An NSV because I haven't lost many pounds in recent months...but that is a small top and size TWO jeans!
-
I tried a Julian Bakery paleo bar in Glazed Donut...one of the worst things I've ever had in my mouth. Tasted like soap.

New 10 mile personal best time! 89 minutes 46 seconds! Nearly two minutes faster than my previous best.

New personal best 10 mile run...89 minutes 46 seconds! ...and size TWO jeans. Boyfriend (i.e. looser cut)....but a TWO!

I don't count steps, but a 10 mile run for me calculates at right around 1000 calories. I'm 5'4" and 145 pounds. That sounds like a lot of extra calories. That being said, that doesn't sound like a crazy calorie intake for your current weight and activity level.

A few hours in a brine solution works wonders!

Splenda has about 3 carbs per packet. Cream also has a amount. Sounds like it was milk or creamer in use. ...and carbohydrates are not just sugar.

Week 1 (2-8 Oct) Check-In 1. Check! 1 hours of kettlebells and 30 minutes of yoga. Looking good for this week too since I'll be on a business trip near one of my favorite yoga studios. 2. Check! 50 miles! 3. Fail...sort of. I tackled some, procrastinated some. I'm distracted by costume creation for my kids and home…

I've been tweaking my recipe and technique. These are very fudgy and tasty! Protein Brownies 16 servings 100 grams prunes 237 grams beans, Eden Organic Black Soybeans (1 can drained and rinsed) 2 tsp vanilla 2 each eggs, large, room temperature 113 grams chocolate, Baker’s 66% Bittersweet Baking Bar (1 bar) 124…

I ran my 10 mile course in 91 minutes and 35 seconds...that is THREE minutes faster than my previous best time. Cool weather and new, lighter shoes made me fast this morning!
-
I ran 70 miles in 7 days! That is more than 10 miles further than my previous weekly distance.
-
I'm so annoyed because I just bought it and it seems to be doing that same thing my old one was. I know that I was more than a minute faster than my usual 10k time when it crapped out. I'll just have to run fast again on Saturday.

I'm like a bottomless pit in the evening! Inevitably, I overdo it at least once a week and suffer the consequences. Not enough to make me barf but enough to make it really uncomfortable.

1. Kettlebells or yoga at least 2 x week. 2. Running 30 miles a week minimum. Try for another 70 mile week this month. 3. Stop procrastinating work activities that I don't enjoy. It interferes with my overall mental health. I'm running a 10k this month. I'll post pictures of my costume!

It was a busy month at home and work so I didn't manage weekly updates; but, here it is, the good, the bad, and the ugly. 1. I managed 30 miles a week despite business travel. I didn't manage a 60 mile week...because I did a SEVENTY mile week. Finished it this morning. Now I need a nap. 2. I got as low as 143.1!...and, of…

Me three on the sassy, short hair! I, too, was always self conscious about wearing my hair too short. I can't say definitively when my major hair loss stopped because it was so gradual...but I would say that it definitely correlated with my major weight losses stopped. By 6-9 months post-RNY, my monthly losses were in the…

I set a new personal best 7 day distance...70 miles! I might have also run my fastest 10 miles but my iPod conspired against me and lost my data.

I love rutabaga! Super tasty roasted and mashed with salt and parmesan.
-
Your body is amazing...I never look like that any weight!
-
Um, I don't envy any of you. I've dated as a single mom. Torture. Pure torture. I can't even imagine having to have a weight loss surgery discussion with some of the yahoos that I dated--or to let some of them see the sadness that is my loose skin! That being said, I met my husband on Match.com (I did PoF and eH and some…

I finally consolidated all my running data from my different devices and I'm just shy of 800 miles for the year so far! I also realized that I already have more that 500 miles on my "new" shoes...so I ordered a new pair!
-
"Leaking" is one way to put it!
-
To be honest, it is likely just another development in your body; your gut bacteria reestablishing and such. Purely anecdotal, but I feel like when I'm consistent with my probiotic supplements that I have less gas. At almost a year out I developed dumping like symptoms for about a week...only it couldn't be dumping because…

I have no wisdom to share, but I wanted you to know that you're not alone.

Glazed Donut Paleo Bar by Julian Bakery. Tastes like soap. So, good if you like that sort of thing, otherwise...all of the no.

Size FOUR jeans. I was a 24 just 18 months ago.

I make our yogurt but good to know that theirs is a good option if my yogurt making routine gets thrown out of whack. Love to hear about the Laughing Cows. Love those things but I tried a another store's brand a few months ago and it was awful. I was just stocking up on LC when it was on sale. My girls eat too much of it…

I'm averaging around 40 miles a week and some weeks I'm hungrier than others...but it is typically later in the day when I want to eat everything in the house. On a typical day, before running, I have two cups of coffee (sometimes with protein powder added in) and 1/2 cup cooked steel cut oats with a dab of nut butter,…

Do you have a known iron deficiency? Just because you aren't hitting RDAs doesn't mean that you need to supplement. Iron absorption is going to be inhibited by the yogurt so while there are other benefits to the spinach you aren't getting the full benefit. Better to pair the spinach in a fruit smoothie. Pear, white ginger…
