Another Year Gone By. 365 days we wished we had done something to take control of our life. Every day we woke up and thought to ourselves “Today is the day” and then as quickly as that thought came, it disappeared. It disappeared behind bad food choices and long hours on the couch […] That’s a big number. Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of beginning my weight loss journey. On December 29th 2009 I decided enough was enough. I didn’t want to be fat anymore. I didn’t want the label “morbidly obese”. I didn’t want my thighs to rub together or have to pick my clothes […] It’s Christmas Morning. My husband had to work today so I’m sitting here in the early morning hours a little lonely. Dogs sprawled on the floor and couch with a roaring fire keeping us warm. House a little messier this morning than it was yesterday as we got ready to leave to spend […] Or at least I think I’m ready to talk about my issues with food. Every time I sit down to hash out this post, my mind tries to intervene. I start to think maybe I don’t really need to write about it. Maybe nothing I say is going to be important enough to […] I knew when I wrote my last post I should have waited just a little longer… As I began to write it, I could feel all the negativity pouring out of me. One of the most important parts of this LCJ that I’ve learned is negativity has very little room in my life. […] Today is my birthday. This is a picture of me last December. I had just turned 40. I weighed at least 265 pounds. Funny how when I look at this picture now all I can think is “This girl has no idea what’s coming…” I mean seriously, she has […] I had no idea there was such a thing as “Post Run Blues” Now what? However, after finishing my first half marathon: I have them. I feel sad and lost and not sure what to do with myself. I haven’t run since Sunday (though that will change in a few hours) and when […] This has been an incredible week as a runner. As a fairly new person to the world of running (I ran my first 1/2 block just this past February at 250 pounds) I believe there are events in your life that shape you as a runner. There is of course the first time […] Confession time: I’m kind of being a big baby today. A combination of events over the past week have left me feeling angsty, emotional and just plain in a “fuck off” kind of mood. Not just bad events either. Momentous events that should leave one feeling like a bad ass and on […] My journey didn’t start back in December when I decided to get up, move forward and take control of my life. It started back when I began reading Tyler’s blog over at 344pounds sometime during the September before. I’m not sure how my Google reader came about to suggest that I start reading his […] |
