The Side of Weight Loss that No One Ever Talks About.



Hello True Believers,

  Here is my video blog discussing the side of weight loss that no one ever talks about but is vital so we don't yo-yo in our weight. It is the adjustment in the way we see our new selves as well as changing our relationship with food to incorporate maintaining the weight loss as a permanent part of the new us. Enjoy!




Me transformation, thus far...even now, I am down to 206...only 6 more pounds until I hit my final, long term goal!

Me taking advantage of some very un-Louisville, KY (highs in the 80's! Usually we're around 110-120 with the heat index) weather last week and working out on the back deck.

    "Sara Lee don't know you"... that made me laugh.. & think!
    I get so caught up in the thinking who I am, who I want to be... having gained back all the weight I've lost in the past years, its so frustrating.. but you're right - stay in the NOW.
    I love your analogy of the gas tank too! Even me, who knows nothing of cars, knows how far I can go on a tank, how much it costs to fill it up, how much it'll hold.. that was eye opening!
    So you like the Biggest Loser Fit thingie around your arm???? I've always wondered about that! Do you have to pay a subscription to keep the info uploaded? I wanna know more! :)

    You have always been such an inspiration. No I don't have some fabulous weight loss story but I have pushed myself over the years to better myself as a person and an athlete. You have done incredible things, and you need not forget that. You deserve to be proud, don't allow yourself to be proud...just be proud- you have no reason not to be. You are a wonderful role model for your family and for everyone else.

Where I've Been The Past Week....

Hello Everyone, Some of you may have noticed and some of you may not have, but I haven't been online, whether here, Facebook, Twitter, or Daily Mile (I have spent some time on Google+, I must admit). And that was by design...I needed some time to think to myself. Last week I happened to look at the palm of my hands and notice quite a number of dark brown spots on my palm. I know my hands and knew that these were new. Which I was suddenly seized with an uncomfortable feeling: The Unknown. I emailed Damary, who helped me find a dermatologist and I called and they booked me for a week later (today), which if anyone who has been a new patient knows being seen this soon is both a blessing and usually a sign of urgency by the Doctor's office. Now mind you, a couple of weeks prior, I had started feeling crummy. So much so, I had told Damary if I kept feeling this way, I was willingly calling the doc to set up an appointment. So I went in today, having made the mistake of searching sym

I'm Fired Up!!!

So I will not mention names, nor will I apologize for what I am going to say or who it offends (I’m in my “house”, front door is ALWAYS open to come in, or leave)…but as my alarm went off…ok I will stop lying, I was up ten minutes before it went off, a barrage of thoughts ran through my head like the montage part of every episode of “Phineas & Ferb” I am weeks away from wrapping up my first year as a runner. What an amazing lunar cycle it has been for me. At first I started running because I wanted, no again being honest, NEEDED to lose weight and lower my blood pressure (go to any of the blog entries from a year ago, in case you don’t know, and you’ll see why). And there is no greater calorie burner than running (as long as you are willing to push yourself, compare an hour of any exercise, and running is most effective). Turns out, along the way, I discovered Me. Weight loss isn’t, and hasn’t been, on my radar in a while. I am not sure the last time I stepped on a scale. I just kn

Kentucky Derby Marathon Write-Up

So surprisingly, I slept through the night, Friday night. When the alarm went off, Saturday morning, I felt very rested and ready….Ready because I was on the verge of fulfilling a dream, and had put in the training. I grabbed my Superman shirt which I had the girls put there handprints in paint on, my Mile Dedication List that a dear friend of mine had made for me, my Power Balance Band, my Garmin, and put those one, and finished getting dressed. Damary and I knew that her and the girls weren’t going to be able to see me start, it was easier if they dropped me off, then she would go home with the girls (Lord knows they would have MORE than enough time to have a normal day before coming back to see me finish). As we pulled up and Damary was pinning my number on, one of my Daily Mile and Facebook friends, Wendy Bell, yells, “Hey Superman!” and introduced herself to me and Damary, which was nice to immediately see a friendly face. I then made my way, with all of the other runners to the S
