Fuck cancer.
I am running the 5k because nobody should have to ever hear the word “cancer.” Especially 25-year-old women.

t-minus two days…

194.4 this morning. Did that Wendys debacle do more damage than I thought? At least the scale is moving in the right direction. I will have to push it hard today at the gym. At least one hour. No less!
So I’m supposed to fly home on Saturday but now they’re saying we’re in for a [...]

Sammich, my love…

Today I went to Jimmy Johns for lunch. That’s three (3, tres, III, whatever) times I’ve eaten out this week so far. Yeah, yeah, I did well with the Chipotle, and my JJ sandwich was 550 calories (I only had a bowl of cheerios for breakfast), but still. That turkey sandwich tasted like heaven. I [...]

So, remember my former trainer? (this is a good post, too)
Last night I walked into the gym and the owner called me over. He asked if I had trained with Robert, and how I had paid for it. I told him $100 of it was in cash, and $50 was on my credit card. Apparently, [...]

Yesterday was awesome! Ok, so, the weather was fantastic so DH and I went to Garden of the Gods and decided to try and run the 5k route to see how much we could really do. This is the same 5k route that the Komen 5k will be doing in September. We finished in 36:30 [...]

Derailed

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Easter weekend was good. We didn’t meet with our friends so we could head to Denver and buy a car. We ended up with this 4runner that I’d had my eye on, so after 10 years, goodbye junky car that doesn’t drive in the snow! I love it and am really happy with it. It’s [...]

What?

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I heard something about the blogs disappearing? but can’t find anything on the forum..hmm….
Well, if that’s the case, I have another blog (http://chubbyto5k.blogspot.com) that chronicles my running attempts so you guys can always find me on there if this blog disappears.
For official weigh in, I was 193.0. Pretty solid, and I’m happy. I [...]

A good way to look at it

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Deep thoughts by Fat Pants

I keep a spreadsheet of my daily weight. Each month has its own tab and I even get a little nerdy and create a graph that plots the points of my weight loss. Sometimes it helps to have a visual that things are going generally in a downward direction, so when I get frustrated on [...]

Survey says….

Contact dermatitis! My dermatologist didn’t quite know what was causing it, but she gave me a prescription cortizone for it. It’s already going away (good thing), so hopefully it’ll clear up in the next two weeks. If not, I have to go back in for a biopsy (bad thing). Skin cancer runs in my family [...]
