I can't believe that we are already almost a week into April. Time flies when you're having fun! Or in my case, when you fill your life with awesome people and entertaining things to do. While I haven't really kept up on all of my goals for this year, I have been staying active. I… Continue reading Banking the Miles: April Update

Banking the Miles
Last year I challenged myself each month to walk, run or bike more miles than the month before. This year I am challenging myself to beat last year's mileage every month. This shouldn't be difficult to achieve since I am planning to... wait for it... ... ... run a half marathon in November. Yep... my… Continue reading Banking the Miles
Race Recap: The Muddogs 10k
Yep, you read that title right. I ran my first 10k today! You might remember the post I made about a month ago about the freezing cold race that I ran on February 15th, The Ice Cube 5k. The Muddogs Race is the third and final race in the Winter Warriors series. These winter… Continue reading Race Recap: The Muddogs 10k
Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up
I can't believe February is officially over! Although I didn't accomplish my goal of an entire month of movement, I must say I am pretty darn proud of myself. I exercised 24 out of 28 days, and even if you don't count the days where I cleaned instead of doing a workout, I still exercised… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up
Month of Movement: Week 3 Wrap Up
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
Weekly Wrap Up #3
Another week has gone by - can you believe it? January is almost half over! While I definitely feel myself "slowing down" a bit, I'm still trying to keep up with my goals for 2014. We are still waiting for the state to show up at work, which kinda throws me off. It has helped… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up #3
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!
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: Eating Smart vs. Dieting
I would be lying if I said I didn't watch what I eat. Call it pseudo-dieting if you will, but I keep a food and exercise diary at MyFitnessPal.com. I find it more interesting to see whether I am getting in the nutrition that I need - vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc. - rather than watching… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Eating Smart vs. Dieting
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
