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 :)

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Running is keeping my mood better in the forum Activity Forums 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Keep it up. You can do this. post here if you need a bit of motivation, because I know there will always be people here to cheer you on. This time of year really can be so hard, but you’ve got the best attitude to get through it at your best. Remember that it’s okay if you don’t feel full of sunshine every minute. It doesn’t mean that won’t…[Read more]

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic are orthotic shoe insoles worth it? in the forum Gear Reviews 3 weeks, 3 days ago
You might or might not need them. ask a good podiatrist, not just some store that sells them and is all about insole sales. Make sure to follow the directions to get used to them. That’s very important because you’ll just hurt yourself otherwise.

Thanks! I’ll definitely try them both when there’s a sale on them so I can compare. I’ll try to remember to post here about which one I like.

Thanks! Just saw they are both on sale. Might try them both and wait for the next sale to stock up on whichever one ends up being best!

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic I'm going to try something new in the forum Weight Loss Programs 1 month, 2 weeks ago
I’d love it if you’d check in and share how things are going. This is something I’d ideally like to try, but it sounds expensive and like a lot of work.

Looking for a good energy pill I can take when I wake up so I can be energized fast to do my workout first thing in the morning before I do anything else. No spam please. Im’ not going to follow your links. I just want to know about people’s experiences.

Thanks! I honestly wouldn’t have thought of that idea about warming up the clothes. I started just by doing it with socks and it made a difference!!! I don’t have a programable thermostat…but now I really want one haha

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Feeling off/tired all the time in the forum Health Forums 2 months, 2 weeks ago
If you’re really exhausted and off all the time, I really think you should talk to your doctor, especially if it’s lasting more than a few days. hopefully it’s absolutely nothing but it could be something minor that you can fix, like a nutrition imbalance or your thyroid or something that can be corrected without anything massive and cheaply too.

How do I get up the motivation to exercise in the morning when it’s so much colder in the morning now? All I want to do is stay in bed and then if I drag myself out, I just want to stay indoors. Where does the motivation come from?

Penny4Thoughts started the topic Will I run faster with an energy pill? in the forum Health & Fitness Reviews 3 months ago
Considering an energy pill to stop me from feeling so exhausted when I workout. Does an energy pill’s performance support include helping me to run faster? Or is that asking too much from something like that?

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic How many laps is the same as a good walk in the forum Swimming Forum 3 months, 2 weeks ago
If you’re going at a fast pace, maybe 2/3 as long as you’d normally walk would be my guess. I’m not sure. I’d guess that though.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Jamieson vitamin D3 softgels review in the forum Health & Fitness Reviews 3 months, 3 weeks ago
That’s a relief to know. I felt like that might be the case, but it’s such a weird thing that I didn’t want to be eating vitamin supplements that were slowly going rancid or something. They don’t have a funny smell or anything. I guess that’s just how they are. Thanks!

Penny4Thoughts started the topic Jamieson vitamin D3 softgels review in the forum Health & Fitness Reviews 4 months ago
I have taken vitamin d3 every day for years because my doctor recommends it and it looks like even if she’s wrong, there is very little risk of it actually causing harm. So in case it helps, I take it. I go for cheap gels or liquid/oil forms because I’ve heard those are the ones most likely to be absorbed while tablets and harder pills will often…[Read more]

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Is there a guided program for the Mediterranean Diet? in the forum Weight Loss Programs 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I think it’s more of an eating style than a set diet. I think you’re pretty much on your own in terms of deciding just how you interpret it. The Mayo Clinic has a good article about how to do it if you check out their site.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic How do you know what's behind bloating? in the forum Health Forums 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Oh man, that’s the worst. I think it’s usually water retention and/or gas. I’d say hydrate, eat your fiber, and hydrate again. Do what you can to make sure you’re going to the bathroom regularly and to stop yourself from retaining water by eating too much salt and not enough water. If that clears it and you keep up the habit and it doesn’t come…[Read more]

Protein powder is gross. If you want quick protein in good quality and with a lot of other vitamins and minerals, eat a boiled egg.

Lots and lots of water. SOunds like there’s not enough moisture going through to soften everything up.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Trimthin with the gym in the forum Supplements Reviews 5 months, 2 weeks ago
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!

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic I need to lose as much weight as I can in 1 month in the forum Weight Loss Forums 5 months, 4 weeks ago
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?
