... I got through several magazines this week (Self July2011, Health Nov2012 & March 2013, Fitness Feb2013, March2013 & April 2013, Women's Health Nov2012 & Nov2013). I enjoyed browsing them all, but nothing made enough of an impact to be included here. I did find some online stuff I thought I'd share:
- Two blogs I follow discussed "Cheat Days" this past week. Do you cheat? Here are the links to the blog posts... Fit to the Finish & Sky n Surf
- In my local newspaper, there was an article How I Lost One Jean Size in Less than 24 Hours Without Working Out or Dieting ... no, it's not an ad for the latest miracle pill, just a humorous look at vanity sizing.
- If you haven't read (or even if you have) Michael Pollan's books (Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food) there is a quick overview of the highlights by Ella on her Nutritionella blog.
- Hailey's Helpful Hints gives an overview of the different Tummy Types and top tips on taming them. What kind of belly bulge are you struggling with?
- Strength and Sunshine gathered all the different Plank Variations on her blog. I also stumbled upon another good article How To Do The Perfect Plank with some good fixes for common plank problems.
- A Fluffy Girl asks "Where There Fluffy Women At?" and it's something to think about.
With Halloween approaching, I thought I'd share this article about Alternatives to Halloween Candy. Just an option if you didn't want to bring candy into your house, or encourage the eating of it elsewhere. There were some ideas that I think kids would really like.
Another inspiring article from our local paper.

Hi Jen! I honestly think the Dove ad also had women who are far more fit and trim than the average woman's figure--I'm just saying this from years of seeing a variety of women in the women's gym locker room. Many women don't look like (or as good as) the Dove women in their underwear. So it isn't exactly realistic either, though it's better than underweight models.
ReplyDeleteI have a cheat meal about two to four times a month usually. I let myself eat whatever I want and as much as I want. I think this helps me not to feel deprived and I believe it helps my metabolism keep from going into starvation mode.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Halloween candy, I have firmly made up my mind that Halloween is for children, and that includes the treats. My duties as an adult are to chaperone and pass out the candy. And that's that!
