So I made it through my first week of my "Month of Movement". I had a lot of excuses to give up - I was planning a party, getting ready for an event, and to top it all off the State came in for our annual survey at work. But I didn't give up. I… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 1 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
Weekly Wrap Up #2
Well here we are, almost a full week into the New Year. I have been working hard towards my goals for 2014 and have even added some new ones. This weekend was a productive one for me, even though we have been dumped on with snow since last night. Right now it is looking like… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up #2
Ready To Go!
As part of my goals for 2014 (check out my latest update) I want to run more. Specifically I want to run at least 3 times per week, I want to achieve a goal of running and/or walking 50 miles in a month, I want to run at least 3 races this year, AND I… Continue reading Ready To Go!
Keeping It Real: Why My Body Is Awesome!
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
Keeping It Real: NoBody is Perfect / EveryBody is Perfect
I have a love/hate relationship with my body. I'm sure most women out there... heck, most PEOPLE out there can relate. Some days you wake up, look at yourself and think, "Hoo-dang, I'm hot!" And other mornings, it's more like, "Whoa there, I'm a HOT MESS!" For some of us the "hot mess" days are… Continue reading Keeping It Real: NoBody is Perfect / EveryBody is Perfect
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
New Year, New Me
It is December 31st 2012. I bet some of my readers didn't think we would even make it past 10 days ago - the date the Mayan calendar ended. But since those end of the world predictions were wrong, here I am to review last year's "Keeping It Real Dietitian's" goals and set some new… Continue reading New Year, New Me
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
Welcome 2012!
The world celebrated the New Year a couple of nights ago, and many people - myself included - made New Year's Resolutions. Some of the most popular resolutions? Find a new/better job, lose weight, eat better, exercise more, quit smoking, etc. top the lists. I haven't officially written down any of my New Year's Resolutions. … Continue reading Welcome 2012!
