I have officially decided that Bath and Body Works...
I bought their Summer Boardwalk scent and it is so good. It smells just like caramel popcorn. I can actually smell it, unlike Yankee candles.

So.Unbelievably.Hot.
This is not May weather!! I can’t stand it. I live in NY for a reason. We’re not supposed to be having this humid Southern heat. I’m so sticky and gross. There’s no way I’m running in this heat. And to top it all off, there is a tornado watch in effect. What is this? Kansas??

Let's just be honest...
I ate like crap this whole long weekend. From burgers to Doritos to too many beers to ice cream…I have such little willpower on weekends. This was a long weekend to boot. Today I had not one but TWO PB&J sandwiches for lunch with Doritos. Why oh why do I do these things to myself? I know when I’m doing it that I’m going to regret it, then I do, yet I still do it. I did get...

Friday Weigh In
I’m down 1.4 pounds!! STILL not under 240 but so so close. I weighed in at 240.4 today.
I ran my mile in 13:36 today!!! That is my new record. Each day this week I’ve improved a little bit more. I am so proud of myself. I stretched before which helped out with the leg cramping a little bit.

Here's how this Friday is going to go!
I’m up early, which is no surprise since my body is completely adjusted to waking up at the crack of dawn. I stepped on the scale and really really didn’t like what I saw. I’m going to drink some water and see if I can get the number down a little bit…I don’t know if that’s even possible but I figured I’d give it a shot.
So while I pound water I’m...

Long weekend!
We have a half day with students today and then it’s a long weekend! I am hoping I am able to avoid all of the temptations that will be coming my way with Memorial Day weekend. Also, I plan to run tomorrow and Sunday…keeping up this every other day thing.
Wish me luck with my weigh in tomorrow! The scale has been up all week…so we’ll see.

I found some stretches! →
I’m going to do some of these before I run next time and see if it takes some of the pain in my calves away…

Running Advice Needed!
I totally blew my own mind and beat my mile time today by 46 seconds!!! I ran it in 13:42 today. I could really use some advice. I had this really terrible pulling feeling in the back of my calves when I was walking and running. It hurt so bad that I really had to slow down at the end. Any advice for preventing this??

I am really sore today!
I think it was a bad idea to run on both Sunday and yesterday. Two days in a row = bad idea! I don’t think I’ll be doing that again.
Lacing up my sneakers and trying to beat my mile...
What would be a good mile run time goal?
Today it took me almost 15 minutes to do a mile. What would be a good goal?

Random Thoughts for Sunday
1. It is so hot out. And it’s only May. It makes me wonder what the summer has in store. I am not a fan of extreme heat. It makes me really irritated. Maybe we need to go A/C shopping…or maybe even pool shopping! 2. My husband and I are watching Top Gun. Everyone says it’s so shocking that I’ve never seen it, so I’m giving it a shot. I had know idea Anthony Edwards...

Weight Loss Challenge Day 13-Are you losing weight...
I am 100% losing weight in a healthy way. I truly believe that’s the only way to do it. Fad diets and crash diets and starvation will only work for so long. As soon as you go back to eating normally, the weight comes right back. I joined Weight Watchers back in January and I am really pleased with the success I’ve been having with the program.

I'm so jealous of runners.
I always have been. I’ve never even been able to run a mile. I’ve never been able to run even a QUARTER of a mile. I’m not sure why my goal is to be able to run a mile. Maybe because that’s what we had to do all through school. I dreaded mile days, because I was so embarrassed to always be one of the last people to finish. I want to be one of these people who LOVES to run....

Disappointing Weigh In
I’m right back to wear I was 2 weeks ago…with a 1.4 pound gain. I just want to get to the 20 pound loss and keep going. It seems like I’m never going to get past this point!
