What Just Happened?
I had things to do today. But, it was sunny and sixty out at 9:30 AM today. Seriously! On February 24th! My goodness… So, how could I not go for a 5K run? I really pushed myself out there today. … Continue reading
Wow
It was another crazy weather day, today, like yesterday. So, I just had to get out there for a 5K run before lunch. I felt pretty strong. And, my mind was really distracted. I ran the whole 3.1 miles in … Continue reading

Really
I went for a 5K run before lunch today. It was overcast – but, fifty degrees (!) when I headed out. For kicks, I decided to run my toughest “normal” route. And, I cannot remember the last time I ran … Continue reading
Bueno
I went for a 5K run after breakfast today. Perfect running weather – sunny, fifty, and just a breeze in some spots. I ran the whole 3.1 miles in 28:37. Felt strong at the end too. I have now run … Continue reading
O.K.
I went for a 5K run after breakfast today. It’s been 9 days since the last time. Some of that was due to the snow. A lot of it was due to me being a failure. I ran the entire … Continue reading
What’s The Date?
It’s February 8th. I went for a 5K run today before lunch – wearing shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt, because it was 50 degrees outside! And, it’s supposed to go up to 60 later today! Of course, the forecast … Continue reading
Hard
I went for a 5K run after breakfast today. It was cool; but, sunny. Today was HARD. I really had to PUSH myself. But, I did it. I ran the whole 3.1 miles, although my time was 29:07. I have … Continue reading

I’ll Take It
I went for a 5K run after breakfast today. First time out in a week. It was sunny – but cool. In fact, I was cold for the first mile – although I was sweating like a pig at the … Continue reading
Five For Fighting
I recently had some sad moments dealing with pants that barely fit and shirts that won’t fit. And, it’s things like that which are a huge slap in the face. I need to do something to make a dent towards … Continue reading
I Am Nearly 25 Pounds Overweight
I got on the scale this morning after breakfast and it read 201.7 pounds. I have no idea when was the last time I was this heavy. It’s 24.7 pounds more than my ideal weight. This needs to change. It … Continue reading

Bad & Good
First, the bad news. I got on the scale after breakfast today. It read 198.2 pounds. That’s about what it’s been lately and it’s 21 pounds too many. I did go for a 5K run after breakfast as well. First … Continue reading
Wow
Sunny and really warm (45) today. So, I went for a 5K run after breakfast. It was HARD and I had to use all the tricks. But, I ran the whole 3.1 miles in 29:09. Wow. I have now run … Continue reading
How Did That Happen?
I went for a 5K run before lunch today. I was thinking that it would be too cold – for me! – because it was 35 with a real feel of 30. But, the sun is SO STRONG today that … Continue reading
That Sucked
I went for a run in between breakfast and lunch today. It was a crazy 60 degrees out there!!! I got to the 2.4 mile mark and then I had to walk twice. I covered the whole 3.1 miles in … Continue reading
Better
I went for a 5K run after breakfast. First time out there in a week. Really, no excuse not to get out there. It’s sunny and a freaky 45 degrees out there. I had to walk from 2.4 to 2.5 … Continue reading
196.2
That was the number on the scale before lunch today. Pretty much the same as last time. But, at least it’s not worse. Still, it’s 19 pounds too many.

Ugh
I went for a 5K run before lunch today. First attempted run in over 3 weeks. It was brutal. All this extra weight probably didn’t help. I got to 2.07 miles before having to break down into a walk. And, … Continue reading
197.4
I got on the scale this morning after breakfast and it read 197.4 pounds. To be candid, I was surprised it did not say 200. That’s what I was expecting – based on how I feel now. I can’t even … Continue reading

Was It Worth It?
For four straight days, starting on Xmas Eve, I pigged out on cookies, cake, brownies and pie – like an out of control lunatic. Completely out of control. The picture of reckless abandon. Thoughtless. It stops today.

Pretty Much As Expected
I went for a 5K run at 10:30 AM today. It was my first run in two weeks. Why? Say…75% crappy weather, 20% depression and 5% been busy. At the 2.25 mile mark, I had to walk a bit. Did … Continue reading
194.5
That was the number on the scale today before lunch. That’s 17.5 pounds too much.

9 Days Is Enough
For the last 9 days, I have been terrible with my food choices. Granted, one-third of it was Thanksgiving/Birthday stuff…and that’s hard. But, the last 6 days have been all about depression and apathy. And, that has to stop. I … Continue reading
