I’ve been pushing myself pretty hard for almost a year now. In that time I have been so paranoid about losing my momentum that at the most, I have allowed myself to take a 4-5 day break from working out. I am presently on day four with no running, no weights. I’m not gaining weight- … [Read more…]
Today I was not into the run. Like, at all. I know I say that a lot these days and I, myself, am pretty sick of hearing myself say it. What happened to the days when I loved to go out to run?! Anyhow, I decided to just take it easy. Run a reasonable 1.75 … [Read more…]

I won’t go into details, but let’s just say that neither the children nor their teacher were in … [Read more…]

During the past decade or so I decided that I was too far in life, too old, to make a positive difference in my health and weight anymore. My body, while not old and decrepit yet, was older, settled, and on its way down the other side of the proverbial hill, so why bother trying, … [Read more…]
Can you see me now? Remember when I went out and bought all that neon? First of all, let the record show that I do not like neon. As a fat girl, I am not a fan of drawing attention to how much real estate needs to be covered by a large neon panel. But, … [Read more…]
We’ve gotten back into the running thing again, quite nicely. We’ve been running every day since Saturday and really feeling good.
