I made my Christmas weightloss goal yesterday! I weigh 210 now!!! I’m pretty positive I’ll be making my goal of 200 by Jude’s birthday, and I really wish I had taken that diet bet now! It must also be noted that I put my running shoes on again today for the first time since the … [Read more…]
I did it! I did it! Oh yes I DID IT!!! What did I do? I didn’t just run 3.1 miles, I sailed by it and by the time I realized what was going on, I ran for 40 minutes for 3.6 miles! Faster than the speeding light she’s flying Trying to remember where it … [Read more…]

I don’t often go off diet, but when I do I make sure to do it exactly in the biggest, most delicious way. So, yes, please to candy bar pie and chocolate crazed deliciousness flavor. … [Read more…]
