Lacey had some questions for me after my Ongoing Weight Loss post. They were very thought provoking for me and I want to answer them in a post instead of just in the comments. (I hope she doesn’t mind.) Lacey, thanks for the response. I don't have a problem answering personal questions because I ... Read More about On Going Weight Loss Follow Up

Run 12/8/2008
Morning and Happy Monday :) Christmas is getting closer and I'm getting excited! This morning I did 6 miles and 8 minute abs. I felt full of energy and kept a good pace (for me). It was 55 degrees out this morning. That is super cold for me, but when I am running I warm up so fast that I always ... Read More about Run 12/8/2008
Eat 12/7/2008
Sunday breakfast! This is a change from the norm - I had a big pancake with PB for breakfast and pineapple on the side. The BF impressively cut the pineapple - first he cored it, cut the skin off and finally cut it into chunks. The pancake was from Hodgson Mill, their Multi-grain pancake mix. The BF ...

Eat 12/7/2008
Before my long run I had half a spiced pumpkin pie Clif bar, and ate the rest when I got back. After the run I took way too long to eat a real meal. I didn't eat until 2 and a half hours later! That is a big no-no for me. I hope I don't feel it on my next fun. When I finally did eat I had a BIG ... Read More about Eat 12/7/2008

Today was a long run. Did I mention that I didn't check my training plan last weekend and just assumed I was supposed to run 17 miles, up 1 mile from the week before? Well, I wasn't. Last weekend was supposed to be a step back week and I should have done 11! WTF. No wonder my legs were trying to ... Read More about Run 12/6/2008
My ongoing weight loss journey…
My main goal for this blog has always been to help me lose weight. My struggle with weight loss and loving my body has been going on since high school. Growing up, I was always chubby; sometimes more, sometimes less - but always a little overweight at least. So I have always seen myself as fat. ... Read More about My ongoing weight loss journey…
Nike Ad on Competitor Magazine
I found this new Nike ad on the back of Competitor magazine. (Competitor is a mag that had info about athletes and races in the area. I get it a Jamba Juice for free.) I loved it so much I read it out loud to the boyfriend and anyone else who would listen. I hope you get inspired by it too... "You ... Read More about Nike Ad on Competitor Magazine

No Run - Today is a rest day since I have a long run tomorrow morning. I wanted to make it to yoga, but didn't :(. I did go for a long walk and stretch out a little. Hmmm, I don't know what else I should do but I still have a lot of energy to get out. Maybe the BF will want to take a walk later ... Read More about Run 12/5/2008

Chocolate Coconut Chew Larabar
Okay it had been a good long while since I've had a Larabar. Since I received my new stash I have thought about which one I should bust open first. I tried the coconut cream pie one in my oatmeal a couple of days ago, but I don't think that counts because I used it as a topping and not the main ... Read More about Chocolate Coconut Chew Larabar
