I still have a lot of energy to get out, but am not sure if I have time for any other exercise today. Boo. I am supposed to go to my office Christmas party tonight. It is pretty far from the BF's house and we have a lot of other stuff going on this weekend so I am not sure if we are going to go. ... Read More about Office Christmas Party

I didn't have any ripe naners so I couldn't make oatmeal. Boo. I don't what it is, but I have to have a banana in my oatmeal or it's just not good. But, I didn't want cold cereal so I made french toast with 1/2 egg whites and 2 pieces of bread. I cooked up the rest of the egg whites on the side. All ... Read More about Eat 12/10/2008

Today was an optional run day and I felt good, but wanted to go to Spinning so I decided to do 3 miles. That ended up being 3.5 miles because I was a half a mile from my house when I hit 3 miles, but couldn't just cool down with a walk because it was too cold! I went to my 2nd Spinning class ever ...

Sorry that I am so late posting! Yesterday was crazy. I worked until about 5:45pm, then I went to Linens N' Things to check out the huge sale and stayed there for over 2 hours just browsing around and buying stuff for the house. I only ended up getting 1 Christmas present! Boo. I also had to run ... Read More about Eat 12/10/2008
Run 12/9/2008
So, I repeated the same run I did yesterday - 6 miles, exact same route and everything. This brings a whole new and redundant level to my run,eat,repeat theme doesn't it? Ha. Wouldn't it be funny and unbelievably boring if I ate the exact same things too? Luckily for my readers, that is not the ... Read More about Run 12/9/2008

No that is not chocolate chips on my oatmeal, but it is a crumbled Clif Z Bar! I thought I would change it up and I'm glad I did. I do almost feel bad about eating chocolate for breakie though...I was planning a walk with my peep, Adriel, on lunch so I ate an apple to tide me over until we got back. ...

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

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

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 ...

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…
