What a week! Another crazy stressful week after a fun-filled, busy weekend! I did my 5k race on Saturday with my bro and it went ok, aside from the 95 degree, sunny, humid weather and the terrible side-ache that I suffered. My time was 30:45, which was a minute and a half over my previous [...]

This week was a rough one. I went over my calories all weekend, but still ran each day to balance things out. The early part of the week included some seriously hard workouts in preparation for this weekends race and then the last two days off to let my body recover. On top of that, [...]

This week has been major stressful and on top of the crazy stress, I’ve been fighting off sickness. I’m glad I haven’t gotten full blown sick, but the first half of the week I knew I was fighting something. So needless to say, my workouts sufferred on Monday and Tuesday. But I got back on [...]

Mini goal accomplished! Today I weighed in at 164.5, which is 1/2 lb UNDER my goal of 165 for today. W00t! I feel amazing and my workouts have been awesome this week. I’ve already run 21.25 miles and it’s only Friday! I also hit a new personal best this week, by running 5 miles in [...]

I decided to weigh in on Thursday this week instead of Friday because tonight, at 9pm, is the Full Moon 5k. Since I’m running so late and will likely be eating/drinking late, I didn’t want that to have an effect on my weigh in tomorrow morning. So, here I am blogging and happy to report [...]

This was a good week for me, even though I stayed the same weight-wise, I hit a new milestone – 5k with an 8:57 pace! I am amazed, to be honest. I’ve been pushing myself in my runs lately because I don’t really have a desire to go further than the 4 miles I usually [...]

Something awesome happened this week – I made it to the 160′s! It’s been over 3 years since I’ve been in the 160′s and I am so pumped about it. I lost 4 lbs this week, which puts me at 168. My lowest weight ever was 161 and I felt like I was starting to [...]

Even after a week of traveling for a death in the family, I lost 2 lbs. I attribute that to my visits to the fitness room at my hotel. I had some good workouts running side by side on the treadmills with my big bro. I won’t lie, I ate some bad food, but I [...]

Happy 4th of July, everyone! It’s about that time where I am closing in on my goal and I’m having to put in harder work for less weight loss, which is completely normal, yet also rather annoying. This week’s loss was 3 lbs, which at this point in my weight loss is pretty darn good. [...]

I feel really great this week after some great workouts. I ran 20 miles so far this week – and it’s only Friday! Maybe I’ll try to run a marathon in a week. Now, that would be a nice little workout goal. It may not seem like a lot to some, but with working almost [...]
