30 days…

Yesterday I weighed myself 4 times.

I’ve been able to go one week and not step on the scale. When that week was over I went back to getting on that damn little square box 5 – 6 times a day. Next I went two weeks without getting on the scale. When that […]

Meet Kay and her son Jake

It’s interesting how you come to meet people in your life and then find out later there is a purpose to that meeting. Kay and I met at the gym a while back after she started her sessions with Godfather. I’m an early bird. Kay is an even earlier bird. I have the 6a […]

OWiS #39…

I spent two weeks staying away from the scale.I didn’t look at it. I didn’t think about it (okay I did think about it but it got a lot easier as time went on). In those two weeks I did some pretty awesome things like run 8 miles in 80 minutes and complete my […]

What’s in a number?

Numbers are very important to me.

On this LCJ they’ve become the way I measure my success and my failures. They’ve become my constant reminder that I am trying to make some changes in my life that will hopefully get rid of the fat that I’ve carried around for most of my life […]

Meet Natalie and Olivia

Today’s run is dedicated to Natalie and her niece Olivia!

Olivia was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 2 years old. It was a scary time for all of us, but most especially for my brother and my sister-in-law. Olivia is their youngest child. As a baby she was a very vivacious happy […]

OWiS #37, a new label, a new category,

Dear Body,

When you and I committed to this journey back in December it was the absolute most important decision we’ve ever made together. Absolute most important. Remember how we used to laugh and joke about “oh it’s going to take forever to lose weight” and we would swear under our breath as […]

Better or Worse

One of the great things about having Godfather as a trainer is just when you feel like giving in, he says something that just clicks. On Wednesday I walked into the gym thinking I was going to have a somewhat mellow hour. I was super exhausted and pretty sore after a Tuesday filled with […]
