So I know i have been on the wagon off the wagon over the past few months but mostly do to busy schedule and health issues.

why do you love to run
Simple as that: What is it about running that you love.... I just started the C25K but for me its the fact that at one point in my life my parents were told that I could be wheelchair bound due to a hip injury when i was 12. This is my chance to throw it back in fate's face that I will never give up. Eventually I want to…

Happy NSV
This morning I was trying to figure out what to wear for lunch out with mother in law. I found a pair of jeans that I haven't worn in a long time (juniors 19) and the last time I wore them they were so tight that I had to use a hair tie thru the button hole so they would fit. Today... They fit and were even a little…

Today is day one of C25K for me and I am so excited but nervous too because I really want to do this program.

My doctor has since cleared me and I was told that I can…

I went from wanting to strictly go to lose weight to now…

losing weight and freezing
A co-worker told me today that when you are burning fat you can feel cold afterwards when you wouldn't normally be cold. Is this true? I never heard of this before. It started because I was telling the girls that I was so cold last night when I went to bed which was 1 1/2 hours after i left the gym from working out last…

another NSV moment
Two nights ago I was looking for a pair of slacks for work and I found a pair stashed in the back of my closet and found a pair that I bought when I was at my heaviest. I put them on and as soon as they were buttoned they dropped to the floor. My Hubby says, " I bet you could fit in 1 pant leg now." so I tried it.......…
