I  am 53 years old, an online college student in the Doctoral degree specializing in Homeland Security. Recently, I have been plateauing the last months all due to being on the ketogenic diet. It has its drawbacks if you cheat you have to start over and that by itself is quite frustrating..  2 years ago  I started my diet at 470-450 and from there I have made it down to 330. Lately, I have been going up and down and my thyroid issue keeps me from losing and I seem to gain back some of my…

my first day.

I am having a hard time finding time 2 log on here! In my old job, as a nanny, I had 3 hour breaks every day during nap time, and which I could log on, or do homework. Or even take a nap if I needed it! Now, even though my job is only six hours, I rarely get a break at all. This term I am taking two classes and my homework is extensive. It looks like in one of my classes I will have to read a novel and write a page or two essay on that novel every week! I love to read, and I love to write, but…

Hi!

My name is Jen and I am so excited to get started!

Yes, this is a two fer one blog.  You see, yesterday our internet service failed me completely, and I could not get into Fitera at all!   I had a busy day at our service assignment, and while in the building, I climbed a few stairs for a short period of exercise and I had planned to do a Fitera workout when I got home, but with the internet down, that didn't happen.  However, because years ago I had downloaded a book called 'Ultimate Guide to Stretching and Flexibility' by Brad Walker, I was…

I am a newcomer to this site and am looking forward to becoming healthier and looking my best on this fat loss journey.

Never had a personal trainer before, so really excited about that both from the assistance but also from the accountability level.

Call me a 'late bloomer' but I'm in this for the long haul.

I am so excited about the stretching challenge this week!  Why?  Because last week I had a 1&1/2 hour deep massage because my muscles were so tight.  While I usually do a couple of stretches after exercising, I know I don't give my old muscles the attention they really need.  I have been having some constant abdominal pain since this morning, so I did not do a regular workout, but I did  stretch for approx.10 minutes.  Other than stomach pain, I feel great right now!  Today I mainly focused on…

I love yoga poses, but my favorite stretch is Raja kapotasana (king pigeon pose) . I found it when I had sciatica pain. It's difficult,  but amazing.  

What are some stretches YOU enjoy?
