Scare-off Challenge - day 2

Weight:155.6
Yesterday I figure (through My Daily Plate) that I ate around 1500 calories. Which mentally has me in sort of a panic because that is a high calorie day for me, which makes two in a row. But I had all really healthy food (except for the two marshmellow ghosts made by the Peep people, [...]

Confessions of an Overachiever

Weight: 154.4
I’m not eating enough. There. I said it. I know my calories are way too low. Like probably below 800. Ok, definitely below 800. This is a problem I have. When I finally start losing weight, I get addicted to seeing that number go down everyday. And I gradually eat less and less and [...]

Why are there no Tuesday songs?

Weight: 154.6
Skye woke up every four hours last night, that’s when her pain meds would wear off. Being woken up by a sobbing 5 year old several times does not make for a restful night’s sleep. Difference is, she gets to stay home and nap all day. I have to go to work. UGH. At [...]

It’s 10K Eve Day

This afternoon I’m cutting out of work a bit early and heading up to my sister’s. We are both running in our first 10K tomorrow morning!! I’ve laid off my knee all week and hope that’s enough to get me through. I’ve packed my knee brace and a truckload of determination!!
This morning for breakfast I [...]

Boot Camp - day 28

I got hit today with some major financially devastating news. It has left me reeling and I don’t know what to do. It’s my own fault for not asking the right questions and making some basic assumptions. I don’t know how I’m going to make it month to month. And in March it’s going to [...]

Boot Camp - day 22

I don’t have work today. My grandparents want to take my family out for breakfast this morning. Which sounds really sweet of them, and it is. However, the logistics are somewhat of a nightmare. They live in an assisted living home and can’t drive (my grandpa turned 88 a couple weeks ago, grandma is 87.) [...]

Boot Camp - day 21

Details of today’s 6 mile run HERE! Oh yeah, that’s not a typ-o SIX FREAKIN’ MILES, BABY!!
I don’t have much time to post right now. I also updated the Boot Camp stats and pics page. Only 2 lbs. But this was a hard 10 days with lots of setbacks and obstacles and anything that wasn’t [...]

Boot Camp - day 14

Details of today’s long run HERE.
I promise my body that I WILL eat fruits, veggies and healthy food today. It’s not too happy about yesterday’s fare. But to be honest, sometimes that day off is exactly what our body needs. If nothing else, to confirm that what we’re doing the rest of the time is [...]

Boot Camp -day 13

Ok, so a day off was exactly what I needed. That pain in my calves is gone. Well, I haven’t gone on my run yet this morning, I’ll be heading out as soon as I finish this. But I’ve gotten up and walked around the house, turned my legs this way and that, even did [...]

Boot Camp - day 12

I woke up this morning with major pain in my inner calves. I’ve been having this pain in mild form over the last couple of days, but didn’t think anything of it. It felt like a tightness, now it feels like more. So I did some googling and my lack of a true rest day [...]
