Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

I love this ad for a bicycle trainer.

It tells me to train myself every day. Since the weather in Salt Lake has turned frigid and foggy, I brought my bike inside on the trainer, but it just doesn’t feel as good to ride indoors as it does when I’m out on the trails. I’ve had a hard time getting myself to get my butt on the bike.

I guess I need to imagine an entire team cheering me on.

If you are looking for inspiration this month, pick up People Magazine. I found it very motivational.

This article about fruit for dessert gave me some good ideas. One caveat, however: fruit IS zero points on Weight Watchers now, but these desserts are NOT. You must add points for the extra ingredients they’ve included.

Don’t miss the story of Drew Carey’s weight loss. I had seen him on The Price Is Right and wondered about his health. Since no one was making a big deal about his weight loss, I worried that he might be sick. It’s nice to know that he took his health in his own hands and dropped the weight using a plan from his doctor.

I wish People did a version of this magazine EVERY month and gave us more detail about these people who have lost weight in such a healthy way. I need this kind of motivation all year long, not just in January.
