I’m not getting fit so some guy will love me. I’m not getting fit so people can stare at me in a bikini. I’m not getting fit for the compliments. I’m getting fit so I can be healthy. So I can feel good about myself. So I can be proud and say “my hard work & perseverance really paid off.” So I can live a long & healthy life. That’s why I am getting...
I know, I know… I have been horrible about keeping up with this. Time slips away without me even realizing it. Life has been absolutely wonderful as of late. I’m still very consistent with my exercise - 6 days a week & I have to say it definitely pays off. I finally hit the 20 lb mark! YES … I’ve lost exactly 20lbs :) I have never felt better & more confident....

I’ve had to take the past 5 days off from running. As you all know - I ran the Turkey Trot last week. I had hurt my foot a few days prior but the morning of the trot I felt very confident running on it. Horrible swelling & pain the next day. Today was my first attempt back at running and I still can’t. I thought it would be a good idea to go to Run On last night so someone could...

weekend achievements!
Yesterday marked a big achievement for me! Met my trainer in the morning, we did weights on Saturday so she didn’t want to do them again on Sunday. She asked me the time it usually takes me to run my 3 miles & then proceeded to ask if I thought it was possible to run 1 hour straight. Immediately, I said “no”. I tried for it anyway!! I ran a total of 64 minutes STRAIGHT. I ran...

update!!
hi y’all! I cannot believe it is already NOVEMBER!
Since it is the beginning of the month, I have been setting some goals I would like to achieve by the end of the month. I will now be counting every mile I run all month to see how much I can truly run in 4 weeks. I have now made it to 3 miles without stopping and to be honest - I think I can push for 4 any day now. My personal goal is to...

Mantra of the day:
You Don’t Need to Be Perfect
Be gentle towards yourself. You are not supposed to be perfect. Your life is not supposed to be right all the time.
There is no light without darkness. There is no happiness, without sadness. Learn to welcome whatever comes in your life. And then let it go.
Breathe. Let go of perfection.
