Daily affirmations with Suedre
Hey guys! I’m trying to keep myself accountable and post my plan for the day early in the morning. Right now I’m screaming into a vacuum because I don’t have anyone reading my feed! I’d love to be friends with folks that might like to read my plans for the day and share yours. A little accountability if you will. I’m not…

Things I wish I knew when I started running.
Today marks exactly one year since I started running in a group training course that used a modified C25K. Let me just tell you, it was kind of a disaster. I think the only thing that I’m proud of in those 10 weeks is that I didn’t quit when over half the group did. I stuck around even though I was one of the few left that…

Letting go of an old crutch
So. I've been craving chocolate cake with white icing, my absolute end all be all favorite treat. Since I haven’t been able to find it by the slice at any of the local grocery stores, I was going to make one this weekend as a prize of sorts for a perfect week of clean eating. I tell you – the idea of that chocolate cake…

Too large for a seat, did the venue respond correctly?
I went to a concert earlier this week. There was a woman about two rows in front of me that was very overweight. My heart broke for her when I saw her try to sit in the seat and come nowhere close to fitting. She tried several ways to make it work, leaning sideways, sitting on the arms of the chair putting all her weight…

Best NSV ever.
This time last year I went to my yearly physical after about six months of eating better and exercising. I was thrilled when my blood tests showed all indicators including blood sugar, cholesterol, liver, pancreas, and thyroid functions to be normal. For me, that was a big deal. Imagine my surprise this year when they were…

Incredible Shrinking Woman (pics!)
As of today, I officially reached what I thought my super-ultimate-wouldn’t-it-be-awesome-if-I-weighed weight. It took 50 weeks of ups and downs and serious dedication. Every minute is completely worth it. I love going to the gym, taking long runs, playing with kid, and generally doing things that people who fell well do.…

They called me fat and I don’t even care.
So I was out running sprints tonight and I usually use a long straight away in front of my house. It’s close, it has a nice sidewalk and a it’s a fairly flat area for the full 400 meters. I know it looks crazy to the neighbors to watch me walk up the slight hill then run down it with everything I have six or eight times.…

Thumbs up from the Mii!
I'm a happy camper today. I weigh in on my wii fit and have to watch her fluff up everytime. Today, after six months and starting in the obese category, she's finally 'NORMAL' and doesnt blow up with the weight count. I really feel like I've hit a milestone even those I have a few pounds to go still. *Suedre does happy…
