I'm conflicted about eating more for breakfast and lunch...part of me is happy that I get to eat more (ha, that is tragic) and the other part of me is stressed that I'm going to just continue to overeat later in the day & now I'm just adding more calories to my daily intake. I just added up my ... Read More about Adding it up…

The Sleep Diet
I am a girl who needs 8 hours of sleep a night, but I haven't been getting it for a long time. I think I need to recommit myself to getting to bed at 9:30pm (isn't that sad?) on work nights. There was an article in Glamour magazine in February where 7 readers were told to get at least 7 and a half ... Read More about The Sleep Diet
Invites – check
We finally finished putting together the invites and they should be out tomorrow :) It feels so good to be able to check something off my list! Today was pretty crazy at work & I had to wait in the l-o-n-g-e-s-t line at the Post Office. w/o: 6 great miles :) I felt fast the whole time (that ... Read More about Invites – check
Do you eat rabbit?

I like you
While on my long run this morning I thought, "I like my blog readers, I should tell them this..." It was one of those random, yet deep and meaningful thoughts that run through your brain as you are running through the streets by yourself. I know that there are a ton on blogs out there and I totally ... Read More about I like you
I'll spare you
the pics of my toe nails (or lack thereof) - one of them finally dropped me like a bad habit. I normally don't have problems with black toe nails. My recent toe nail tragedy is because of the marathon Feb 2nd - and it barely fell off last Sunday!!! (I do still have that big blue one from my can ... Read More about I'll spare you
Capital TGIF
You have no idea how happy I am that it's Friday. This was a really rough week for me! Luckily it didn't show on the scale. (I am weighing in on Fridays.) Today I was the same as the Friday before last (last Friday I was up actually). So, I'm not losing weight, but I'm not gaining - which makes me ... Read More about Capital TGIF
Finding God
Hola Chicas y Chicos, today was a lot better than yesterday - but still crazy! I took bites of things I didn't picture, but I am working on it. I need to find God(probably on more than one level). I read in an article recently that people who were trying to lose weight did best when they had to ... Read More about Finding God
Let's play pretend
Can we pretend like yesterday didn't happen? Because I was working from home (alone), super stressed and ate half a carton of ice cream. It's been a really long time since I've had that bad of a binge & I know it's stress related since I ate pretty well earlier in the day. Boo. I hate that this ... Read More about Let's play pretend

The Glass Menagerie
I don't know if I've mentioned it, but I am a little crazy. And apparently, so are members of my family, like my brother Michael. He came home with another animal today! We have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 fish, 2 lizards and now... a guinea pig! Meet Piglet: I got home around 7:30pm today starving. Once ... Read More about The Glass Menagerie
Poll for Terence
My friend Terence went to the doctor yesterday and had a scare. His resting heart rate is 36 and the doctor seemed concerned. He runs regularly and is training for a half mary, so I chalk it up to that, but he wants me to take a poll: Q: What is your resting heart rate? If you answer very low ...

Cramping my style
I used to get the worst cramps in my calves. They were so bad they would leave bruises on my legs! It was painful and didn't look very attractive either! I was vegan at the time & it took me a while to realize I wasn't getting all the vitamins/nutrients my body needed. It was nothing a ... Read More about Cramping my style
No Pic Rule
I am making a commitment to eat from a plate & while sitting down, so it should be easier for me to take pics of all my food - not just meals & planned snacks like I do now. Since this was day one I slipped up a bit & have noted where I did not plate/picture my eats. I must break this ... Read More about No Pic Rule

This week I am focusing on 2 things... 1. Eat more calories at Breakfast & Lunch - she wants me to shoot for 600 ... Read More about Cupcake Tease
