Running from Zombies
A little over a year ago I decided to start running because it sounded like a good idea and I was always envious of the people running down the street with their dogs. I jumped right in and signed up for a sprint triathalon and did well, a month later I completed my first 5k and I am completely hooked!!!! I now run at 3-6…

Don't walk and chew gum at the same time!!!!
Actually don't chew at all, or at least the suger free kind. I’m sitting back chewing some trident layers cherry lime, it taste like a starburst that keeps on bursting (after I drank my DIET soda). I looked down at the package and saw a little miniature warning that states “CONTAINS PHENYLALANINE” So I googled it.…

Lunch break
Some things to ponder… What exactly is couscous and why didn't anyone tell me about it sooner? Why is greek salad so good? Leaving the pit in an olive is just a cruel joke. Hummus and Pita is the old peanut butter and jelly. Whoever decided to sell a portable collapsible spoon/fork/knife/chopstick set and THEN make it hot…

Crunchy Frogs are evil!
Sooo, if I am doing P90X abs and I use my HRM is it going to be accurate as far as calories burned? I feel like it should be more when I do 30DS, weightlifting, and Abs?
-
Yes I DID...
OK so I raised my calorie goal by 100. I'm a bit nervous :( I just can't seem to get below 142 and it's driving me mad!!!!! I really REALLY want to get into the 130's. I've seen a lot of people who have had success with this, I'm still sceptical ;)

Have you ever eaten a whole pint of icecream?
When I started reading this article I was irritated, but as I got to the end I'm actually kind of impressed....kind of. http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/the-new-trend-in-diet-foods-appeal-to-americans-desire-for-more-more-more-2516462/ p.s. No, I've never eaten a whole pint of icecream :)

I finally did it!
I made the appt. for a consultation with a laser eye center. I am so excited. i have worn contacts/glasses since I was in 2nd grade people! I might die of happiness once my surgery is complete!!!!

Fat Habits
Decades ago, around the time of Steven Tyler's last haircut, a completely wrong-headed idea started being passed around America's dinner tables: Eating fat makes you fat. Wrong. Eating fat won’t make you fat, any more than eating money will make you rich. Calories make you fat, and most “low-fat” or “fat-free” foods…

BCBG NSV
So this morning I was trying on a bunch of outfits to wear to my husbands 30th birthday party tonight and my little bcbg max azria dress was staring at me from the corner of my closet. This dress was $250 on sale and it hasn't fit me in ages....well it does now, and. I didn't have unbutton it, it slipped right over my head…

WTF did I just do? :(
I get home and my husband brought me a piece of double cream lemon pie.I am not really big fan of sweets but I took a bite. Then another. No pie left...500 calories In my body in mere minutes. I have been so good all week! Ugh! I always have such HIGH self control and USUALLY I can have just one bite. I really needed an…

Serious Case of the Mondays
I am so tired this morning I almost died on the way to work - I was forced to drive thru Starbucks and get a Skinny Carmel Macchiato (upside down) with a triple! I feel WAY better. I like being lied to – My pants are from Banana Republic and they say petite size 4. I am not a size 4 and I know Banana runs a couple sizes…

Getting back to me
I lost so much when I gained 40 lbs. I never wanted to be controlled by my weight. I would tell myself that I didn’t care that I was a little chubby because I was still me. I wasn’t being completely honest with myself; deep down inside I knew it. I didn’t recognize the reflection in the mirror. My nice clothes didn’t fit…

Woke up in someone else's pants!
I woke up this morning and I felt excitement. My first thought was that I couldn’t wait to meet my friend later for our run. All morning as I was getting ready for work I was filled with happiness and wondered what’s going on here? I never in a million years thought I would be that girl I always envied running down the…
-
Woah! I can't believe it!
I seriously just realized this....I only have 15 pounds to go to reach my goal weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in shock. Last night I was changing in my room and decided to try on my skinny pants hanging in my closet (I had them dry cleaned like three weeks ago in preparation for a skinnier me) and they zipped right up! I was…

It's officially official
I HAD to buy some new shorts this weekend for the upcoming 4th of July weekend because my size 11 shorts were really REALLY baggy...I went straight for the size 8 and I felt satisfaction when they zipped right up!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy I couldn't wait to get home to try them on again (you know you all do it too). So when…

Comparing Apples to...
A question that defines our generation…are you a MAC or a PC? I am neither!!!!! I own a laptop; I use a computer at work all fricken day long (as in right this very moment). But I don’t embrace the power of the PC. I am technically retarded (wait that doesn’t sound right)…you know what I mean. ANYWAY to get to the point…I…

I don't have kids....Do they only eat pizza?
Well my husband and I don't have any children (at least not any that only have two legs), but we've done test runs with my adorable little cousins since they were 3, 4, and 5. They are 11, 12, and 13 now and we have so much fun with them BUT when they come over I eat really bad!!! Now that I am on the heathly train does…

Music to motivate...
I think Pennywise is the bestest run music ever!!!!

Running out of excuses...
Okay this IS an excuse, but I’ve convinced myself that since I am 5’2” that I am incapable of running (due to my stubby legs)! I have always wanted to be a runner, in 6th grade I was the 2nd fastest girl in the whole school which was so amazing to me but it was a sprint and I was fast at a shorter distance. I really want…
-
can I get a HRM for around $50?
Yes that was my only question. I just recently started running (as in yesterday was my first day) and I was thinking about getting one but I don't want to spend $200!!! $50 sounds reasonable to me.

Just a little happiness to share :)
Every day, for last couple of years, losing weight has been on my mind but I just couldn’t get into that mind frame. I was afraid when I started trying really hard to lose weight in March I would go back to my evil ways in a couple of weeks. Buy here I am over 15 lbs lighter. My clothes are falling off of me. I pulled out…

What's that called?
Ugh I don't know how to log my strength training exercises. Why can't I just lump them in general catagories like 5 sets of arms or legs reps or even better 30 mins of arm/leg/etc. training? I don't know the exact names of the exercise I am doing! I keep trying to enter my strength training then get frustrated and give up.

Too much fat???
I am totally having a problem going over my on my food diary for fat intake. Today I am over by 32 for fat and 41 on my protein. I am eating totally healthy, I do almost no carbs every other week and this is my no carb week. I really don’t know if this is that bad since I am doing low carb and all the fats are from eggs,…

It's just not enough...
Okay so I know I should be eating a certain amount of calories per day to keep my body energized and low enough to lose weight. I have not felt hungry or grouchy, which is good BUT…I am having a hard time with my calorie counter. I do 1200 a day and I meet that amount, until I do my daily workout, which gives me a 300-400…
