A lot of people on the blogs have been doing 30-Day challenges. I’ve seen everything from a boot camp to a healthy eating challenge. I love challenges - I’m currently signed up for two on the forums (a Thanksgiving and Christmas challenge). I love setting goals for myself and then reaching them!
Now that my first [...]
I took yesterday off - I was so exhausted from the whirlwind weekend with my parents here, the race, etc. and was super sore all over yestserday… strange. I think it was sore muscles from running like a maniac. I read a lot of a book I just picked up - “The Courage to Start” [...]
I took these on Saturday and finally getting around to posting them… obviously I still have some to lose lol.
(Feb ‘09/210 lbs)
(Sept ‘09/163 lbs)
The last two are unreal to me.
I’ve felt a lot of things over the past 24 hours. Most of all…disappointment! Yeah, I know.
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best run of my life, the race was probably a 1 or 2. I started out way too fast… tired out very quickly on the hill and had [...]
I don’t usually post on weekends, but I just wanted to share this morning’s weight:
163.8
50 POUNDS LOST! BOOYAH!

Official weigh in: 164.6 (hey! I lost a pound this week after all!)
I have been so emotional yesterday and again today. For one, I live in a military town (5 bases here) and we just had a bunch of soldiers come home. It was so cool to see buses of soldiers with police escorts. Everyone [...]
“People begin running for any number of motives, but we stick to it for one basic reason… to find out who we really are.”
Have you ever had one of those friends who’s an “at leaster”? You know, you say something like “this soup I ordered smells like wet dog,” and they respond “AT LEAST you have soup when there are kids starving in Africa!”
Or “These pants don’t look right on me,” and they say “AT LEAST you have [...]
First, let’s talk about that stupid scale. Actually, let’s not. Let’s just leave it at stupid.
My taper was not successful yesterday - I went out for intervals and ended up running the whole 3 miles at a seriously fast pace. Weird how the runs that you expect to be horrible end up being good. And [...]
The scale and I are about to have a major come-to-Jesus talk if it doesn’t start cooperating soon!
I’ve bounced between 166 and 165.4 for the past 5 days. It’s like it KNOWS that 163 (50 lbs gone FOREVER) is right around the corner and it’s. seriously. taunting. me. It could be that my water intake [...]
