Race Recap: Chip River Run 2014

Yesterday I ran my first race since my 10k back in March.  In the meantime, I have really been "banking the miles" (I'll post an update on that later!) and staying very active.  There were a few races in between that I could have done, but because we are trying to save money to fix… Continue reading Race Recap: Chip River Run 2014

Banking the Miles: April Update

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: Week 1 Wrap Up

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 #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

What I Ate Wednesday

What I Ate Wednesday #7

I almost forgot about this today!  I was trying to think of a creative photo for my Project 365 picture of the day, then remembered I needed to do this.  So I captured pictures of what I ate today, plus a bonus! This morning I could have slept in, but I woke up at 6am.  I didn't… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday #7

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.

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!

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
