One more week!

Diane R:



One week to go!  This has definitely been a great kick-start for me. I’m definitely encouraged to keep going.  My Girl Scout troop is also working on a fitness badge and will hopefully be coming to Alex for a kids session. 

I read once, that the time of day you exercise works better for different individuals. I can’t remember if the article meant physically or mentally “better.” But I was thinking about it this past week after having a morning session. I personally like working out in the morning better. It energizes me and makes me feel accomplished early in the day.  I struggle with stopping whatever I’m doing in the middle of the day to go exercise. However, it did make me stop and refocus mid-day and relieved any stress that might have been going on that particular day. What are your thoughts?

Feeling very hopeful for our last week!

Leslie's Weight Loss Journey

Denni asked me to write something about my recent weight loss, why and how I did it. So here it is: Just over three years ago, I went to the doctor when I was ill, and she did some blood tests. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. She said I needed to lose a lot of weight. I was in danger of a stroke or heart attack if I didn't lose weight and eat in a more healthy way. We decided what a healthy weight range would be for me, and the amount I needed to lose. It was: 100 pounds! It took me three years, but last August, I reached my goal weight. I also reduced my high blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. People ask me all the time what my secret was. It's simple really. I ate less, and I exercised more. Yes, that's really what I did. In addition to cutting calories, because of my test results, I also had to reduce my salt intake, and the amount of sugar and unhealthy fat I was eating. I downloaded an app to my ...

Ann's Tips for Getting a Couch Potato Out to Exercise

I enjoy some kinds of exercise, but I find the mental monotony of some activities is worse than any physical discomforts. I'm a classic nerd, and would much rather be soaking up a book, a movie, or the junk I read on the internet than making laps on a track. However, I've found that I can often combine my favorite activities with an exercise and make them both better for me. Here are some of the things I do to entice myself to exercise: Indulging my inner artist. I would love to make art, but with no training and very little talent in drawing or painting, my efforts are mostly a waste of art supplies and time. However, I have a good camera I take on the trail. I carry it and its extra lens in a small backpack that has room for a water bottle, and I pause on trail walks to photograph the plant life and animals I see along the way. I've managed to capture plants I've never seen before, impossibly blue skies, heart-shaped wild vines, deer, honeybees, and some inte...

Public Skate at Center Ice

 We had 87 community members come out & skate Saturday at Center Ice in Delmont. Thank you for the great turnout. And thank you to Center Ice for hosting us! Our ankles are a little sore and we’re all a little more tired, but it was worth it for the exercise and seeing people out in January.
