Tulsa Run!
I participated in the Tulsa Run this morning in the 5K division. I finished in 26 minutes and 24 seconds and felt so good while I was running! I think my time is pretty good considering this week is the first time I've ran in a month and a half! I've been doing spinning classes and the elliptical, but no actual running…

I am NOT Dieting...
I have found recently that a lot of people come up to me and ask me what diet I am on. When I tell them I am not on a diet, they smirk. Suuuuurre. I tell them I am eating a healthy balanced diet full of veggies and fruits and lean proteins. Exercise 3 x a week and lift weights 3 x a week. I lose 1 pound every 10 days. And…

Size 10!!!!
