How do I get it back? The girl to the left weighs about what I do now and LOVES exercising. HAVE YOU SEEN HER? That is a LEGIT question, y’all. I need help. I really miss this girl that ran 7 miles along the beach while on vacation and asked to ride 42 miles the weekend before … Continue reading
So, I did it. Well, actually I haven’t done it. But I’m going to do it. I will press the “pay” button and have registered myself (and Kevin) for our very first HALF MARATHON. I pressed it. WTFWTFWTF This is the same feeling I had as I was contemplating my first Tri. The self doubt. … Continue reading
No running. All I heard was no running. No. No. No running. PT: I don’t want you running until your back is healed. Me: What about on a treadmill? PT: No. Me: What about a speedy walk? PT: No. In fact, I don’t really even want you walking up big hills. Me: What about on grass? … Continue reading
I was standing in front of my Aunt and Uncle’s house and found comfort in this view. I took a deep breath and took off running. I processed and cleared my mind. 30 has been a difficult year for me.

Well, my 30 days has come and gone. I ended up with 16/30 days. Basically half. Initially, I was mildly disappointed. Especially after having my goal to be 30/30. After a short lived disappointment, I stopped and realized that it also averaged out to be every other day – and that sounds a hell of a … Continue reading
It started yesterday. I want to tell you this is easy. I want to tell you this is easy. I want to tell you this is easy. This has never been, and will never be easy. Weight loss. I want to tell myself the scale is not a reflection of who I am. I want … Continue reading
That about sums up my weekend! Saturday was full of Youth Football and then the US National Men’s Soccer team. We had my brother’s family over and I made homemade baked empanadas. Delish! Sunday morning I baked and then went for a run before we attended a Chili Cook-off Super Bowl Party. The difference between … Continue reading
I’m trying to remain optimistic as the bad luck continues to pour over us; however, this post is not about that. This post is about the little non-scale victories. The other day at work was a nightmare. Just a straight up nightmare. I was ecstatic to get to my car and GTFO. Well, y’all – … Continue reading
I had a much needed weekend of soul soothing and what I’d like to think of recovery and the road to redemption. After gorging myself on Friday morning with a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked I realized I couldn’t continue down that dangerous road. I made a promise to myself as I licked … Continue reading
Damn girl, that's a lot of fattitude
