I'm back! For Realzies!

Okay, so it is time I am serious about posting my progress.

This year I have lost a lot, but gained it right back as soon as I stopped moving. I got into bad habits with eating and sleeping and now I regret not keeping up with the workouts and healthy eating habits, even though I was burnt out, it was not worth gaining it back. It comes on faster than it goes, now the hard work starts over again. Someday I will learn, I hope...

I am, however, proud to list my accomplishments:

  • 3 5ks so far
  • 1 10 k
  • 1 15 k
  • 2 half marathons so far


On Sept. 11th I will be running in my first relay race. I am very excited but I have 3 legs to run in 24 hours:

  • Leg 1= 6.5
  • Leg 2= 6.3
  • Leg 3= 3.9


I also plan on running at least 2 more half marathons this year.

My new adventure in weight loss starts on Monday, May 24th. I joined a local Boot Camp for 3 months, so by Aug. 23rd I Will be looking good. I will be working out 5 days a week at 5:30 am. Yeah, crazy I know!

I really want to push myself and I am so glad I have a very supportive husband. I also added climbing to my list of things I do and I want to get stronger and smaller so I can climb like a pro.

On Sunday I will be posting a before picture of me and I will try to post an update picture every 2 weeks to show my progress. I hope my Journey in weight loss can inspire you to get out there and take control of your life. It feels real great to be in control. Please, don't be shy, ask questions, post your comments, I would love the support! Sometimes a good sports bra isn't quite enough ;)

  1. I love that you're setting goals; I'm realistic... I LOVE sweets! Since nursing, his stomach can't handle all the sweets I love, so I allow one day a week that I can have a little something. I don't crave it as much anymore, but I still get to indulge myself a little. If you ever need a workout buddy I'd love to do it with you... I need to get back in the game!

  2. Thanks Aubrey! I would love to workout with you!

    This week is actually friend week so the first day is free for the class, I think you have to pay 10 to the Daybreak community center to get a card though.

    It is so crazy but fun! I am glad I signed up.

Purple Day 5k for Epilepsy

On Saturday March 24th I had the opportunity to run in the first Annual Purple Day 5k for Epilepsy. This will go down as one of the most heart warming, memorable races I have ever done. This race was created by some of my most dearest friends, The Green Family: Greg, Angela, Gabe, Marisa, and the inspiration for it all, Natalie. Natalie is 11 years old and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy when she was 8 months old.   I decided that I wanted to race and support this great cause and my friends to help find a cure for Epilepsy. Purple is the color to support Epilepsy so of course, if you know me, you go big or you go home and so I went big and bought me a purple morph suit that covered my entire body, head to toe in purple awesomeness! You should have seen Natalie's face when I showed up decked out in my purple-tastic outfit, priceless!   There were 160 runners/walkers at this race and an amazing group called  Push to the Finish  that pus...

Biggest Loser Casting Call- Season 12

Hey everyone! So, last week my friend texted me and asked if I would try out for the Biggest Loser with her. We have been friends for 15 years and I just adore her. She is why I met the man of my dreams, she went to school with McKay and set us up and the rest is HISTORY! She asked, I said yes and now we are getting ready to go show the casting directors why we should be on the Biggest Loser! I honestly think if the casting directors see in us what all of our friends see in us that we would be awesome for the show! A lot of you already know my story and I continue to get messages on facebook, comments on my blog and emails from friends telling me how I have inspired them. We had a chance to win a VIP pass on KSL on facebook, so I called on my friends to help out and I am so overwhelmed by the love and support of you all! Thanks for all of your comments. My friend, Shannon was the lucky post winner. She won for me and I am so excited I get to go with my friend to this open casting ca...
