Typically I’m way more focused on what my body can do vs how my body looks, but I won’t lie: My expanding waistline when I hit menopause was a source of growing displeasure. As a marathoner, consistent gym-goer, and mostly healthy, mindful eater, I felt I was doing more than enough to keep my weight [Read More]

Weightloss Wednesday: The Beginning
One of my 2016 goals is to drop 10 lbs. No time like the present to get cracking on that, right? Now that the glittery confetti of New Years has settled, let’s get down to business.

#WIAW: A Day in Life w/a Meal Delivery Service
I was so happy to finally get the scale moving in the right direction when I did Laura’s 21-Day Reset back in September.

What I Ate/Weigh-In Wednesday

No earth shattering weight loss to report but things are moving slowly, in the right direction. Pre-run breakfast: The good ole banana with almond butter, with 1/2 a cup of coffee and lots of water.

I started the day in my usual way: 1/2 a Think Thin bar with 1/2 a cup of coffee with a pinch of Stevia. Oh and a big glass of water. Morning snack was a banana w/almond butter and more water.
