to travel, not frequently, but regularly.  Now I am blessed to work for myself and I travel infrequently.  But this week I’ve had to deal with a trip that will last over a week and since I just finished my personal Spring 2001 transformation, I hardly [...]

Last week I turned 52.  I’m pretty proud of that.  Well, more specifically I’m proud of how fit I am as a woman over 50, a woman post menopausal, a woman who at 50 was fat. Turning 50 does not mean you are now on the gradual old age slide to a life of infirmity [...]

Before I started this journey of health and fitness, I would literally sneer at 30-something perky health ‘experts’ that I’d see on TV morning news shows.  Each time the question would come up about why so many menopausal women seemed to either put on a significant amount of weight or found they could not lose [...]

I am regularly approached by people who are not losing weight on the P90X  or Insanity programs.  Most of them are women.  And that’s not surprising because women have a harder time getting a body that’s overweight and prone to put on fat to suddenly turn around and become a fat burner.

This weekend was really busy!  On Saturday I did yard work for about 2.5 hours (some mowing and some beds upkeep).  Then on Sunday we were at a bridal show as vendors.  Bridal shows are a lot of fun but they are a lot of work.  We had special circumstances which required us to show [...]

My family and I took an extended weekend off from most of our normal activities. I have a niece that got married this last weekend and because my husband was part of the wedding, we got invited to the rehearsal dinner. Not much of that was on my diet but the apricot pie was ‘to [...]

I’ve got some recent pictures up on Facebook. They are the same ones you can find here but there I’ve uploaded bigger pictures so you can really see me (just search for FitGirl1958 on Facebook or click on my ‘badge’ in the right hand column on this site). The thing is that I’ve had a [...]

The question I’ve been playing around with mentally is whether it is really possible to turn back time? I mean sure you can lose the weight and look better but can you really grow young again? Had you asked me a year ago my answer would have been ‘NO’.   But a year ago I had [...]
