She has attitude doesn’t she?
I feel sad when women say they are going to lose weight so they can start dating and find someone. I met my husband at close to my highest weight. I never was lacking a date at any weight. “It” is more about confidence and attitude than weight. So by all [...]

-19.7 since starting Biggest Loser Blog Edition
-26.5 since starting blog
-43.5 from highest weight
I suspect this was the rebound from last week’s huge loss (as the kind Sarah warned me) about from [...]

OK, I’m relieved and thinking I can still meet my 5k running goal. I was in a lot of pain when I wrote my post the other day, but today, running felt great on one of the local Rails to Trails project areas.
It was also inspiring — we saw several marathon runners out [...]

Hmm. OK. I think I’m a freak. (Hey, I hear you asking yourselves, “well, when did she finally figure that out?!”)

I’m finally getting over my respiratory thang! So, back to my jogging plan today.
But I’m nervous. Because my knees have finally just stopped killing me after my Great Wall climb almost a month ago.

Is there any more perfect food than chili? Yum. #
Or any better husband than one who drops hot chili by the office on a cold day? #

Down 6.2 pounds! Guess it must have been the two chocolate (nay, double chocolate) cupcakes I had yesterday
-21.8 since starting Biggest Loser Blog Edition
-28.6 since starting blog
-45.6 from highest weight
Of course, my first reaction was — the scale is broken! But I’d been losing steadily throughout the week, so I don’t think the [...]
