As many of you know, I started this blog way back when to document my relationship with running. My little blog baby soon grew into something more as I struggled in 2010 to learn a healthy living lifestyle. My blog now examines all parts of this process, especially the weight loss/fitness aspect. I have proclaimed [...]

Today was a no plan, do whatever the day brings, sort of Sunday. Inspired by last night’s cookies I decided to add some craisins to my morning oatmeal. It is kind of amazing what the smallest change will do for a dish. My boring bowl of oatmeal suddenly felt really sweet and indulgent. The calorie/points [...]

The Disney running events have had a huge impact on my desire to get fit. Disney is where I attempted my first ½ marathon last March as well as where I completed my first ½ marathon last October. In particular, The Princess ½ Marathon weekend is something I hold near and dear to my heart. [...]

Ok so we all know in sports the pre-season does not “count” per se. However, it is important to get the players in shape and ready to perform at their very best once the season begins. Although I do not start officially training for the Disney Princess ½ marathon until mid-December next Monday marks what [...]

Today I officially started to taper with my mileage. This is one of the nicest and most nerve wrecking parts of the training process. It is nice because you know until the big event you will not have a run that consists of over 5 miles. It is unnerving because your mind keeps telling you [...]

Here is where it starts to all pay off. All of the weeks of stressing and feeling beaten down and broken start to fade into the background of being so excited about a race. In less than 9 days I will be running the Disney Wine and Dine ½ Marathon!! My goal is to finish. [...]

Nothing is quite as promising as that first day of training, first day of dieting, or even first day at a new job. Things feel so alive and full of promise. So as days turn into weeks and weeks into months how do you keep that spark alive? That is something I am hoping to [...]

My weekend (which was set aside for relaxation) was oddly busy. It was also full of dieting faux pas. Though it was nothing too serious I think it is always good to take a look at the small things that have the potential to lead to a big derailment. Friday night went just as planned. [...]
It is no secret that I puffy heart shoes. I just love them. I buy shoes with friends, buy shoes alone, and I even go to shoe charity events. I love heels, flats, boots, sandals- really I haven’t met a shoe I couldn’t grow to love. Today, however, my shoe buying was more purposeful and [...]
