Last week I was having a great week. After a blah week before, I was feeling more confident. I started to notice improvements in my runs and my strength training. It was exactly what I needed. I also had a short work week, which is always glorious. Since it is my Birthday month, and I
Why hello there! I have been far too busy cookout hopping and drinking adult beverages to share with you my exploits of the weekend. I shall break it down for ya. Friday- Went to the gym and completed my strength training routine. My plan had been to run but the weather was gloomy and I
Muscle weighs more than fat? Yeah, no shit. Thanks. I think if one more person tells me that I may set their car on fire. I have always been obsessive about my weight. I can recall weighing myself dozens of times a day in middle school and in high school. Seeing 121 and crying and
I spend a lot of time looking up weight loss tips, stories, blogs, transformations etc. It is a way to motivate myself as well as a way to torture myself. Do you ever look at a person and wish your after was their “before”? Because I do. And, then I get into this weird shame

KC’s alarm went off at 5AM- per usual. Sadie had been whining at the door for 30 minutes before that- per usual. I went back to sleep for another hour- per usual. I have been having the hardest time getting up in the morning. It is no longer dark, nor freezing. Yet I have no
I went to a party school for college. Good Ol’ UMass. I graduated 6 years ago and miss the craziness. For my junior and senior year, I rented a house with 4 of my best friends. We threw some ridic themed parties and watched more South Park than a thirteen year old gamer. Those were
I completed my first race of the season weeks and weeks ago. Unfortunately, my day job has been wicked hectic so I am late at sharing my recap with you. But here it goes! I chose a 10K, because I am slightly masochistic… Or maybe it is because I ran in this race last year
