Surprise! (Again)
So I sat on here mapping out potential routes this morning before leaving for a run. (Nothing was going to stop me cause my weight jumped from 174 to 183 since Sunday) I tried mapping a route from my house to a lap around Prospect Park which came out to about 9 miles. I tried to see what it would be like to take the subway to Court St and then run across the Brooklyn Bridge but that was only...

It was a size 10! (cause I still have boobs)
EDIT: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! For those of you that asked- I got it at H&M for $40 (and they have it in black, too) and last time I got a dress, it was an 18 so I was hoping for a 12 and was swimming in it. The size 8 fit my waist but not my boobs, so I got the 10.

Self-Righteous Grocery Shopping & Wedding Plans
EXHIBIT A Yup, I got self-righteous at the checkout counter again the other day. I used my wedding outfit money to buy the stuff, I might as well feel good about it. Speaking of the wedding, plans have changed. I was going to take a train up there to Saratoga Springs on Friday the 1st, have a room with a big bed all by myself and pamper myself all lonesome-like in the hotel between fun...

Like Birds
This morning, I woke up and stretched and bemoaned my tired aching body. It was 6:32. Absolutely no excuse available to me to let me stay in bed when it was obvious I had more than enough time to go for a run. My hormones beat me to death all weekend. And by ‘beat me, I mean, hammered me against the side of a cliff, repeatedly until my brain was leaking out of my ears. So I had no desire...

SoHo Fitting rooms, Firsts and o Fashion Week....
So… tonight I get to do something I have never done. I get to look for a dress for a black tie affair, a wedding in upstate NY on October 2nd. Yes, I’ve been to black tie affairs before, but I’ve never been to one where I weigh less than 230 lbs. So my evil Queen villain and I are heading to SoHo tonight, cause I really love this dress: Which means it’s time...

Villains and Battle Strategies
** I somehow lost this article and had to try to remember what I rewrote so I could repost it- I think it got edited down alot. Probably for the best, I talk too much anywaze. AHEM…. There is a villain in my life. A critical, poisonous voice that stands behind me in my reflection. Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, she hisses in my ear, Who’s the biggest of them all? And she threads...

20 POUNDS
I can lose 20 pounds. I don’t know how long it will take me, but I’m not letting this plateau be where I stay for the next six months. I can lose 20 lbs. I can wake up early a couple times a week and run. I love to go for morning runs. Running is the new black. I heard this recently and decided I needed it on a tshirt. In fact, I’m going to put it on my facebook status right...

Question for SparkMates...
How do you keep your intensity high in the fall when it isn’t as hot? Seems to me that I’m going to have to work harder to sweat as much- but I don’t know if I will be burning the same amount of calories or more… Let’s all go google the hell out of SP and find out! Report back ASAP! EDIT: 6 minutes and 4 comments in, I remember that you are all smarter than me.

What I've learned from 75 pounds...
My metabolism goes into hyperdrive when I’m on my period, so adding even the smallest bit of exercise on those days seriously shows up on the scale when that TOM is done. You ALWAYS feel better if you work out, no matter how badly you want to skip it, are too tired, feel like being lazy, too busy, sore, etc. ALWAYS. And not just physically and mentally- but your confidence gets an...
