From Merriam Webster: strug·gle verb \ˈstrə-gəl\ Definition of STRUGGLE intransitive verb 1: to make strenuous or violent efforts in the face of [...]
What started as an ordinary night at the gym, turned into a night that would forever change me. It was a year ago today that I ran for the first time. I put all my fears and doubts aside, stepped outside of my comfort zone and just ran. To be honest, it was more of [...]
It’s time for my Hot 100 update. The Hot 100 began on September 23 which is exactly 100 days away from the end of the year. It’s a way to set goals and remain focused on them to end the year with a bang. Here were my goals for this week: 1. Run 15 miles [...]

I weighed in this morning at 204.3 lbs which is a 3.3 lb gain for the week. This brings my total weight loss so far back down to 51.7 pounds. I’m struggling. There, I said it. I don’t know why that’s so difficult for me to admit. I suppose nobody really likes to admit failure. [...]
I weighed in this morning at 207.5 lbs which is a .5 lb loss for the week. This brings my total weight loss so far to 48.5 pounds. Today was another “heavy” day for me and it started from the time I got out of bed this morning. I’m not sure if I mentioned this [...]
