About Me
Hi, my name is Penny and I'm a foodaholic. OK, seriously, I love food. I hate the word "foodie" but I guess that's me. I'm trying to find a way to be able to love food and not be overweight anymore. I work in an inbound call center and help people out when they're going through rough times in their lives. It's important for people with my job to do things they really love when they go home. Unfortunately, doing what I love is making me fat. I need to work on that :)

Good point about the water and cool downs. I’m not finding I get so overheated any more than usual. Maybe I’m getting fitter so that helps? Not sure, but it’s good advice anyway!

Just cut back on calories and keep it within your healthy range the whole time. It’s only a few more weeks. You can do this.

An earlier post about building strength on hills inspired me to ask this question. What workouts can you do off the bike that will help to improve cycling ease and performance?

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Trimthin with the gym in the forum Supplements Reviews 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Thanks! It’s making such a difference. I was a bit nervous that it would wear off over time, but it’s still just as good. I can’t believe there was a time when I had to try to get through a workout without this energy. I feel like I’m finally actually getting somewhere!

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Do any exercises actually burn fat? in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 1 month, 1 week ago
You can burn fat all over your body, and your body might choose to visibly burn more in one area than another, but there’s no way to target it with exercise. If you keep it up, it’ll reach the area you want though.

Penny4Thoughts started the topic Trimthin with the gym in the forum Supplements Reviews 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Combining trimthin with the gym is getting me more out of my sessions. I wanted to share this in case anyone else has found it hard to get powered up before training. I like the energy from this supplement because it’s enough to really get me motivated and moving but not so much that I have that jittery or tight-chest feeling. Anyone else have…[Read more]

I am the exact opposite. I feel like if we combined the two of us, we’d make one healthy lifestyle haha!

Go charge for features or luxe if you want better accessories like bands and things.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Spring tune-up in the forum Cycling Forum 2 months, 2 weeks ago
You could do it yourself. It takes some tools, but only a few basic ones you likely already have. They’re not specialized for bikes or anything. There are a million youtube videos about how to spring tune up your bike. They’ll help you. You can likely do it yourself if you have the time. Unless you find a problem, no real skill is needed. If you…[Read more]

Yes! Keep going. You need both so keep doing both. You’ve got this.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic what to do about grit on roads in the forum Cycling Forum 3 months ago
Unfortunately, I think that’s a patience thing. It’ll get cleared up. For now it’s dangerous. A very good friend of mine is just as antsy to get out on his motorcycle. It’s just too dangerous though. It’s still early in the year. You’ll get out there soon enough and it’ll be great.

Are there any smart fitness devices that are there yet? Are they worth all the money, or should I keep waiting?

That’s good news. Must have been a bit of a scare for you! I hope it’s kept improving. take good care of yourself.

Doing any better now? that sounds really painful and unpleasant? Still running?

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic boots with best treads for ice in the forum Gear Reviews 5 months ago
Look for ones that are designed like winter hiking boots. They’re meant for people who are being active outdoors. You’ll likely have a better shot at finding a good tread that way. Pay close attention to the temperature rating for the boot. It’s not just about keeping your foot warm. It’s like tires. It’s the rating for the performance.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Exercising in sunlight in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 5 months, 1 week ago
Do those light therapy boxes and masks really work for that or are they just a gimmick? My library has a reading station with a light therapy section for people who don’t get enough sunlight, but that thing is a big light, not just a little thing that sits on a desk or right on your face. Do they work?

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic 5-minute workout ideas in the forum Activity Forums 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Thanks! I really did start doing some of those things. I’ve kept them up even as I have more time. So now I do my regular workout, but I squeak in some burpees now and again (not 5 minutes of them for sure!!!) and I do a lot of stairs. I also park farther away so I will be forced to walk a bit more. I’m meeting my step goals almost every day!…[Read more]

At this point…maybe having a good new year plan in mind LOL We’re 2 days away. Hopefully you can’t do too much damage in that time. I wish you a very happy Christmas though!

Penny4Thoughts started the topic 5-minute workout ideas in the forum Activity Forums 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Okay, so for the next 2 weeks, everything is going to get very hectic for me. I want to fit in fitness where I can. Is there such thing as a 5 minute workout that actually does something? Something other than just running on the spot…because i’m not going to do that dozens of times over two weeks. Thank you in advance for your ideas!

If you really can’t resist eating a holiday treat, eat half as much as you intended to. At least it’ll only do half as much damage!
