Looking back I wish I had kept a spreadsheet with my weigh-ins/measurements. I track it on My Fitness Pal but there is no easy way to look back and see how far you’ve come. I might make this a little project and try to determine my weight/measurements from the beginning and input Read more…
I know.. I have been missing in action for quite sometime. I have abandoned all my challenges. I am trying to be as stress free as possible and somethings have just had to go by the wayside. I am focusing on eating better and working out more, rather than some Read more…
Here is February’s challenge: Work that Core! As a runner it is important to have a strong core. I noticed when I was working on my core, I was running faster and feeling better. I got off track around the holidays and now is the time to re-introduce that core Read more…
My challenge for January was to run more. Simple, basic and easy to do right? Wrong. I ran. But not as much as I would have liked. I had a few setbacks including being sick a few times. No excuses though. I should have done better. There is always next Read more…
Sunday the 20th I participated in my first Rock and Roll Marathon. Granted I only did the mini marathon (5.4 miles) but it is something I’ve wanted to do since I moved here. Although my first, it was the 10th anniversary. I felt like it was a great time to Read more…

Yesterday, after much back & forth, I participated in the Hot Chocolate 5K. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. I had originally signed up for the race about a month ago, forgot (or rather didn’t realize) that it was this past weekend. I ran Read more…
This week I met a personal goal of mine. I ran my first, official 5K. I went home for Thanksgiving and I happened to be there when my college held its 5K. I never did it when I lived there. I was never confident enough in my running to sign Read more…
Sometimes I feel like just giving up. I don’t feel like I will ever lose all this weight. Does anyone else go through this? I see the success others have, losing much more than I need to, and I have a hard time believing that I will ever reach my Read more…
