How to keep the weight off -Shari Fitness

Weight loss can be a perpetual, frustrating, roller coaster.  One week you discover you lost 5 pounds and two week later, you discover you gained back the 5 pounds you lost only to gain another 2 pounds the week after that. Or perhaps you had successfully lost 10-20 lbs or more only to find yourself gaining...

Fat-2-Fit Ten Fitness DO’s!

I have to say the last year has gone by so quickly.  The incredible daily positive encouragement I have received from all of our healthy lifestyle experts was more than critical along this journey. The positive energy in the healthy lifestyle world is one of the most attractive reasons to starve and sweat....

Fat-2-Fit Week #50 (Two More Weeks!)

Two weeks to go. The two biggest obstacles have been Recovery and Energy Levels for consistent daily workouts.  My original excuse of not enough time is funny now.  I seem to make more work-out time now that I have less time than ever with a new office and coaching gig. I am not sure that the pictures or...

Fat-2-Fit Week# 37 Beer or Ice Cream

Beer, Ice Cream, and Nachos.  Fitness and Healthy Living is not that difficult. As promised here are the multiple choice, question and answer subjects that even the fitness world does not want to answer.  Fitness experts tend to communicate in absolutes which can sometimes alienate the average,...

Kale and White Bean Salad

I got the most gorgeously ripe kale last week from my CSA share (Community Sustained Agriculture), and I wanted to do something new ~ try it in a salad as opposed to a sautee or soup, my usual route for this vegetable. It’s got a nice crunch, an interesting texture, and just a touch of bitter, so I...

Fat-2-Fit Week# 34

4 Weeks ago I posed to the experts if it was possible to lose 40 pounds in 26 weeks or less.  Overwhelmingly the answer is yes.  The last 4 weeks have been the beginning of a last ditch effort to make my goal weight in this 52 week series.  My plans have been thwarted and derailed by Holidays,...

Fat-2-Fit Week 30

I only have less than 26 weeks to lose almost 40 pounds.  Is it possible?  What do I need to do to lose that much weight in a short period of time?  Can I do it in a healthy way?  Will the weight loss last?  What are the odds I decide to just give up and eat ice cream all day, everyday for 26 weeks...

Fat-2-Fatter, Week #26

Here we are, exactly one half year into my quest for a healthier life. Please forgive me readers, it has been three weeks since my last Fat-2-Fit confession.  I have fallen into the: ‘I feel better, losing the weight was easy, and I will never go back to my bad eating habits’ false sense of...

Protein and Insanity

I just started doing this crazy hard new workout called Insanity, produced by Beachbody.com. I’ve done some of their other routines with real success ~ Power 90 about 6 or 7 years ago, and P90X just 3 years ago ~ and those are amazing workouts, the latter being crazy hard. However, I’ve never...
