Yeah, I announced it this morning on my personal blog (it is the MONTH OF MEL! after all) but I wanted to share with my fellow Fat Chicks (and Dick are you still around Joe?) I have lost 22 lbs! I get to buy my 20 lbs reward CD and I’m just 3 lbs away […]

I ran for 25 minutes today, and walked for 40 for a total of 4.5 miles. Yesterday I walked between 5 & 6 miles in an hour and a half. I can walk for days. I’m slowly but surely coming to the realization that no matter how much I want to be a ‘runner’ I’m […]

He’s cute. He’s a trainer. He’s a he…and he has a bit of a mean streak. Methinks he might even be a little sadistic. Good thing that turns me on, huh? Seriously, he likes adding a “little” extra weight. Or making me push a “little harder”. I think he likes the sex noises I make. […]

Um…happy birthday to me. I talked my mom into paying for two race registrations for my May birthday gift. She thinks I’m nuts (and I think I’m nuts) but I feel kinda good about it. My financial adventures started lightly. The numbers weren’t bad and the race price goes up this weekend so I had to lock in […]

I think I broke through my plateau this week! I lost the 1.5 lbs I wanted to! I’m so stoked. Was it changing up my routine? Was it the extra Green Tea? Was it the flaxseed? A combo of all of the above? Who knows…I’m just stoked that I finally broke free. I think it […]

After 2 weeks of plataeu, 1 week of 2lbs of water…I FINALLY broke through. FINALLY. Okay, it’s only a 1/2 loss, but damn at least it’s a loss. Now I have to lose only 1.5 more lbs to get my next CD. I’m debating between 3 different ones: Bruce Springsteen: Working on a Dream Breaking […]

They call it “The Happiest Race on Earth” at least that’s what it says on the bottom of the medal you score for managing to finish the course in under 3:30. As far as I’m concerned the jury is out. All I know is I saw this  It is SHINY And I like shiny. The question […]

*medal update* After gleefully anticipating the daily mail delivery for a week in hopes that each day would bring my half marathon bling I finally broke down and wrote a note to the race organizers. Hello, I apologize for bothering you but this year’s Surf City half marathon was my first ever race and I’m […]

Funny how CK is trying to blame me for her CA Marathon Medal obsession. All I did was call her and kevetch about being a lazy ass while all these people were running around me and decided right then I should train for a marathon. CK is the one who jumped all in and decided […]

So the book is done mostly done. Monday was a terrible day and it was a fantastic day all at once. I wrote 52 pages in one day. Let me tell you, that is a miracle in and of itself. One should not inflect that kind of stress on one’s brain though because it has […]
