Public Humiliation Update

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

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!

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

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!

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

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

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
