Hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Time to Get Back on Track

Whenever my weight creeps up over 119 I start to freak out. That time has come and so I need to re-focus and start tracking again. Thanks to my friend Michele I decided to start mid-way through yesterday instead of waiting until this morning. As you can see by my food log from yesterday, it … Continue reading Time to Get Back on Track

I don't really post a lot of personal stuff on this blog. I share some recipes and my running recaps, and post silly pictures for Wordless Wednesday, but that's about it. When I post my starting and ending weights at the end of my running recaps you may think that I've always been about this … Continue reading #TBT: Supersized Me!

Week 2 done, and I finished up by running a half marathon yesterday. Not a race, but just because I promised myself I'd run a half marathon on my birthday :) Although it was a good run, it wasn't the smartest thing to do without the proper training. I ended up with a huge blister … Continue reading Week 2 Half Marathon Training Recap

I skipped breakfast this morning (other than my usual vat of coffee) because I knew we were ordering out (Chinese food) for lunch. I had Broccoli with garlic sauce and brown rice. I ate about half of it, which equals 2 cups of broccoli and 1 cup of brown rice: Calorie-wise I'm sure it was … Continue reading Takeout Tuesday

Back on track day 1. It didn't start so great since I left for work without my food. Thankfully I have stuff that I keep at my office for those "just in case" days. Breakfast was an Amy's Organic Black Bean and Tomato Burrito, and lunch was an Amy's Mexican Casserole, topped with guacamole. Got … Continue reading mEatless Monday (and March summary)

I had a really good run today, and I could have kept going but Lucy started beating on the (treadmill room) door at about 80 minutes. I started my cool-down and finished at 90 minutes and 8.3 miles. After I finished up I threw on a tutu and took a few shots trying to find … Continue reading Long Run Sunday

While that's been the situation lately more often than not, I got on there today and banged out a 10k in just over an hour (1:01:05 to be exact)! Prior to this I did have a good speed-work session on Saturday, but between the massive amounts of snow we've had lately which has resulted in … Continue reading Tales from the Treadmill
