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 [...]
Saturday is Caleb’s Crusade training day, and yesterday was no different. We had an *easy 6 mile run planned. (*I don’t consider ANY run to be easy, let alone a 6 mile run. I only labeled it that way because 6 miles compared to the 9.3 I ran last week seems like it SHOULD be [...]
One of my goals for 2010 was to organize a family reunion. As I posted the other day, we had it on May 29th and I had so much fun. Yeah, it was a little overwhelming to plan and I stressed myself out over way more than I needed to, but it went really well [...]
Today marks SIX months since I embarked on this journey! A lot has happened in the past six months that has drastically changed my life – in such a positive way. I’ll likely always be a work in progress, but I’m very proud of how far I’ve come in the last six months. Let’s recap, [...]

Today was such a whirlwind, I hardly know where to start. I showed up at the gym this morning with my list of exercises from my workout pledge ready to go. My sister was there to join me but what I didn’t know was that Michelle, the owner of the gym, would also be there [...]
Well, I completed my third 5k of the year today. It’s the Hope, Love, and Faith 5K which benefited the Heil Luthringer Foundation which provieds education for those suffering with Multiple Sclerosis and other diseases. The race was at the Naples Philharmonic which is about an hour drive for us. My plan was to get [...]
Remember the other day when I was talking about emotions? and how I could no longer pretend like my weight-loss journey was merely a physical challenge unaffected by anything mental or emotional? Well, today was very tumultuous for me, both physically and mentally. So, here I am tonight, entering brand new territory on my blog [...]
I had really good intentions this week, but have failed miserably on the execution of all said plans. Let’s start with Monday. I purposely decided that I wouldn’t do any exercise on Monday because I wanted to get up and go to the gym early Tuesday morning. It’s always hard for me to workout at [...]
