Two weeks training and feeling good! Started week three this week and I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been working on my swim and using a High Elbow Catch to improve my swim. Definitely different muscles, as my forearm was sore. Ha! It’s made a huge difference already in my time, so I’m quite excited. … Continue reading

Oh Body…
I lost 4lbs this past week! FOUR! The differences? I cut out high sugar fruit and Bourbon…and kept with my training. Saturday I drank Bourbon but still got up Sunday morning and rode my 10 miles! (Horrah for sticking to training despite a belly full of bourbon and 3 hours of sleep. FML.) Regardless, the scale … Continue reading
Good Problems
You know you’ve lost weight when… …your knee highs become thigh highs. What about you? The scale went in the right direction again this morning! I’m ecstatic! Perhaps the high sugar fruit really is an issue for me, despite not eating a ton of it. Crazy how something so small can effect you so much. I … Continue reading
And So It Begins
Today marks the start of my 2nd season of tri training. I’m training to place in my division this season – hopefully. I compete in the Athena Division which is the fatty girl division. HOWEVER – it’s really not because there’s no height restriction and it’s 150lbs and more. So, someone 6′, 150lbs and all … Continue reading
Letters
I was born and raised Catholic (though no longer practicing) and at the age of 15 I was on a weekend retreat. We were given multiple letters from people in our lives to read and reflect on. I still have many of them, but I often find myself re-reading the one from my brother. While … Continue reading
Who Do You Think You Are?
To Whom It May Concern, My intent behind this letter is not to gain anything free or really gain anything at all except perhaps a peace of mind. I have been a faithful member with LA Fitness for over three years now and have had very few, if any complaints. Last night I attended my … Continue reading
Oh hai Weight Watchers
Back on WW and I’m a happy woman. I forgot how easy WW is and how good I feel on it. I stopped in attempt to save money 2 years ago and thought I’d just “calorie count” on my own. Yeah – fail – didn’t work. I just stopped losing weight. Well, I lost 6.6 … Continue reading
Yahtzee!
I’ll admit it, I lost all motivation throughout the Holidays. I blame most of this on bourbon and a lack of exercise and baking – oh the baking… I mean seriously – I made that. I’m not a huge sweets person, but I taste as I cook and ffs – it adds up. That was … Continue reading
The Little Things…
I have a part of me that I call my “fat pack” it is where I am 100% the most insecure in my appearance. My lower ab, my pooch, my fat pack, my front butt, my arch nemesis. It’s the first thing I see in the mirror and the last thing I want anyone else to … Continue reading
Life Lessons
After a weekend of eating and drinking and drinking and eating the strangest thing happened after not working out for 3 weeks. My body literally said to me, “Hey fatty – ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – go to the gym.” And so I went. And I’ve continued to go. Every single day and even twice a … Continue reading
Damn girl, that's a lot of fattitude
