I'm generally a big fan of Groupon. Each day, I check my e-mail, see what the local "deal of the day" is and more often than not, don't buy it. Having said that, it's a great way to see who's doing what in Anchorage. This morning, I did my usual log-in and saw this nonsense: Weight-Loss Hot Pants! Seriously?!?!! What's more disturbing is that more than 240 of these ridiculous things … [Read more...]
AWOL from Boot Camp
Last week was not a particularly brutal Bridal Boot Camp week for me. I only got 2 workouts in all week. I do, however consider this a successful week. Why? I maintained my good eating and I still got 2 workouts in. I also accomplished a HUGE goal! I successfully moved all of my stuff into Anchorage:) Not a minute too soon, either. It was pouring rain in Girdwood on Sunday, and … [Read more...]
Boot Camp Continues!
Yikes! Down to 54 days! Last week was a good week for my own personal bridal boot camp. I ran on Monday (you may remember my sprint to pick up my car after having my tires changed over). I followed this with Boot Camp classes on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I've been keeping up with my snacks, making sure I've got my lunch with me every day and keeping up with my Physique … [Read more...]
Kids Are Suffering and Dying Young…How You Can Change All That!
Happy Wednesday, On Monday, I read a scary article in the Anchorage Daily News. (The link to the article is at the end of this.) It was also picked up and was run on the first page of the Anchorage Daily News on Monday. And it breaks my heart! Kids and Diabetes. It's becoming epidemic in our society. A full 30% of our kids are overweight and/or obese. "So what?" you … [Read more...]
Bridal Boot Camp Day 1
The best laid plans of mice and men! I didn't make it to boot camp today, but I didn't miss my first day. This morning, I dropped my car off at Continental Volvo for the semi-annual tire change and less frequent than recommended oil change. They very kindly dropped me off at my office via the shuttle and I realized that they are only about 2 miles from AlaskaFit. They called this … [Read more...]
Sixty Day Plan…It Starts Monday!
Technically, Monday is sixty-ONE days until my wedding, but I figure if I'm not ready by the day before, not much will change overnight. I know, I know, there are thousands (maybe even millions) of weight-loss and body-perfecting potions, pills and other snake-oil that claim they will make me perfect overnight, but as you know...I don't believe in that. So, as of Monday, I'm experimenting … [Read more...]
The Countdown Continues!
Wow! The days are flying! Marq and I registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond (BBB) on Saturday. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be thanks to Megan, our bridal shopper. She was wonderful and very helpful, but I didn't envy her taking us through the store. The conversation went something like this, "Do you need a pasta pot?" "We have 2 of those." "What about a roasting … [Read more...]
…And On and On
Wow! Almost a week has gone by. We're down to 68 days. I thought I'd be able to do this every day, but apparently not. Thank you to everyone who responded to my plea:) I've got leads on cakes and got some fantastic suggestions for how to feed 60 people on a budget. You are fantastic! The apartment search is a little daunting, but doable. I looked at a place on Friday and another … [Read more...]
Big Goings on Going On
I don't usually use my AlaskaFit blog for personal updates, but lately, there's been a lot going on in my life and I think it makes sense to share it with you. I'm also hoping you can help me with a few things...read on:) As many of you know, I'm getting married on June 30, to the most wonderful man in the world, Marq Grabowski:) Well, June 30 is only 74 days away. For the most part, … [Read more...]
