But you’re fat?

I'm a plus size gal. A few months ago I was much more plus size than now, but I'm still plus size. Over the past two months I have really got into running, if you couldn't tell from my posts. I'm not a skinny runner. Let me say that again, I'm not skinny. Why does …

Home Workouts To Do

The gyms are still closed. It's going on 3 months. Our area is moving to "Green" phase next month. Meaning our government overlords are allowing gyms to open at 50% capacity. Oh. Only 50% capacity? Which means that there will be people turned away at the doors. Hmm. That's a problem. What's a gal to …

A break from the pavement

Today was the first day I've ran in three days. I'm still a big girl so pounding that pavement finally caught up to me and I ended up hurting my hip and leg early this week. Fortunately, the Nordictrack that my husband bought was delivered yesterday. Ignore my big green cup, my under armour water …

Is My Mind Changing?

If you've read any of my previous posts you'll see that I have been running pretty steadily for the past three-four weeks. I've never been a runner. I have always HATED just the idea of running.

Face to Face

I've been working out pretty steadily since January. I've had a few slip days...okay more than a few. I've had days where I said fuck it and ate whatever I wanted. Yesterday was one of those days. (I have been beyond stressed out lately.) That being said, I honestly didn't think anything about my body …

My Favorite Running App

I've recently started running outside...again. I'm more of an indoor gym kinda gal, but due to the world shutting down I've had to improvise. Running sneakers and pavement have taken over as my main source of cardio. In order to figure out how far I've gone, how fast, and how many calories I've burned I …

My Favorite Food Tracker

I mentioned in another post ( I've realized I start a lot of sentences with the word So...So I need to work on that.) that I'm a calorie counter. I've never been able to stick to a diet for long because food. I love all the foods. So I'm keeping track of how much of …
