I feel so great when I do it, and feel so exhilarated when a run is complete. So why do I stop? I haven't run since the beginning of May and sadly let a medical issue be my excuse/crutch for not running. I was in the habit of running a minimum of 3…

A Little Bit About Me




I am a well rounded person that loves people, most especially family and friends. I am easy going, fun to be around. I am very sensitive. I have learned to try and put "me" first, that took me a long time to learn as the needs of others often came before my own. This enables me to be a happier person and in turn I am able to take care of my family and friends. I am a wife and a mother of three beautiful children; a boy and two girls.

I have been trying to lose weight since my late twenties, after the birth of my first two kids. I have been yo-yo dieting ever since trying everything under the sun. I had successes, but not too long afterwards the weight would eventually creep back on.

I started my weight loss journey in January of 2006. At that time I had 46 pounds to lose. I lost 29 of those 46. I was so ecstatic as I had not been under 150 pounds in I can't tell you how long, and I actually made it to 140 pounds. Because I was feeling so good, I wasn't as careful or as on plan as I should have been so I put back on 17 of the 29 pounds I lost after a year. So here I am in June of 2009 (that's when I started again) ready to get back to my lifestyle change because Weight Watchers really works as long as you stay on plan. I don't know why I veered off into the wrong direction because I never felt hungry or deprived while following the plan. But I'm back, and it's okay that I fell off the wagon because I'm on it again.

I look forward to getting to know many of you, and as always, thanks for stopping by. :-)

Truvia Prize Pack

I almost forgot to share what I got from Truvia! I probably should take a picture, but oh well. :-D



I answered a survey and my name was picked from a drawing. Truvia sent me a prize pack. I got a recyclable (sp?) tote, a water bottle, 2 boxes of truvia flavored drink mixes, truvia sugar packes and lastly a container of their new table sugar. Pretty cool!

Salsa on the treadmill....

I LOVE Spanish music - give me a good salsa or merengue any day! Naturally, I have a lot of this music on my ipod and well while doing my 5 minute warmup on the treadmill I can't help but break into dancing salsa! I probably look ridiculous, but I'm at home so I don't care! LOL! Needless to say, I ROCKED my 3 mile run today and I'm feeling sweaty, sticky, out of breath and completely exhilarated. 'Nuff said. :-D

Why do I stop running?

I feel so great when I do it, and feel so exhilarated when a run is complete. So why do I stop? I haven't run since the beginning of May and sadly let a medical issue be my excuse/crutch for not running. I was in the habit of running a minimum of 3 times a week and went down to zero, zilch, nada.



Today is the first day I ran again, and I ROCKED it! Yeah, my time has been better than it was today, but since not running in May I still managed to average an 11.45 pace, and for me

Back in the saddle.

Got the all clear from my doctor, so I went out for a run this morning. I'm not going to lie. It was TOUGH. I promised myself I would take it easy and do a walk run since I haven't run in some time. And that's what I did. But I felt like I struggled. I don't want to say that running has been easy for me because it hasn't. But I certainly had a comfort level when I was running consistently. I did not have that comfort level today. I walked more than I ran, and I had to stop for water which is

Thanks for the comment Jeannie. I just can't take anymore negativity. There is so much to be grateful for and I need to embrace the good things, let go of the bad, and make good choices for me. The rest will fall into place. We can both do it!

Thanks for the comment Jeannie! I think sometimes we just don't like to come to the logical/right decision by ourselves and need to hear it from someone else. :-)

Thank you! It was a great run, I impressed myself! :) I had a Zune but invested in an iPod Nano just so I could get Nike+, it was totally worth it for me. I love it! I found an inexpensive refurbished Nano on amazon.com.
