I like many people out there, I'm sure, am completely guilty of bashing my body. There are days when I say critical things about myself and I get down on myself for not eating right or exercising enough. And as a dietitian I should be a better role model to the world... but lately life… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Why My Body Is Awesome!

Keeping It Real: Hello? Is this thing on?
So about those goals for 2013... I am really sucking at them. I haven't written a blog since May, and it is now October. But like they say, better late than never, and my friends and life in general has inspired me to write a new post. A lot has happened since I last posted.… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Hello? Is this thing on?
Public Humiliation Update
At the beginning of this year, I posted about the Public Humiliation Diet that one of my friends posted on Facebook. Along with it, I posted my weight, my thoughts on dieting, and my goals for myself. On 1/3/13, I weighed178.4#. I was just barely starting to run again. I was using MyFitnessPal here and… Continue reading Public Humiliation Update
A Goal Accomplished!
When I woke up this morning, I wasn't sure what my day would bring. It was cold outside, cold enough for snow. I hadn't gotten in any running in the last week because of work circumstances way beyond my control - more on that some other time. I wasn't completely sure of myself... but I… Continue reading A Goal Accomplished!
My 5k Races
So remember how I wanted to get into the swing of things and run again? Yeah, I'm really slacking. I was doing great at first, but lately I've just been lacking motivation. When I get home from work I'd rather just be a slug most days than go out to the gym or run around… Continue reading My 5k Races
Weekly Wrap Up #1
One thing I love about the MyFitnessPal app on my phone is that I can look at my overall progress a week at a time. The thing about good nutrition and healthy living is that it is all about averages. Every day isn't going to be perfect, and it doesn't have to be in order… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up #1
Getting Past Setbacks
So I posted not too long ago about a challenge that I was going after - a 6 week 5k training plan. I went into the challenge head on and hard - I pushed myself to run at a faster pace and I completed the first week of the workout. On the very last workout… Continue reading Getting Past Setbacks
My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k
I'm not new to running. I've been a "runner-in-progress" for over 4 years now. My running started in January 0f 2008 when a friend of mine, Heather, decided to get healthy and lose weight. We started working out together, which included running. I remember a huge sense of accomplishment with her when I ran my… Continue reading My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k
