Week 3 of Walking Curves Training for our first 5k





We are well on our way into training for our first 5k. Walking Curves will be participating in Kaiser Permanente's Corporate Run Walk on Thursday, September 16th. Starting any fitness regimen is always challenging, but when you have the support of somebody else, it takes some of the sting out of the journey.

Check out week 3 of our training session at the Chattahoochee River Trail. I'm so proud to be on this journey with these ladies. They are dedicated to the movement and we encourage each other along the way...

For more information on Walking Curves, see the Walking Curves Mission Tab or email me at walkingcurves@gmail.com

Cheers to a healthier life style,

It's a thin line between love & hate...

Working out has been a thorn in my side for a very long time. I'm trying to learn to reestablish my relationship with fitness and health, on a more consistent basis. Slow and steady as you go, they say...


There have been times when I am on a roll, with being consistent, dedicated, eating well, and feeling good. Then, on the other side of the coin, I DREAD even driving past the gym (lol). Deciding to go to the gym at times, is like the "good" me and the "bad" me sitting on my shoulders, and I'm in the middle, torn, on which on will win. Hate to admit it, but the "bad" me typically gets the "W."


So with the challenges we face with working out, what exercises do you "love" to do, and which ones do you "hate?" Also, what exercises are challenging for you, but you could decide to incorporate more often?

Happy Exercising....(or not, lol)

The "2nd Half" of 2010


Here we are at the beginning of a new month and a little more that half way through 2010. Are there any goals you've set for yourself that you've yet to complete? Or maybe you've considered incorporating new things into your life and have yet to take the plunge. The 2nd half of the year would be a GREAT time to get started. This can be a good marker for you to chart your progress or it can be a good place to restart a few things that need a bit more attention.

Whatever the goal, give more attention to it. Symbolically, "8" is the number of "new beginnings", and with this being the eighth month of the year, go ahead and set some things in motion. It could be that you want to alter some of your eating habits. OK, well challenge yourself to only drinking water with every meal for a week. Next, you could monitor what time you're eating your meals, particularly your evening meal. It's good practice to stop eating 3 hours before bedtime, that way, your food will have an opportunity to digest before you sleep.

Now is the best time in your life, and these are just a few things to think about as we step into the "2nd half" of 2010...Make the most of it!
Got more suggestions? Please post them for others to note... We'd love to hear from you!

See you at the finish line...
