January Goals Revisited/February Goals
January Goals
1. Continue to drink more water, get above 8 cups per day. I’m just going to say it—my water intake SUCKED this month. And I’ve been drinking way more coffee than normal (damn you, Keurig). Definitely not the way to go.
2. Hit my 100 lb. mark/break into the 200s. Done. With flying colors.
3. Complete a 5K walk/jog at least once per week. FAIL. But at least I...
I visited a running store for the first time ever...
I found out about this store by my house that caters to runners/triathletes and I was curious to check it out. I bought a couple packets of Gu, energy beans, and Cliff bars to try out (for when I do longer distances) and had a nice chat with the owner that went something like this:
Owner: So, are you training for anything?
Me: No, not really, just running on my own. Actually, I did sign up for...

Weigh-in Wednesday
Hey guys,
First off, I just wanted to say thank you for all the replies/messages/e-mails I got yesterday when I wrote that post about my mental health. The amount of support I get from you guys is truly unbelievable. I’m slowly working my way through everything, so if I haven’t gotten back to you yet, I promise that I will today. I definitely feel more comfortable writing about things...
A somewhat downer of a post...
I’m not going to lie, I’ve been struggling lately. Like, really struggling. It’s just one of those times where everything in my life is just chaotic and up in the air. And as much as I don’t want to admit it, I’ve been fighting the urge to just eat, and eat, and eat.
I’m stressed about losing my job. I like to pretend to be carefree about it, because I try to...

Anonymous asked: This is a personal question so feel free to ignore if you don't want to answer.
Since you've lost 100 lbs (which is SO awesome!) do you find that you have loose/excess skin? Will you have surgery when you get to your goal weight if your skin doesn't "shrink" back?

Anonymous asked: Is it best to weigh yourself in the morning or the afternoon? I normally weigh 115 but it's been a while since I've been on a scale like 3 months? So I went to my friend's house & there I saw a platform digital scale so I decided to weigh myself. It said I was 121 & I started to freak out. Plus it was in the afternoon too, did I just gain 6 pounds or does it usually...

Quick WIW!
Good morning, all!
I was late again this morning. Something’s up with the alarm on my phone—it never went off! You know that post I wrote yesterday about why oversleeping sucks? Yeah, numbers 1-3 still apply…but at least I’m safe from #4! There will be absolutely no Lean Cuisines in my future today. I’m glad I took the time last night to make sure everything was...

4 Reasons Why Oversleeping Sucks
1. You hit every single red light & traffic jam possible on the commute to work.
2. Your day drags on, and on, and on…oh yeah, and on.
3. You get to sit at your desk and watch while half the office leaves for the day because they got in early.
4. You’re forced to eat that Lean Cuisine from the back of the freezer for lunch because you didn’t have enough time/energy to get...

Tumblr Tuesday!
Hi, all!
Sorry I’ve been M.I.A. I had an absolutely amazing weekend and I hope you all did too.
My recommendation this week goes to Leighton over at fat-chance. I’ve recommended her before, but she’s stepped it up lately in a HUGE way. I mean, seriously, she’s turning into a running machine! I am so proud of her. Plus, she’s probably the most wonderful, supportive...
Rookie Mistake
Apparently I didn’t get enough sleep last night because I woke up this morning and thought it would be a brilliant idea to jog without eating anything beforehand. I forced myself to make it through that first mile and I felt so disgusting; I was practically hobbling back to my car afterwards. Let’s just call this a lesson learned. Perhaps I’ll go back out later and try again.
Thank you.
Thank you all so much for the sweet comments/messages about the photo I posted earlier! I appreciate every single one of them. You’re all wonderful.
And per healthiereveryday’s suggestion, I think I’ll make this my new avatar…once I figure out how in the hell I did it the first time. I think a change will be good. My current profile picture is from September…I look a...
