Cruising along!

I see it has been a while since a blog post, November to be exact. Things are going pretty well in my corner of the universe, at least on the weight loss front. Since Jan 1st I have lost 21 lbs and today I went for a 5 mile and ran every step of it. So my goal for the year is to run another 1/2 marathon. Work is getting better slowly but surely. Julia is having a great time with her cheer team and they are having a great season. So maybe some other good things will come my way.....time will tell!

Fat chick running..........and skiing.

I am forever a fat chick, it doesn't seem to matter how much I do, the one problem I have is putting down that fork. I'm not sure i'm capable of the massive amounts of physical activity it would take for me to be skinny, since working out 4-5 days a week seems to get me nowhere. The one thing though is that I haven't let it stop me. Yes i'll be doing the 5K tomorrow and yes i've done a half marathon while weighing more than 200 lbs, and yes I will be doing some skiing, hopefully LOTS of skiing this year. So we all come in different shapes and sizes. And yes, it is possible to be athletic, even if you are NOT skinny.

Every day is a new beginning

Well what a day! Today was one of those "what the heck AM I doing" days. After reflecting about many things i'm not so sure about my path at this point. I finally graduated from college, you know like completely done with my Master's Degree. Now time to pay back the loans. I bought a boat, which has been enjoyable this summer, but after today at work. All I can say is WOW, I hope things get better. It's August so fall has started to rear it's ugly head and making me think about winter/spring vacations. So this is a random post, just to get the blog going again and hopefully I can use it to keep myself on the right track.
