- About Me:
- I am 22 and one month shy of finishing my Master's degree in Teaching and am excited to start teaching 1st grade in a bilingual program next fall! In high school I was always very heavily involved in sports and therefore very active. Since then, while completing my undergrad, my life and exercise routine has changed dramatically. Where I used to exercise seven days a week, I now feel lucky if I make it to the gym once in a week.
Although I do not consider myself to be someone with a serious weight problem, in the past three years I have gained about 15 pounds that I wish were not attached to my body:) My lowest weight since highschool was the beginning of my freshman year of college while I was training for the Portland Marathon. At that time, I weighed approximately 133-135 pounds.
My goal is to get rid of this extra weight and drop back down to 130…or maybe even 125 :) I truly love to exercise so I am also trying to incorporate that back into my daily life although I know it will be a challenge as I’m trying to balance student teaching, my schedule of classes and homework, as well as work. Oh well…I’ve always loved a challenge and to dream big!
Thank you for your support and encouragement and I look forward to sharing weight loss success with you all!

Sunday... and CANSADA
If you want to know the real reason why I haven't been blogging I think I've finally nailed it down. I AM EXHAUSTED. It is not because I've been on some huge chocolate/junk food binge, NOR is it because I haven't been exercising. I haven't been blogging because I haven't had time and I'm exhausted. Everything is coming to an end as far as my Master's program goes and even though I know I will get done, it feels like it's all crashing down on me. Last week when I got home from Colorado I was up a… Continue

Over in Colorado...
Well I am sitting here waiting for my sisters to finish getting ready so I decided I'd briefly check in. In all honesty, I have not been keeping track of what I've been eating, but I have been sticking to my running schedule and trying to eat as close to CORE as possible. I really want to be down on Tuesday but I don't really feel like I will be. Because of having a tight budget, and the fact that we have to eat out so much I've been trying to make healthy choices but it would be a lie to say th… Continue

Weigh-In Day...
Well I woke up this morning and weighed in at 138.2 :( I was disappointed but thought I'd weigh again tonight after my run. Today I ate: Core cereal (Kashi) Banana grapes Smart Ones (Core) SF pudding Whole wheat pasta spaghetti Salad Slice of bread Some M&Ms So after school I went to the gym and ran 4 miles today (thank goodness this is a light week!) and I could not believe how much I was sweating. When I got home I weighed in at 137.4 (.2 under last weeks weigh-in!) WOO-HOO...I ended up… Continue

Sunday...and the countdown continues!!!
14 teaching days left til my programs done!!! That sounds bad cause I actually LOVE being in the classroom, I just hate all the homework and extra work that goes along with finishing my master's degree! I'm so excited to be finished! Okay on to the weight world. I did good this week. Well at least I think I did...although day wasn't that great. Yesterday was pretty succesful although I did eat Coldstone ice cream after my soccer game. By the way...it was about 200 degrees in the indoor park and… Continue

Week Update...
THURSDAY: I started the day by running 6 miles (with my oh-so-supportive friend Danielle and her adorable daughter) and I ate Core the entire day until we went out to Mexican food and even though I didn't actually really like what I ordered I probably used like 10 flex points (Cause I DID like the chips and salsa!) At the end of the day: 19 flex points left FRIDAY: Day off from running! Woo-Hoo! I ate Core all day until the end of the day when I drove up to Portland to meet a friend. I'd say I… Continue
