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 [...]

One of the reasons I started this blog last year was to document my relationship with running. I did several 5Ks, trained for a ½ marathon, and had some really great (and really terrible runs/jogs). Somewhere along the way running and I sort of parted ways. Specifically, it was after the Disney Wine and Dine [...]

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. [...]

In less than 72 hours I’ll be weighing in at Weight Watchers and jump-starting my 365 days to a fitter (and happier) me. So what does one do in their last 72 hours of freedom? Some might indulge in favorite treats or “last meals” but I kind of don’t believe in that. I think that [...]
I talked a little last week about transitioning back into running. That is happening right now as I begin preparing for the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon. Part of that transition means fueling my body for workouts rather than being haphazard about what I am eating. I started that process today. While staying on program in [...]
After the Disney Wine and Dine 1/2 Marathon I swore I would NEVER do another 1/2 marathon. I was emotionally and physically exhausted from the race and sort of fell out of love with running. Even though the outcome was a happy one, I simply felt “done” after this experience. However, after a few weeks [...]

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 [...]

Even though I had rested for most of the day I was still somewhat tired going into the night race. The hubs assured me my excitement would get me through it. So, after stocking my armpocket with gummy bears we headed to Epcot. All racers not being transported to and from the hotels by Disney [...]
