When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade…

Throw the damn glass at it!!!

This post is long in coming, but has taken forever to actually leave my brain, travel down my fingers onto the keyboard and make it to this blog. I’m still at a loss for words over what has transpired over the last week or so but I […]

OWiS #26

There is so much going on in my life right now (physically, emotionally and mentally) that I’m having a hard time sitting down and putting it into words. I have a much longer (more winded) post coming about this past week but need a few hours of alone time to really get it all […]

Coach Chuck

I really want to read everyone’s blog right now but also want to post about my upcoming appointment on Friday. There is no word yet on Superman as of today (Tuesday). So I’ve decided to go ahead and schedule a session with another trainer for this coming Friday. I knew who I had in […]

New classes / The run that almost wasn’t / Superman

I made some immediate goals for this past weekend. One was to spend at least 90 minutes at the gym both Saturday and Sunday. The other was to try the some new classes offered at the gym. To know me is to know I don’t do well in social situations. I avoid them like […]

OWiS #25

I went to bed thinking there wouldn’t be much of a loss. The last thing I thought about before drifting into la-la land was how I felt when I crossed over the finish line last Saturday and knew I had beat my last time by 40 seconds. I think my body got excited by the […]

Pre OWiS #25 week in review!

It’s that time again.

Time where I review my week in anticipation of tomorrow OWiS. This will be #25 since starting this journey. This week has seen some great accomplishments and yet tonight I feel out of sorts. I was supposed to meet with Superman today but he had to cancel at the […]

N(on) S(cale) V(ictory) / swag!

I think the world of weight loss blogging needs to have more NSV (non-scale victory) so I’m adding my own to today’s post. In December of 2009, my niece (who I am absolutely obsessed over and would punch a brother in the face if they hurt her in any way) bought me the cutest pair […]

The highway of depression

I spent seven years on this highway. I got on this road right after an emotional break up when I was 31. I walked into my doctors office, filled out a questionnaire measuring my level of depression (off the charts) and was given a prescription for Paxil. Within 6 months I was […]

5k recap / vibrams update / stuff

My number was 6605

It was spectacular on so many levels. First off it was a huge turnout or at least huge in my eyes. There were 850+ runners for the 5k portion and 2500+ runners for the 12k. This was serious business. How did I know that? There was no pre-run beer […]
