Comment on My Metabolism is like a Frickin Prius by Ginger

Interesting… losing weight is tough! I pretty much continue to work out 6, sometimes 7 days a week and can hold my weight steady. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself. Come and train with me!!

I just turn my head and blow it out right on the street. I rub the remaining bit on my wrist. I notice it in the cold too. I’m so used to it, and I don’t even mind it anymore.

Hey, you are not alone in this. I can gain weight by looking at a cookie. I have discovered I was eating too much of the wrong thing. I figured that since I worked out a lot I needed a lot of pasta and bread ect. I started looking into Glycemic Index and what that means for me and weight gain/loss. To put it simply, I quick eating sugar, bread, pasta and potatoes. I get my carbs from beans and veggies….whala! The weight dropped! And I have plenty of energy from the “slow carbs” found in beans. Sorry if I am on a tangent but I love to share what I found!! You can google Slow-Carb and read about it, see if is something that might work for you!!!

Good luck!

Um, burn it? Great post! I love indulging over the holidays. Of course, I am actually underweight after the stress of a break-up and new job so I’ve been enjoying the pampering by parents this Christmas, guilt-free.

Haha, no not me. Stacey is awesome if anyone needs a coach in the RTP area. I am pulling in her weekly tips automagically by way of a nifty plug in called WP-o-Matic. I hope my readers find the articles useful.

I got so confused for a second. “Wait, when did you start coaching?!”

Merry Christmas Carol!

Yup, you are an Ironman – I believe it is the distance, not the brand.

WTC might sue you for saying it though.

“Carol, you are now an Ironman…” Regardless of whether you do Kona or a local 140.6, I agree that you are an Ironman whether the race is branded or not. It is interesting how one brand dominates the sport, but good to see they are getting competition from Rev3 and other race series
