Resetting the panic button

diet, health and fitness / 5 Comments

This weekend, the scale was not kind to me. I usually don’t weigh myself while I’m on the road, since there isn’t a scale in my hotel room and I like to weigh myself naked, which doesn’t work out so well at the gym. Therefore, I typically only weigh myself when I’m home for a weekend. Weighing myself every two weeks is probably a healthy way to do it anyway, because it decreases dependence on the scale and risks of an eating/exercise disorder. This weekend, I stepped onto the scale on Friday morning… and it was up a few pounds. …

Happy Ab Month!

health and fitness / 7 Comments

I just heard from Runner26 that February is National Ab Month. Yippee! The idea is to do some ab work every day for the month of February (the shortest month!) with the purpose of “strengthening the core for that spring marathon, looking good for vacation, seeing just how many crunches could be done in 28 days, etc.” Since we could all use a little spice in our abs routines, I thought I’d do a little ABsolut(ly) Fit storytelling (sorry, couldn’t resist a super corny pun). Up until I started doing Rachel Cosgrove’s Female Body Breakthrough, I pretty much just did …

A surprisingly simple form of relaxation

health and fitness, travel / 2 Comments

Well, I managed to get my passport (thank you, roomie and FedEx!) and get to Nassau without further incident, but not before starting a fun FlyerTalk thread wherein other frequent fliers offered tips if you too are ever dumb enough to forget your passport when you’re in a different city en route to your international destination. Pretty helpful! Miami was pretty cold – I was wearing my scarf and wool coat when I was outdoors catching the airport shuttle! – but I spent most of the day inside anyway. I debated whether to skip my workout today, given that I’m …

Kicking the week off to a great start

diet, health and fitness, travel / 8 Comments

Today was a busy day! On the diet/exercise front, I did an awesome job. Today ended up being my first day I followed every single one of Rachel Cosgrove’s diet rules – a little silly that it’s taken me this long to get it right 🙂 For those not on the plan, the rules are: Breakfast within 15 mins of waking up Meals every 3-4 hours Different high-quality protein at every meal Fruit or veggie at every meal/snack No processed carbs Use healthy fats/oils freely Eliminate caloric beverages Drink 64 oz water/day Eat whole foods instead of bars/shakes Multivitamin and …

Female Body Breakthrough Base Phase in Review

health and fitness / 4 Comments

While I’m not going to post any pictures until I’ve been doing this long enough where I actually feel like I look awesome in a bikini, I thought I’d at least post a mini-update of how things are going on Rachel Cosgrove’s Female Body Breakthrough. First of all, I am definitely working up a sweat each and every time I do a workout. Boy, I’m telling you – I can really feel a big difference between this and the useless steady-state cardio I used to do! I’m now a firm Rachel Cosgrove anti-cardio believer – hat a waste of time …
