Well, this week was my first official week with two no movement days. And while I am frustrated that I missed two days, I am also really proud of myself. I mean... we're talking going from working out 3 days a week at the maximum since August 2013, and most weeks not working out at… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 3 Wrap Up

Month of Movement: Week 2 Wrap Up
I can't believe that February is halfway over! My body has been a-movin-and-a-groovin this past week. Here's a summary... Housework. Housework. Ran on the track at the gym. ZUMBA! Plus danced in my living room. :) Ran on the track at the gym. Ran mile outside to get ready for my 5k race then ZUMBA!… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 2 Wrap Up
Month of Movement
I can't believe that it is already February. January flew by! Especially the last two weeks... and I have no blog entries to show for it. I also haven't been using MyFitnessPal and I missed a week of Zumba. Oh and we won't talk about my project 365... :( I have fallen into the resolutioner… Continue reading Month of Movement

I was using MyFitnessPal here and… Continue reading Public Humiliation Update
A Goal Accomplished!

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
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
