Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

I can't believe February is officially over!  Although I didn't accomplish my goal of an entire month of movement, I must say I am pretty darn proud of myself.  I exercised 24 out of 28 days, and even if you don't count the days where I cleaned instead of doing a workout, I still exercised… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up

Month of Movement: Week 3 Wrap Up

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

Well, this week was my first official week with two no movement days.  And while I am frustrated that I missed two days, I am also really proud of myself.  I mean... we're talking going from working out 3 days a week at the maximum since August 2013, and most weeks not working out at… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 3 Wrap Up

Month of Movement: Week 2 Wrap Up

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

I can't believe that February is halfway over!  My body has been a-movin-and-a-groovin this past week.  Here's a summary... Housework. Housework. Ran on the track at the gym. ZUMBA! Plus danced in my living room. :) Ran on the track at the gym. Ran mile outside to get ready for my 5k race then ZUMBA!… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 2 Wrap Up

Month of Movement: Week 1 Wrap Up

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

So I made it through my first week of my "Month of Movement".  I had a lot of excuses to give up - I was planning a party, getting ready for an event, and to top it all off the State came in for our annual survey at work.  But I didn't give up.  I… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 1 Wrap Up

Month of Movement

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

I can't believe that it is already February.  January flew by!  Especially the last two weeks... and I have no blog entries to show for it.  I also haven't been using MyFitnessPal and I missed a week of Zumba.  Oh and we won't talk about my project 365... :( I have fallen into the resolutioner… Continue reading Month of Movement

Weekly Wrap Up #3

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

Another week has gone by - can you believe it?  January is almost half over!  While I definitely feel myself "slowing down" a bit, I'm still trying to keep up with my goals for 2014. We are still waiting for the state to show up at work, which kinda throws me off.  It has helped… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up #3

What I Ate Wednesday

What I Ate Wednesday #7

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

I almost forgot about this today!  I was trying to think of a creative photo for my Project 365 picture of the day, then remembered I needed to do this.  So I captured pictures of what I ate today, plus a bonus! This morning I could have slept in, but I woke up at 6am.  I didn't… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday #7

Weekly Wrap Up #2

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

Well here we are, almost a full week into the New Year.  I have been working hard towards my goals for 2014 and have even added some new ones. This weekend was a productive one for me, even though we have been dumped on with snow since last night.  Right now it is looking like… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up #2

Keeping It Real: Hello? Is this thing on?

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

So about those goals for 2013... I am really sucking at them.  I haven't written a blog since May, and it is now October.  But like they say, better late than never, and my friends and life in general has inspired me to write a new post. A lot has happened since I last posted.… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Hello? Is this thing on?

Keeping It Real: Eating Smart vs. Dieting

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

I would be lying if I said I didn't watch what I eat.  Call it pseudo-dieting if you will, but I keep a food and exercise diary at MyFitnessPal.com.  I find it more interesting to see whether I am getting in the nutrition that I need - vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc. - rather than watching… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Eating Smart vs. Dieting

Being Brutally Honest With Yourself

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

While I'm watching the season premiere of Biggest Loser, I thought it would be appropriate to discuss a blog post that a friend of mine shared on her Facebook the other day:  The Public Humiliation Diet.  It goes right along with Biggest Loser - I have a love/hate relationship with this show.  I love watching… Continue reading Being Brutally Honest With Yourself

Getting Past Setbacks

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

So I posted not too long ago about a challenge that I was going after - a 6 week 5k training plan.  I went into the challenge head on and hard - I pushed myself to run at a faster pace and I completed the first week of the workout.  On the very last workout… Continue reading Getting Past Setbacks

My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

I'm not new to running.  I've been a "runner-in-progress" for over 4 years now.  My running started in January 0f 2008 when a friend of mine, Heather, decided to get healthy and lose weight.  We started working out together, which included running.  I remember a huge sense of accomplishment with her when I ran my… Continue reading My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k
